er... dood... that's anything but low...

i would say that is just the perspective of the photo as i was trying to get a pic of how the new rubber sat etc. as such it makes the car look quite high as you are looking up into the arches

see my garage pics for normal perspective http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/index.php?app=garage&do=view_image&id=3397

basically you can get your pinky finger in between the top of the tyre n the wheel arch- just

nonethless, horses for courses. I get alot of people commenting how low my car is. To other people its only low if the rims are up under the guards... (i.e. see my other garage pics with the series 1 spoiler n drift suspension)

;)

it's still not that low... it's clearly below stock heaight, but it aint slammed

my point is that you cant run your car at that height and say that people can have low with 275's on a 9.5" +36 rim without flaring your guards or heaps of camber. if anyone tries to slam their car with those specs they will run into trouble.

i run my car lower than yours and had to pull my guards to fit 9.5+25 with a 245/40

exactly. One persons low is another person's stilts.

Worth clarifying in people's minds before they get in and assume a give rim/offset/tyre will fit...

:thumbsup: exactly

Wheel: Lenso/Raiden D1R (Project D)

Skyline model = 1994 R33 GTST

Wheel diameter = 18"

Wheel width = 8.5" Front, 9.0" rear

Wheel offset = +35 Front, +32 Rear

Tyre size = 245/40ZR18 Front 265/35ZR18 Rear

Modifications to fit = Roll Guards

Want to correct the camber a bit so may need to do something with the guards if I do that

Folks:

All this offset stuff messes with my poor old head...

I have an R33 GTS-T at the stock height.

I'm looking at some old Rays GT2s in 17" x 8.0" all round, with +33 offset.

No troubles with those? Any other thoughts?

Thanks!

the only useful thought i could provide is look for something better sized. Not saying go grab some 10" wide phat ass wheels but at least an 8/8.5 F and a 9/9.5 R gives you some more tread to work with AND looks 11bty timesbetter.

if you need any help with size/offsets for that let us know. :thumbsup:

as a general rule if you are running wider rubber its always worth rolling your guards at some point you'll likely lower the car too and it will be relevant then so for $50 or so a corner its a good investment to roll ya guards out the way cos if you dont and ya munch your guard cost ya more than $200 to fix it :thumbsup:

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
