Yeah you can roll a bogged guard...gotta be very careful that's all, and be prepared to touch up. Paint can crack anyway without bog there. If guard roller is good it'll only crack in the part that gets rolled and then you can't really see it.

Mine needed rolling front and rear FYI

But I'm running 265's on the back and 235's on the front.

They were only just rubbing, rears rubbed when going over harsh bumps and fronts rubbed when turning

sorry to bring this thread back up, how will 17x8+33 and 17x9+37 look guys? i just want something to sit good without needing spacers, i am also going to have camber arms on the rear and if anything ill get the front rolled

these are the specs they have in stock as im most likely going through this dealership, its giving me a headache trying to work out what to get :wacko: i just dont want something to sit inside my guards to much

The 17” D1R’s come in an 8, 9, 10 option.

17 x 8 is in an +33 offset.

17 x 9 comes in +37, +17 and -4.

17 x 10 comes in a +15.

The matt black in 17 x 9 +17 and 17 x 10 +15.

See my previous post for side pic. it needed the guards rolled but thats all, no camber arms.

    • Hi all, I’ve just finished fitting the timing belt on my RB25, following the standard procedure: rotate the crank twice, release the tensioner, then tighten it down. The belt feels tight, and you can see that clearly in the picture below I’ve heard some people say it’s actually better for the belt to be slightly loose rather than too tight, as excessive tension can lead to snapping. So that’s in the back of my mind. What I’m seeing is this:  • At idle, the belt looks fine.  • But when cranking and especially when revving (around 3–4,000 RPM), there’s a momentary flap/flex or flicker in the belt, which I’ve tried to capture in the video. So my question is — based on what you see, is this slight belt movement something you’d consider normal, or am I just being OCD? Could this amount of movement cause sync issues? Or is it just a harmless bit of flex under load?   from what I know belt flap and flex is expected when crank spins up and pull cam with it Would appreciate any thoughts or similar experiences.     IMG_7656.mov IMG_7657.mov
    • I've replaced the front brakes of my NA to 324 brembos and 350z calipers: i'm going for 225/40-18 up front and 245/35-18 in the back. I have Rays 7.5*19 ET35(225/35) in the front with 5mm spacers otherwise the calipers "lock up/ won't rotate". When i use the calculator i come up with 8*18 ET30 for 225/40...... but not sure i get problems with the calipers. Anyone riding around with 18 inch. that can confirm "that it'll fit"? In the back it's 7.5*9 ET30 (245/30) with the 5mm spacers, but there is no problem with the standard small brakes, so i want to take 8.5*18 ET25 (245/35).
    • Lol.. but then.. always come back to a JDM..
    • Glad to hear. If possible, get your tuner to check air's to make sure everything is still where it should be.
    • The problem with FB/Insta/Reddit etc comments relating to cars is simple. You get to ask a question once, and get one round of replies. For things that can actually be answered in a few lines of text, once, it's fine. After 6 hours, your original question is lost to the void. There are no follow ups, additional questions, anything. No project car is ever such a simple list of questions to ask. You need discussion.
