All this talk of tyres is making my brain hurt

Just get a second set of rims with some Dunlop slics and problem solved

Nah it's all good, just going to get a good street set.. Will get 18s in the future if I decide to track etc...

yeah 595 ss, i want rsrs but 1000 bucks >.<

on another note,

i just drove a gtr, was big and yellow and im f**kin getting one next year!!

cant beleive the difference!! uts f**kin epic!!! keep a look out for a 33 gtr boys. low kms, many mods, 20k

will be buying feb/march next year when i got a steady job

Was it the twins or the AWD

For the money of a 33 GTR you could get a Stag. Twin turbo and AWD plus room for a baby seat for future use

everything man, race seats, you felt like you were sitting in a jet, the twins sound sick, the twin bovs sound sick, the exhaust, the fact that everyone was looking at it just driving down a back street. f**kin awesome.

yeah but stags are f**kin gay hahaha.

Might need to buy a yellow 33r to get the 'deer in the head lights' look from everyone haha

Just have cash to rebuild 10K is a good firgure, i got stuck for a few weeks with mine when i blew it, lucky i "found" 10k. My rebuild will be done 1st week of next month costing around 9.2k, they had to order more parts then they thought as the head was FUBAR thanks to the 3rd and 5th bearing going for a swim through the engine.

Questionable 2nd hand r34 engine's...yes

Solid rebuilds....No

But good to hear it's coming along Adam. Unfortunatly build budgets never go to plan :unsure:

Edited by wedge_r34gtr

ah i see, so itll be stronger then stock now?

With Adam's build list, he definatly will be able to handle some more power pretty reliably.

But i was mainly refering to the knowledge that the engine was going to be in good shape once finsihed i.e.'solid'

    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
    • Neg, the top one is actually for the front. The sizes are 18x10.5 +18 and 18x11 +32.   I measured many times but I'm sure I'll have problems as this is the thread for problems.
    • Just one thing; tapping tapered threads is tricky. Taps are always tapered and you would generally run it as far as you can, but with a tapered thread you have to stop much sooner otherwise the wide part of the taper will run in too far and you will have to thread the sensor in too far too as well (possible that it will never make a good seal) BTW nice wide wheels, I guess the top one is for the back!
    • Welp, good to know. Will have to wait awhile until steady hands with drills and taps are available. In other news, these just arrived! I will weigh them for posterity. Edit: 11kg each (or 10.9/11.1 depending on what my scale decides over multiple tests, the 18x11 don't seem to weigh noticeably any more than 10.5)
