I'm not a fan of stretch at all (but that rim had bugger all ant). My rule of thumb for the minimum is 255 for 9.5, 265 for 10 and 275 for 10.5.

Not a bad rule...

yeah true. From memory, i think you can get away with 285 on 10.5 without dramas. A 34gtr lowered due to coilovers may not.

I think you can run 285 30s on 18s without too many drama, but 19s would be pushing it I think.

I wanna run 285's :(

Oh, and on a positive note (not for me as I'll wanna kill kunce) I am signing up for Ocsober... And u kunce have to Put up with me for a month with no beer.... It's not pretty but I'll do my best!

Greetings from budgiwoi guys. :action-smiley-069:

Hey hey, how you doing? Next cruise is booked for the 21st of next month, will you be around?

Oh, and for all you guys that know Jez -

Thought it would be a nice idea :D

Hmm I might be out for nats boys.

People have been losing jobs left right and centre at work because we haven't got any contracts after dec and they said today all 4th years that can be signed off early will be in nov. I'm guessing all that can't may be told cya later. I'm not sure if I'll be able to or not yet but should be ok.

But I don't think I'll get a job till after Xmas as everyone is telling me people to hire till mid-late Jan.

Thinking after I spend 1k at nats if something blows or I come off and break shit and I don't have income it could result badly.

Still haven't made up my mind yet, idk. Would be fun but I don't wanna blow an engine or something the. Have 1000 bucks to last the summer haha

You wont break the engine but you do have pads, clutch, tyres etc that will cop wear!!!

Just come down with us anyway if you want mate? Dont want you to miss out on a good thing....

Hey matt,if i'm up here then in for sure. genelle.

Awesome! Will be good to see you again.....

Unless you going to Texi? Then i may see you there as i will be off the drink so no point sitting around and watching Bathurst without beer, would be Un-Strayan!

hmm i think im mainly worried about the clutch, the trsut bearing always makes a grinding noise for a month after a track day.

idk, it should be fine.

i got some uplifting news today after writing that post so i may still enter.

just gotta hope people will be hiring in november i guess or ill be applying for supercheap over summer hahaha

My clutch went all of a sudden so i dunno if yours has been done or not, but it will be probably the weak link? Trust me, i am a clutch killing expert!

    • Thanks for posting, your engine bay looks tops. I'm fairly sure you posted the wrong video though, I think you were supposed to upload the one from your "private test road" where it's banging off the limiter with the gate open?
    • This is something to be careful of. I did a bit of digging on the NM35, as I spend a lot of time on near brand new cars and CANBus related stuff, which uses the same "OBD2" plug for a fair chunk of making my life easy. The NM35, does NOT support OBD2. The data pin is actually on Pin3, which is a manufacturer specific pin, and requires Consult3 to connect to the NM35. Your low voltage, is either because the NM35 doesn't have 12V to the constant power pin on the J1962 (OBD2) connector, OR, it is attempting the standard comms, (CanBus, K Line, etc) and can't see any voltage on those pins. Some people have had success accessing SOME data from the vehicle on OBD2 specification, using a module that supports KPW. My assumption, like Duncan has stated, it will likely actually be JOBD, where there is some cross over with the OBD2 and JOBD standards. Note, lots of "OBD2" dongles, do NOT support KPW, which is what you need for a lot of Japanese vehicles of this era (And even up until recent years!), EG, Subaru, Suzuki, etc.    The end of this thread is probably worth a read, as some people did find a way to get a display up in the NM35 recently, looks like someone implemented all the stuff needed to make it work. (The right protocols).  
    • Depending on the purpose of the car, and how much more fabbing you want to do, and what clearances you have, you could look to raise the motor, which will raise the front diff up. Likely would mean altering the chassis rails etc etc, hence the more fab work you'd need to do. However, this can create issues, not just in clearance with everything fitting under the bonnet, but you've also raised a LOT of weight up in the car, and this will DEFINITELY alter handling characteristics (But, so will how much weight you've already added to the front end). You'll also have to deal with the fact the gearbox to rear diff is now out of alignment too for the tail shaft, and alter the angle of the diff, or deal with a bit of potential vibration. Raising the motor an inch up, is effectively the same as making the whole car sit higher by not lowering it as far. So one inch higher motor, theoretically means you can drop the car an extra inch lower, and maintain the same angles in the CVs. Again, depends on the purpose of the car. If it's a just cruiser on the street car, maybe won't be an issue. If it's meant to be a time attack car, I can see you not wanting to raise the motor. This is just for you to ponder as an idea.
    • Have you not seen geospy.ai? It can now give GPS co ords to within a metre from a photo, even if it's a random photo you take inside. Supposedly at the moment only the government/law enforcement has access to that... Supposedly...
    • I've got the rear ones, they're certainly beefy. I need to take them to my driveshaft guru to check over, he's very fussy about the quality of components so I'll let you know if they are made of cheese by a blind man.   Are you in Australia? A mate just had a set of EN26 shafts made for his K20 Lotus by our fabricator which were quite cheap (compared to Driveshaft Shop) so if you can procure the CV's and draw what you need he'd make them for ~$800 for the pair.
