My wheels are Desmond Regamaster 17x8JJ +32 (with 3mm spacer) 215/45/17 front, 17x9JJ +35 245/40/17 rear. As you can see in the last pic, the caliper clearance was about 1mm without the spacers, so a 3mm spacer was put on just to be sure there'd be no contact.

Special thanks to: Troy (Evo_Lee) and my lovely wife for helping me screw those Regamasters on in the Autobacs carpark.... 2,000 yen saving! Cheers guys!!! :)

Justin,

congrats are getting the car sorted :( Good choice with the rims - the black wheels suit the car, it looks proper mean :P

Looking forward to going on some runs in the not too distant future ;)

Thanks Dave :rant:

I've just been talking to Kayo about driving out to your place... but I just can't convince her that Yamanashi isn't near downtown Tokyo! She seems to think that if we drive out there it's almost like driving to Tokyo, which she doesn't want to do until the Auto Salon!!! Any ideas on how I can convince her? We might be able to head over in the first few weeks of September btw.

Justin, time to head up to Rokko for a drive and see how she handles the twisties or up through Takarzuka :P...there is also a nice dam just past Sanda.

You working Saturday? I'll be heading down to AB 43 to buy a new turbo heat sheild I saw there last time, the one I have now is starting to rust away badly.

LOL...400ps is a nice figure for the street. I thought the old girl kept up pretty well on the Wangan last weekend. Or was it the fright I may have gave Kayo on the way home, I didn't think you were just in front when you said you were JUST in front (I was caught up at the last 2 set of lights by slow traffic). The mango shake was too tasty...and before I noticed the stove tops holding in the left lane I had already overshot...ekkk! The lane in front of me was clear from way back though.

Dave, Justin's Skyline is going into the workshop for some panel work and rust repair, so I think mid September would be the earliest.

Justin/Troy,

I'm back in England for the first couple of weeks in Sept, so it'll have to be after that. Yamanashi is a fair way from Tokyo - it's around 120KM from my place to Shinjuku...still it's a long journey for you guys coming from Osaka. I you can arrange to do some sight seeing - the Fuji five lakes, Fuji, the Skyline museum in Nagano and maybe the hankone skyline too, then it'd make the trip more worthwhile...

    • Thanks for all the replies! I also wanted to ask if wheels that were fitted on Ford Falcons would fit the 350GTs as well? In the area I'm at there aren't that many options for secondhand wheels and new ones here are way out of my budget. From what I've seen, most of the wheels that are available that were fitted on Ford Falcons have an offset of +33 to +36, with a centre bore of 70.5mm whereas the stock 350GT's ones are 66mm, can't seem to find any hubcentric rings that fit that difference though. 
    • 215/45/18 tyres are probably a little on the low side compared to the factory tyre, it should be closer to a 245/45/19, which will get you about an extra 11mm of height, and should make you speedo read a bit closer to reality. 245/45/19s will be a bit too far the other way and you risk a speeding ticket as your speedo might read slower than your actual speed.  245/40/19s would be correct if you are going to 19in rims, they will give you a similar total diameter to the 245/45/18 tyres.  
    • That's something I forgot to put in my list. The aggressive anti-squat in R32 is a f**king menace. I still need to decide if I'm going to drag the subframe out of my car and weld in the GKTech corrector kit. The main reason to dither is the need to switch to spherical joints in the lower arm to account for the twist induced in the rear pivot caused by lowering the front pivot. And yes...we do put better subframes in R32s, and I wish I'd gotten an S14 one instead of an A31 when I did the "take off and nuke it from orbit" HICAS delete all those years ago.
    • I have been looking at some setting on the alarms for the Q60 and what buttons do and so and also been looking for details on the alarm in my V37 which is a standard issue with the car. settings like window roll up and a few others seem to not work at all. i cant seem to find exact info on V37 alarms so Q60 is all i can really go off i have not tried 400Z alarm settings or info yet so that will be next. any one got like a sheet of info on the alarm system in the V37 as all my documents are in japanese but i thought the system would basically be like standard through similar models? 
    • I had a fuel smell coming from the drivers rear and pulled the tank out to inspect where it was coming from, turns out the breather hose from the tank to the filler neck was perished. I’m going to Japan next week and I’ll grab it while I’m there  pulled the oil tank apart and started cleaning this crap out of it, some brake cleaner and rags got it looking new again
