So much mirin Toby

Dark rims suit it I reckon!

Yeah dark rims are good

At the moment the current rims aren't wide enough

And I can't fit spacers at the moment even up to 25mm as the rim hub still hits the old studs

hot dam that paint is gorgeous, it just gets better and better

Thanks scmate!

shiiiieeet can't wait to see in person

Soon Leroy! Soon!

Down at OTR to fit a set of 265/40/18 Hankook Rs3 tyres

Big range of rims and friendly bunch of guys.

Tried some Te37 SL's 18 x 10.5 + 15 for fun. They have an Advan 050 295 tyre on them i think

Hankooks on

Front tyres are scrubbing the top bit of the suspension so I need to go either a 35 profile tyre or somehow fix the problem

Hnnng those TE37s are hot, awesome colour combo maybe you should treat yourself for christmas?

Ahh thanks mate. Spending that much on rims is out of my price range at the moment. I don't mind TE37's but prefer them in 19's with the dish!

So this is what happens when you run too chunky of a tyre. Suspension arm/knuckle is touche the tyre. Might need to angle grind it down for more clearance

Also I did play around with the idea of white writing on the tyres after seeing one on a hankook race car. But decided not to go ahead with it haha

Ah, I see now.

That's the camber arm, not the knuckle. Just cut the arm down.

If you really want, buy a offset bush and offset the arm higher. It will clear easy that way.

Oh i forgot to say that pic is with a 8mm spacer that I was trialing

Oh thanks. I have no idea about suspension bits lol

Might look into the offset bush if it is also a cheap solution

Are there other bits I may as well change at the same time if I change the bush?

Suspension is stock except for coilovers, so would like to do a few things to improve the handling before the next track day

I know I probably need front and rear adjustable camber arms for more negative camber

Isn't 40 profile bit too tall for Skylines? Most run 35 profile.

Yes it is a bit tall haha

Test fit of XD9's 18x10 + 18 265 Achilles tyre. Plenty of clearance

I don't mind Xd9s...

How many wheels have you trial fitted so far?

Hehe just borrowing a friends wheel for now till i fix the issue

If anyone has any Ce28ns I can trial fit...

This is the clearance I have with the Xd9's 265/35 tyre combo

    • The fab work can be as simple as a couple of silicon hoses and clamps to the factory piping. 
    • Just sounds like either way you need to do some fab work to get everything to fit, so why limit yourself at that point? If the GCG high flow option is zero effort in and out swap though I'd probably do that. It's almost certainly lowest risk, lowest cost, etc. The HKS GTIII-RS option that Kapr mentioned is laughably expensive for what it is, they charge the exact same for two turbos on the RB26 so their margins are off the charts on that thing.
    • Intake manifold is not a part of the issue. The turbo bolts to the exhaust manifold. That is easy. But close your eyes and picture the physical situation. That is a T3 flange on the manifold and a T3 flange on the turbo. As long as any new turbo has a T3 flange on the exhaust housing, that exhaust housing will bolt to the exhaust manifold. This places the exhaust housing in the same place as the stock one. But now move your mental attention a little further forward. The location of the compressor housing is set by the length of the turbo's core. The stock turbo had a long core. Let's say that it is..... 100mm long. So that would place the compressor housing 100mm forward of the exhaust housing. But a highflow, might well have a centre core that is shorter. Let's say that it is only 70mm long. Now the compressor housing will be 30mm further back in the engine bay than the stock one. This DOES move the turbo's compressor outlet backwards. It also moves the compressor's inlet backwards. You will very likely have to do some work to both the inlet and outlet piping to make everything connect again. I am not say this to make it out to be a bigger deal than it is. I am just pointing out that "bolt on" is sometimes not quite bolt on. The highflow from GCG that Murray linked above (https://gcg.com.au/turbo-charger-upgrade-skyline-gtst-2iu-xtrgts-s1.html ) uses a core that is the same length as the stock core, and so does not require this extra work. It will look very much like the stock turbo. No-one uses GTR turbos of any flavour (stock, or aftermarket) in a single turbo application on RB20/25. It's not a thing. Yes, people have been putting on GT3076, GTX3076 (and bigger and smaller versions of those) and G30s (of various sizes) onto RB20/25 since forever. But these are not "bolt on". Everything except the 4 bolts to the exhaust manifold change with these. And genuine Garretts are expensive. Non-gen, like Pulsar, etc, are cheaper, variously as good or nearly as good. But still not bolt on. No-one in the right mind would pay for an HKS turbo. Not in this modern day and age. Well, yes, the GCG highflow. You could ask HG what he can do to make the compressor housing sit in the original location. There are surely others doing highflows around the world. And some of the eBay/Temu ones (as reported by Dose) work and don't die. Bit of a lottery though. I would send your turbo to GCG (here in Oz) to be highflowed if you want a trivial no-extra-work option. But seriously, the work required to change inlet and outlet piping is not that hard. That's a boost control problem, not a turbo problem.
    • Thank you all for the replys 🙂 I know that intake would be different but that is one pipe at it is not that hard to get(custom one). I meant mainly bolt to the stock manifold and the turbo elbow. I looked and many sites/forums but they are just "old" with some old HKS turbos from GT-R i guess? What about some Garrets?  Or any other turbo? Is there even a turbo which i can just bolt on? 😄 And yeah i know about that new HKS but that is like 2000k USD without taxes/shipping in here   Iam getting a touch up tune but my "problem" is that on the "not" hot day iam getting peaks around 0,9 bar...and when it was around 15 Celsious i saw peak around 1 bar which is just too much for stock turbo. And of course turbo is old and i like to get some new one for a piece of mind 🙂 
    • I'm working on the assumption that our friend Jasmine here is a Russian (or, possibly Ukrainian) spammer/spambot, based purely on the number of such that I have been having to neuter in the last few weeks. IP address for the OP above was in WA. But that could have been via VPN. Posting at quarter to 4 in the morning is a good sign of being from somewhere in Europe. The last Jasmine that I kicked in the cooch was IP addressed in Ukraine. Even that could have been via VPN, and the bitchbot could have been from Russia, Serbia, China or anywhere. Regardless, was a spambot, so I killed it with fire. The fact that our new friend Jasmine here did not respond in any way to my tart query strongly suggests to me that this OP was just the establishment phase of a user able to be activated for spamming in a week, or 3 or 10.
