Hey guys, I've got an R32 GTS-4 and really keen on getting 18x9+20 on the fronts and 18x10+18 on the rears. But I want to make sure the rears will clear everything and there won't be any fitment issues with the rims hitting the insides of the car. Just wanna make sure that 10 inch wide rears wont affect the drive. Any advice would be very helpful. Thanks!

I'm after stretch and poke as well so I'm chucking 225/40/18 on the front and 235/40/18 on the rear. Should look insane!

Fashion over function?

Will look even better up on the hoist with a burnt out transfer case being replaced

you ask for advice, here it is.

what they are saying is - you do what you like so it will "look" awesome.

right up until the 4wd poos itself and you have to repair/replace the 4wd transfer case.

the skyline attessa needs the same rolling diameter front and rear in order not to shit itself. You use different width/aspect ratio tyres at your own peril

and while I'm not here to tell you what to do - it's your car - i will say:

1. it looks shit

2. the camber you'll run will destroy tyres instantly

3. the wear on CVs, etc will be greater

4. you run the risk of damaging the rim much faster

5. it will be uncomfortable as an enima, so if it's your daily ride, good luck with that

...and probably a whole lot more issues.

But hey, what price to get the bitches (which, contrary to what car modifiers think, it won't help you. F&F has a lot to answer for).

      Hello fellow enthusiasts

      Not too sure just yet, want to have a go at doing what I can myself, but to start with want someone to cast their eye over it tell me what needs doing to get it running and back on the road, so anyone with great overall knowledge would be ideal.

      Rear subframe stay bracket bolt removal issues

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I personally would go with cutting out the rubber. Then deal with getting sleeve off separately. Rubber can be painful to cut, it loves to jam up cutting tools. I normally have success with drill bits, deburr bits, angle grinders, jigsaw, reciprocating saw, and never forget... fire. Obviously different tools won't work in all locations you're trying to work with, and you need to be comfortable with each. You personally may be happy slowly slicing it out with a razor blade, if you are, go for it with one too! Feel free to wait for others to weigh in also on their thoughts.

      Rear subframe stay bracket bolt removal issues

      By DatsunBanana · Posted

      So ... I got everything disconnected and started dropping the frame. Three of the four mounts started to come down but the fourth one (the one with the nut that gave me all the trouble) won't budge. The inner metal sleeve stays up tight against the chassis rail although the outer part of the mount drops a bit (and can be levered quite a lot more) but it's just stretching the rubber bushing. So I reckon there's some serious corrosion inside the inner sleeve and holding it tight to the lug at the top of the bolt. Tried everything I can think of so far: penetrating oil, whacking the top of the sleeve to vibrate it and wedge a screwdriver blade in there. I also tried to turn the inner sleeve a bit by hitting it with a chisel at the bottom. It's stuck solid. What do you think about cutting the rubber with a blade so I can drop the subframe around it anyway. Then worry about getting the inner sleeve off after? Will that work? Is it gonna give me even more problems?

      Blue/grey smoke after idle

      By hypergear · Posted

      Steam valve seals are usually responsible for cold start smoke, it goes away once engine warmed up. Disconnect it let engine breathers and let it breath freely, see if problem goes away after a short drive. Also check to make sure engine oil drain pipe is not blocked or kinked.

      Haha thanks! Yea I'm moving over from 2x 1000cc jets pre throttle over to 6x 190cc direct port jets and 1x 500cc pre throttle jet.  Direct port comes with all the advantages you would expect, except that pre throttle does cool down IAT'S more. That's why my direct port nozzle placement is closest to the plenum as possible in the runners to allow the air more time to cool before being sucked in. I'm also putting that one 500cc pre throttle jet to help with more cooling. It's a hybrid system. There's a lot more advantages to moving over to a PWM solenoid with a constant pressure system vs my old PWM pump setup, but I'll get more into that once I'm done converting everything over. The ricer in me is excited to see SS tubing all over my manifold though!
