Scotty says he has a tiny bit of rubbing on full lock.

Plus had to roll the rear guards.

19 x 10 + 30 all round

You might need the Axis ride height for 20's

Yeah i read that somewhere. Do you know what size spacers.

As the others have said, 15 or 20mm.

I run 10mm on my Nismos which are 19x9.5 +40 and have no rubbing.

I don't think I could get away with 5mm spacers, nor would I try for that matter as there is not much room in there.

So I finally get around to doing a few things today.

Replacing a burnt out globe in the cluster, its only the shifter position but it pisses me off at night.

Replacing the weeping radiator. Just ordered one from Natrad $260 inc!!! Bursons wanted $465 (for the same thing). Pickup at 1pm and then the fun begins.

fan clutch has a little bit free spin, but there is no overheat problem atm. i know most people would say don't change it if no overheat problem, but i want to keep engine more cool!

so ordered new fan clutch (Shimahide branded from JP). now i could feel very noticeable strong wind under bonnet

for someone who has overheat problem, try to change the fan clutch. even though you test the stock worn viscous fan in cold and it is tight enough with just little bit free spin angle. it may have huge difference if you change new fan clutch.

no need to take out the fan shroud, just lose 4 bolts on fan pulley and make some angles to take viscous fan out.

Hook a brother up with the fan clutch ..... link?

Cheers

woohoo , got it all done.

The cluster globe was not burnt out , someone had been in that cluster before :glare: , the track on the PCB was worn away / cracked in one spot, soldered that and tested on bench all working.

Biggest issue was re-calibrating the needles as I had to strip the PCB out.

Radiator was a bit of a pain, but all done, the old top tank started to come apart in my hands, I'm genuinely surprised it had not gone bang.

One more burp tomorrow morning and a bay wash, hope nothing else breaks for a few months, I need to get started on the mods.

Got the Stag back on the road today. Hit a skippy on Easter Monday. It's sat in a forlorn state since. Picked up a complete roller and today it donated its face. Need to massage out the rad support behind the left hand headlight, but it's passable for now.

May was a big month for the ARX – finally had the head unit replaced with a single din Pioneer and Kanatechs fascia. For the benefit of Canberra Stagea owners, BDL did the install. Then a gearbox flush and off to Scotty’s Customs for a dump pipe, front pipe, cooling mod, new plugs, rocker cover gasket replacement and attessa, transfer case and diffs fluid change. Well worth the trip.

Got the following completed today ready for wheels tomorrow

- changed oil and filter

- replaced front inner passenger guard (grill due to transmission cooler in fro t of it to let heat excape)

- cleaned engine bay

- put the lower stone guards back under the front of the car

- finished securing Axis kit

- painted R34gtt front calipers black (yet to do silver 'NISSAN' writing

- placed spacer on exhaust so it clears kit70fba96b223414a91bfb5704af408dfb.jpge7176bddd3f9a300371b941f1c27eded.jpgdfb4aa956456a135d743585ef51abea3.jpg96f12d9fe38c063b4231f25877508790.jpg2a6161fa8529800f6a2d8ed588807374.jpg

yeah, my kakimoto also fight with rear bumper. exhaust shop just heat the rear muffler pipe then make a bit angle to avoid the bumper.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
