^^^axles the same?, or same as pissy autos, not 260rs and rs4s ?

Ill been interested to see this actually driving, i know what mine hits and doesn't, and thats 18x9.5 +20 with 235's.

it still touches the coilover on big bumps on a full tank

Still not sure how it won't smash the coilovers once you hit the first little bump

Looks tuff though!, hope it all works out!

cheers

Sub frame are the same yes but what jet r31 is commenting on is the axles, s1 auto and s2 auto stages have relatively week axles given the weight of the car so if you start making decent power through them with hard launches and shifts they will snap. an auto will cushion them a bit but they will go as will s14 axles ect . So if you where to do this conversion for a serious mod not just the fact of fitting big wheels under it would pay to use a rs260 or rs4s rear sub and diff axle set up and gain much stronger/thicker 6bolt 33gtr axles that run in those cars , and as RS2000 is all ready running in the high 200kw range sure he will need it one day ,

And as jetr31 and mike have said I can not possibly see how 10.5 inch rims with that offset are not fowling rear coils , and make sure ya spring rate is not hard, when I had my 20s on the ride was bone breaking

went to local tyre power today to do a proper test fit, i need 25mm spacers on front. i have ordered 30mm to be sure, once they arrive i will get 4 new tyres fit and then we can see what dramas i run into then lol......................

    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
    • You have a knack for photography my friend. It makes the 86 look like a complete bucket. The 34 went with you to Europe and back. It's special. (we all feel the same about our 'shitboxes' that every bystander seems to absolutely love)
    • It's been quite the ordeal but hey, at least you figured it out.
    • The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow
