you are, offset is very different to width.

for example James Vahoumis S14.5 has 40mm overfenders on the rear, his wheels hang out of the guards, with something like a -15 offset, but they are only 10s on the rear.

having dish, and hanging out of a guard doesnt always correlate to wheel width.

You picked .5" by eye, based only on the fact that they hung out of the guards too much?

C'mon, they could have just as easily been +17, then they would have been 10" instead of 10.5.

on another note, seems strange that the rears are +24 (104.6mm from wheel outer edge) and fronts -10 (120.25 from wheel outer edge). Would make more sense if it was the other way around - giving much greater dish on the rears than the fronts. (edit: as per pic above)

if u read the above post u'll find that the front offset comes to -10 im GUESSING after the 40mm spacers, hence they would be 30+ offset which yes would make much more sense...im just regurgitating what i was given...when did i ever say i based the fact they were larger because they hung out of the gaurds? :S

... and i very much doubt they are 10" and 9"...with that amount of wide body im sure there bigger...

thats where, offset will determine how much dish, not spacers. If you look at the wheels, the rears have more dish than the fronts, therefore, given they are the same wheel, it would be logical to assume that the rears are the -10, not the fronts - regardless of how much spacer there is.

by saying "with that amount of wide body im sure there bigger" i was refering that it could handle much more offset and hence bigger wheels...ie. not put some pizza cutters on with huge negative offset...

and i agree with u on the offset looking weird, but this is what wiplsh himself told me...with the front offset im sure he meant the offset came to -10 once the spacer was put on...because yes there would be a ridiculous amount of dish if it was -10 on a 9" wheel...

"I think i got the offset written around the right way."...he may possibly have written it around the wrong way lol

      Can't you put the pistons to TDC and then do the valve seals? Or will the drop down too far to pull them back up?

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      One thing I can tell you is, do it properly the first time. If you encounter unexpected problems just let the car sit for a week or two if you have to get some other parts or figure stuff out.  I'd have said go and use as many OEM parts as possible but since you want to change the turbo later on a custom kit is probably the better choice. Since I have no experience with RB25 just compare parts diagrams and images before buying a line kit and it should be easy to see if it has everything you need. Amayama has very good parts diagrams and part number lists, that is what I used a bunch to figure out what I might need. And don't forget to plan ahead and possibly renew other stuff that's easy to get to while you're in there doing the turbo lines. Happy wrenching

      Update 4:   Hi all, good news. Engine is running and all the gaskets and seals seem to be working as intended. No leaks so far, even the JB Weld seems to hold. I flushed out the old coolant a few times and put in fresh coolant, not Nissan stuff, I decided to try the Ravenol Protect FL22, they claim it works for a wide variety of JDM cars and the opinions on it by some people were pretty good. And it has the nice poison green color! And man am I glad I bought a coolant system tester earlier this year, vacuum filling works wonders on this engine. I can definitely recommend this to anyone still doing it the old school way. All you need is compressed air supply. Will have to do a small test drive as soon as I can, I removed the gauge cluster again as the tacho needle was still bouncing around a bit but it was much better than before already.  I also found some cracks on all 4 tires inner and outer sidewalls. Apparently these tires should 't be parked on for extended periods or be kept under 0 degrees during storage, which I did not know. Clearly the previous owner didn't look into those details either, he probably bought them just cause they are cool semi-slicks. I'm just wondering how tf I am supposed to reach 30-80 degree tire temperatures on the public road consistenly, these tires were never going to work for my use case. I'll probably order Continental SportContact7 ones as these are the best allround summer tire available right now and I don't think I'll need anything crazier for now. Do let me know if you have experience with various tires and which ones you recommend.

      Not going to pretend I didn't do a bit of junky work this time around, but mostly due to the fact that some things I am not willing to spend days fixing right now, like wiring. I try to do most things properly the first time around.
