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

    • Each to their own I guess  Me, I put just as much time into cleaning inside of the cars as I do on the outside As for getting wet, it is really no different than steam cleaning the carpets at home, apart from the cars carpet dries alot faster than the house, again, I only do it in the hotter months and leave the car opened up for a few hours As I only do it yearly, it is just before I do the diff and gearbox service, so I clean the carpets, then it's up on stands, wheels off, service, clean the undercarriage,  grease the bushings and do a nut and bolt check on everything  Disclaimer: I typically had all the time in the world to kill when I was working 🤣, so spending a full day or 2 cleaning, serving and "looking at stuff" was,  easily achievable, and a fun mental therapy day As for time to kill, I retired last Wednesday, so apart from my physical training, my days are filled with lots of random jobs around the house and garden...."Idle hands are the Devils something something" I am also buying a new house sooner rather than later, I'm actually looking at a potential property tomorrow, I'm looking forward to getting a car hoist as I'm starting to get to old to crawl around under a car, I can only imagine all the undercarriage cleaning and looking at stuff when that gets set up
    • Yeah, I'm not interested in wetting the carpets, and I don't care about brown dirt/dust that lives deep in the pile or underneath. It's not like I crawl around on them in my birthday suit or eat dropped food off them (because there is never any open food in my car). The seats are alcantara (cheap Chinese imitation alcantara, to be sure!) with barely 1" of foam pad behind the surface. That's not getting wet either. Any car that I would be happy to get the interior wet, I would not care to put the effort into.
    • We have one that holds 2.8L of water. On floor carpet that hasn't been touched in 2 or 3 years, will take a minimum of 2 fills of the tank to do a bedroom, and that's going AROUND the bed.   In the cruiser, I used an ENTIRE 2.8L tank, just on the front passenger footwell. But it had some fungus growing, and had been full of mud from being used as a 4WD for many years. I can do that floor again, and it will still pull mud out. However, the water now only looks dirty, not pitch black and leaving full sludge in the bottom of the tank it sucks back into. Oh, and, this is about a $1500 unit.
    • This is mine, works a treat for the cars, suction is good, I use the Bissell clean and protect stuff I have found giving it a good spray and light scrub with the soft brush on the head of the nossle for carpet, and a rub with a microfibre for cloth seats and cloth door trims, prior to another quick spray before vacuuming it up works the best @GTSBoy You would surprised on what it gets out of carpet and seats that actually "look" clean, I recommend that you test drive yours when you have a little time to kill, then post pics of the muddy looking water that I believe you will find
    • I think even the "commercial" capacity ones that you would hire from supermarkets etc wouldn't have the capacity to do all that much in one go. I will go through half a dozen tanks of solution and dumps/rinses of the waste tank for one little 2 seat sofa. Or similar for one 6 footish rug. That's the price you pay for something small that only takes up a bit of cupboard space, instead of something that takes up the entire laundry cupboard or half the shed.
