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.

    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2  
    • Thank you so much for the help
    • Yes it is ATF. I quote @Duncan "it takes a good synthentic auto trans fluid like Castrol Transmax Z" It's not a diff. It's a transfer case. Totally different thing. Yes, fluid will come out the sender hole. No you do not really need to drain it. Just pull the old, quickly poke the new, clean up and top up. But realistically, you should probably take the opportunity to change it anyway.
    • Hey all. I’m looking on replacing my speed sensor on my R33 GTR. Will the center differential need to be drained, and if so, the center diff uses ATF fluid D? I found information on the transmission, front diff and rear diff. Can’t find a for sure answer for the center diff. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
