got a flat today and realised something that never crossed my mind... The bloody M35 space saver wheel does not fit over 350Z brembos! haha very frustrating...

easy fix.....take a rear wheel off put it on the from and the spacer can go on the back....lol....I am pretty sure I have the same problem :(

you guys got space saver wheels ?

ARX eh ? you got cheaped!

What a rip.. i got a 5th alloy with my stockies.. and left that in the boot. sure atessa is going to hate me but hey if its to get me home,

a 17 with a 235 is going to be better than a cheese cutter space saver :down:

although i rememeber reading some dudes taking it to extremes and getting their missus to drive them over 4 spares and changing the lot lol.

That's interesting, I wouldn't have thought there would be room in the wheel well for something much bigger than a space saver

Me neither, unless of course the underfloor storage was removed.

mine has no underfloor storage.. so that explains why theres just a rim sitting there lol

on a bad note , smashed a lm4 rim hard this morning.. on a drain.. hadnt even moved the car 1 foot and took a 1cm chunk out of lip and tyre.. not happy!.. turned the front wheels and reversed straight into it not realising i was next to the drain..and all nice smooth angled curb around it.. no F*&%^#$ room out the front of my house with 4 cars out there and only 1 carport.

arghh.. not having a good day. :P

did go to mtq and get a new actuator for the r33's turbo and took andy's old 100k turbo in and dropped it off for a tear down.

thanks for that andy showed up this morning..and the spacer , champ

If you kerb another one mate, you might have to ban yourself from driving the Stag :P .

I just don't park close to suspect gutters anymore, even a parking fine is cheaper than a wheel repair...

My missus is obsessed with doing it, anyone would think they give out prizes for getting the closest! I chip her about it all the time...

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
