what do people think of these?

1954DSC02561.JPG

available brand new in 17x9+30 17x9.5+30 and 17x9.5+15

thinkin if i were to go a pair of 9 and 9.5 in +30 all round.

in silver.

rears will probs need a little roll.

and fronts will likely need a small spacer.

ok so I was down at Japanese Import Spares this morning looking for nothing in particular.

talking shit with Koji bout laurel stuff I just thought Id see if he had some stuff in stock that was still on the site but Id asked him about previously and he just said no.

anyways... turns out he had this.

only just dried the first coat of paint.

gonna put another coat on before clear coating

fits fairly well really. needs to curve slightly, but Im sure once I get some sikaflex onto it itll take shape with some pressure.

slowly gettin there aesthetically with this car.

just need wheels and idealy some form of very subtle lip kit.

One of the 0310Motoring Cefiro's runs those DNA-01s.

By the looks of it in other pics, the fronts and rears are different offsets/widths, but this will give you an idea of fitment accomplish-able with standard guards/no body work.

Let me know if you want more pics.

You can buy FPR front and rear lips (bolt straight onto existing bars) from YahooJP (Import Monster) for around $150 each from memory.

Looks killer.

yeah thats sick. can you get me more pics?

and possible details on the wheels?

ive seen the fpr front and rear lips but they look odd. and are either lips on their own in gel coat or black on the car and cant see them haha

no decisiong on wheels yet. still waiting to find out about the panasports as the guy that is selling them sent me pics from other peoples wheels.

safe to say im a little cautious about it and am getting a mate in syd to go have a look at them.

recently been speaking to tom monkhouse a fair bit, and after a few visits, him putting his power fc in my laurel and it showing my temp switch being f**ked.

so i replaced the plug (as the switch it self seemed fine and i could only get a plug at the time)

hasnt fixed it so switch will be replaced asap.

also picked up a bunch of interior trims. unfortunately they are grey but ill paint them soon enough.

main thing im stoked about is this

factory seat belt, with the middle buckle so that it can be folded up and hidden completely.

lots better then the f**ked after market one it had in it (which i assume happened when it got registered originally)

wouldnt have been a problem except it wouldnt let you pull it out unless the car was on a down hill slope... go figure.

quite pleased with it. fit really well and was real easy to mount.

didnt think double sided tape would be so strong haha. put it on the window then went to adjust it abit but nope. stuck solid.

the sikaflex hadnt even had a chance to cure at all yet :P

yeah thats what i was thinkin.

not keen on 18s i think they look awkward on the laurel. my eurolines were 18 and yeah just made it look like one of them cartoon pictures people draw of cars with the overly oversized wheels haha :P

xt7/origin dna02? same same basically haha

lol i know what you mean

They are ridiculously similar hey. I just like the XT7's that little bit more - i think the definition and shaping on each spoke (compared to the origins) does it for me. Would love em for my own car! Either as a matter of fact :D

hey, i didnt check out the second page the other night: (lol @ Koji's typos)

WROK XT7 17x9j+17 5H/114.3 MGS new!!

DNA's will be cheaper though. And the clear finish look sets them off too

I buy heaps of shit off Koji, his prices are good but shipping to Gold Coast kills me.

I usually only like small old school wheels on laurels but this would pull off XT7's well, just might need a height adjustment. I had 17x9+17's on mine and the rears would've needed a pretty decent lip job to run 0 camber. Fronts were fine, actually had a 15mm spacer on.

yeah i do like small wheels on laurels how ever i also have a fondness for big brakes.

wouldnt be able to fit any smaller then 16" coz of my 33 brakes.

seriously thinkin bout xt7s/origin dna 02. but will see what happens.

any pics of yours for reference? also how much camber where you runnin?

Don't think I do to be honest, hated how it used to look, didn't take any pictures. Always had around -3 camber on the front, rear never aligned it but probably has negative 1-1.5ish.

Get something around +20 or lower and make it fit. Will look way better than something too positive. Fronts aren't hard to get clearance out of and rears are a bitch but make all the difference in looks.

so i bought those works on the weekend.

they were a little dirty so i decided to polish one tonight just to see how theyd turn out.

after

20120503_185556.jpg

really need to get a polishing wheel for my drill and got over it with some decent polish. theres a bunch of stains on it..

anyone know how to get them off/what substance to use?

Edited by DannyC33

im hopin so. they are 3 piece and actualy 8" and 9".

once they are fitted up and the laurel is at a hieght im happy with, ill take some measurements and see about gettin better fitment (if needed)

also wanting to get the centre painted/powder coated. thinkin either black or white with super shiny dish. and some stainless steel bolts.

    • 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?
