Oh yeah! Just checked the thread again, was around 230.

Unrelated, does anyone know if the Xtrail licence plate lights are the same size as ours?

Im looking at a wireless reverse camera, replaces one light with the camera and an LED light for the plate. Says it fits Xtrail and Quashquai (or however that stupid name is spelt).

Ok, well after what feels like forever, and is probably 6 or 7 months, I have finally got wheels on my car!cheers.gif

Details: Wheels - SSR Type F 19x8.5 +22 in Matte Black and very light! (JDMConcept)

Tyres- Continental Extreme Contact DW 225/40 19 (tirerack)

This is the same wheel specs as Bbenny's Enkei GTC01's. Thanks mate for putting up with my PMs about wheels all the time!

Very happy with the outcome - the fit is just right, I think it looks great. Pics taken really quick, with bad Camera. The car is Lowered with Eibach springs. Only criticism is that the rear looks a little high in the pics (car is on downward slope), but in reality I can just fit 2 fingers between the tyre and arch. The overall height is ok for me due to the driveway- lower I'd be scraping. Really, the photos don't do it justice. Nick- You'll have to take some good ones for me!

On with the PHOTOS!thumbsup.gif

Put the Angle grinder away Craig!rolleyes.gif

The car was parked downhill, so it didn't do it any favours. I think I need that clearance though, the Mrs has to go over epic speedhumps at work!

nice!

i have one too :)

Alex, the wheels look fantastic mate. good choice

Any idea what sort of power increase it gave you after installation?

Did the note or volume of exhaust change?

Edited by Ross

i can tell you that mine made zero change to anything. possibly due to the fact its still in my garage lol

i would imagine as its a de-cat pipe (and youll be installing the cat after this pipe *wink*) that the note would be more raspy and possibly higher pitched. but it will depend on your existing exhaust and if you have an aftermarket dump pipe

Finally got my new headlights in; when I got them there was an amber LED array that lit up with the driving lights/squid rings; was pretty sure this breached ADRs so Brad lent me a hand rewiring them up to the blinker; had to wire in the old blinker globe to up the resistance on the circuit to slow down the blinks too. A little hodge-podge, but the end result looks good imho. Hopefully the seals hold up :rofl:

    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
