well things keep getting better and better....

thought id finally take my car down today to get some secondhand front tyres and a wheel alignment so the car would be pretty much ready for sale.

*sigh*

no such luck...

they took the rims off and one of them is cracked... the other buckled, which is why the steeringwheel shook so much, not the alignment.

so one rim is not reparable... the other is a waste of time... so back on go the stockies with enough tread to get a roadie so i can sell it.

getting rid of it for sure now... had enough.

man what a **** tard....

he tells me all this and then he puts the secondhand tyres on them anyway!

so he charged me 200 more than what it should have been... why would i want second hand tyres on a pair of rims that are ****ed?

i cant be bothered going back down there right now cause ive spent the last 2 or 3 hours there!

i'll just ring him and ask him if i can doit on monday.

ash - the stockies look shite under the GTR guards.... they sit in too far...

now my car looks like a wanna be drifter with the 17s on the back and the 16s on the front.

well this just gets batter and better...

i just rang the **** knuckle up and he wont take the tyres back...

he claims he asked me what i wanted to do with the wheels and tyres and i just said "chuck em in the boot" which i did say... but he didnt say they had their ****ing tyres on em.

now the cun! wont take them back.

if ur in the SE Burbs and want tyres or wheels dont go to ********** ***** they're a bunch of fu(ktards...

the only good thing to come out of this i spose is that my wheels were at least ligned properly.

    • Yeah i found that alot of parts can be wrong or "very" hard to get the real right one. I already bought some brakes years ago on me "old" GT calipers and they were wrong too 😄  I told them too. Even send them pictures...but they said "EBC catalogue has them on my car... So i dont know what their answer will be. I call monday them and let them know that they are really not on my car. If they were they would be already on a car...
    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
