Game Change

[works 510]

Yeah my car has rake, all of my cars have lower front ends, just like it I guess.

Plus helps with the shit IRS.

Sump saver? dry sump haha.

[FJ20DR30]

good solution!! haha and yeah the rake looks good bro just makes it a bit of a sump puncher! haha but in all seriousness maybe some heavy springs would help?

[works 510]

Spring rates are 8kg in the front, around town its not bad, just when I take it to the hills it cops it.

that hurstbridge to kinglake road especially.

Ben also brings in used JDM wheels, the warehouse has some amazing goodies...

I have bought old rims, then got them sand blasted, then powdercoated, all up its about $60 per rim. Looks great too.

[FJ20DR30]

He looks good value!!! having said that the wheels are few and far between (offset/size wize) but you never know!

Dan, im going to put 10+kg fronts in mine its about the same as a track s13 would run and withthis new setup i intend to do track days in it,

i didnt get to speak to the flairs guys today but i will do, id say z flairs would fit.

Cheers

shit the more i look maybe the 16x8 and 16.9.5 look the size i want gosh its hard to decide!

poll?

15" or 16"

just look based only, not on brake fitment ground clearance etc

[works 510]

to be honest its up to you.

Its your car

(15" wheels if it was me)

check these, sick!

[FJ20DR30]

arghhhhh!!!!!! what are you doing to me haha they are sick!! but there to big i think?? also i really would love more dish 10-10.5, 11??

im really feeling 16s to be honest but maybe your right??? i really want to nail that image top of this thread though i think 16s look like the go to me.

rotas would save alot of money! (lets not make this into a debate about there quality please!!!) in particular if the fitment is not right it does not cost me 2500!!

also i made these tonight

Koni adjustable's with 8kg springs

on to the front next im using the the originals and putting in koni Z31 inserts which makes them 45mm ish shorter

Dude only 15 Watanabes if you want a legit look like the model.

Offset calculator-

If that fails, Ben from Otomoto Has owned a DR in the past and currently owns another. If he doesn't know approx specs you would need he may be able to ask someone.

Also keen to see how you navigate cutting the guards as I need to do mine too (harder for me as flairs are already attached).

[FJ20DR30]

I have emailed Ben, no response as yet..

I have also been attempting to overlay images over the image of that toy and they really seem bigger than 15"(hence why I'm thinking 16 ATM, if you look at the wheel space at the front in particular and compare that to a car with 15s the wheel on the toy fills it better with a smaller profile tire don't you think?

As for guard cutting! That still gives me nightmares haha, I'll likely get the panel shop next door do it..

[ydr030]

If only u could buy wide body panels like u can 4 silvias. Life woukd b easy

[FJ20DR30]

16" is what they are.. iv mathematically worked out the scale haha

16.1417 mm to be precise

[FJ20DR30]

hey so im underway what do you think? first day so not a flash picture but this is just a sneak peak

[ydr030]

Porn. So u went 17s ?? Tell me wat flares u used 260z ?

[FJ20DR30]

17s yeah, i used 240z flairs from topstage there not perfect though so i may get dr30 ones from Japan?? it still needs to be lower + so so much other things

[ydr030]
