Now on the quest for new wheels, as my current wheels have about a cm of poke at the front and require about 3 deg of camber at the rears.

Looking for F - 18x8.5 + 25 and R - 9.5 + 30, I believe these will be flush and fit 245/275 tires with minimal camber.

Any input from anyone? Offsets seem ok?

Cheers guys.

18 x 9.0 +35 (with a 10mm spacer to clear brakes) and 9.5 +38

245 and 265 tyres, KU39.

Next is sway bars front and rear I'm thinking, getting a terrible knock from my front end which I believe might be a sway bar end link :angry: Then maybe a 1.5 Way and then I'll finally get onto power..

Well I had my first track day..

Oil got to 130 deg after 2 laps, and water started to get close to the top of the dial after 3 so I had to backoff and let the car cooldown for 15 mins after every two laps, annoying to say the least!

So next up is a new china radiator + mocal oil cooler, which will require battery relocation and new washerbottle/catch can :)

Vid incoming of my terrible driving.

^^ Agreed, looks great!

Sliding around is always fun, looks like you're getting the hang of it, nothing helps more then practice :) . Then you can work on transitioning between the corners :P

How did you end up going with the radiator and oil cooler?

Bought a 42mm ebay rad and put that in, I have a Greddy Oil cooler + Block sitting in my shed but yet to put it in yet as I'm probably going to sell the car soon and buy an Evo IX.

Temps were fine on that track day although it was only 17 deg, oil sitting at 110 deg after 3 hard laps and water was fine. I'd say I'm going to need the oil cooler for summer track days if I end up keeping the car.

    • Or, the height of the release bearing is not correct for your combo. Start with the bleeding and checking the slave moves throughout its range when you press the pedal (2 person required), but it is possible for the height to be internally wrong too (box back off to measure.
    • Yes, there's quite a few things that can go wrong during a clutch install. Very unlikely. I have a similar clutch. They (ACS) make good gear. No, it is not normal. It is possible that you just need to bleed the clutch slave. But the new clutch will also have a more aggressive actuation force/pressure, and so your old slave cylinder might be a bit leaky or otherwise compromised, and not up to the extra force required. Or the master cylinder, same.
    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in?
