+12 offset should look pretty mad.

Getting them off Boost Automotive, Brad's got the best price I found. I'm also getting some tyres off him, amazing price also.

18x9.5 +12

I haven't bought them yet, just a test fit today.

Rears are nice a hella flush, heaps of room for everything. Front are a bit of a troll though. I'm going to measure the shit out of everything tomorrow and see what needs to change. to make it work.

Bolt on what? I don't know what you're asking!

I forgot GTR Guards were an option... Does anyone have any? do they bolt straight onto a GTS? Can I keep my blue NA GT badges? pirate.gif

What's the difference between the GTR and GTS guard? are they actually bigger? it's hard to tell in the pics :/ I see the indicator is smaller and there are some extra holes for more trim but that's it?

GTS Guards are so cheap I might as well just get a pipe onto my stock ones yes?

Edit: seems you need the guards, raisers, GTR hinges, bonnet and latch. to have GTR guards... hmm.

Going to get my pole on then. Fitment on these wheels just look too boss to not have.

Still going to paint the rim blue though. Do you think it'll be easier just to brush it on with some awesome modeling paint or something? because masking a perfect circle sounds like it'd be hard to do :/

why not just get a less aggressive offset on the front. its not a gtr so you dont need "gtr" sized wheels. plus wider track in the back will improve stability.

just an idea.

or more camber if you have upper arms?

or put r32 lower control arms in as they are shorter then shorten up the tops.

or dont do the last one.

You're starting to sound like a woman. "less aggressive", "shorter", "don't", Cmon man!

I've already got -4 degrees neg on the front, maybe should wind some more neg on, but I know the dude at beauepairs will have a teary about it then start comparing his KE70 to my car.

yea that may be right. some people say i have a massive V, but it also comes from experience with wheels and fitment or not, just trying to save you the stress and hassle of modifying guards at the track. i can guarantee when you spin off and hit a ripple strip with the wheels hanging out there wont be enough travel to save the guard. getting the correct size now will save in the long run.

Yeah, I'm just yanking your chain, I appreciate your advice and know you've got a wealth of experience :)

The plan is to raise the front about 5mm (it's too low atm anyway) and get my pole on and roll those guards up, wish me luck :D

    • 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.
