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

    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
    • Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣
    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
