my blonde moment today: (i feel so dumb)

Yesterday driving home from work i started smelling this plastic burning smell from my car when i was nearly home - and i thought it might of been just some kinda toxic fire in the area or something so i got home opened up the bonnet - no smell - that was cool - i walk round to the rear of my car and it was fairly strong but im thinking couldnt be much to catch alight round there so i cant be that must be the smell in the area.

Get inside and mum goes "whats that look on ya face" and i say "smell something funny coming from my car like a plastic smell is it the car or the area" - "its the area today she said" So i didnt think anymore about it.

Get in my car today get to pretty much the same point i started smelling it last time and smell it again - get to orrong rd and it is really bad and i figure out its the car. Anyway theres a light patch shining on my passengers side dash and i saw like heatwaves coming up from it so im like "oh my god maybe its my stereo equipment wires or something and because its coming from the rear of the car could be the battery" I had my sub put in my ZX by a mate and you need special wires of the battery otherwise it could catch fire which i eventually got done but im thinking maybe it wasnt transferred into my skyline and its wired wrong or something.

So anyway where i used to work is about 5mins away - car dealership. So i drive there - noone done the back in the workshop so i run barefoot to the service advisor "jason my car has an electrical burning smell" jason goes" Todd (electrical n import expert) is in Terry (sevice managers) office go see him" So i burst into Terrys office not knowing at the time that Todd was giving in his resignation and Todd goes "ok then i'll be there in a minute"

So i go back down the back and i get closer to the car and i see this white thing hanging from the exhaust. This whole deal was just a plastic bag that got stuck to my exhaust! I felt so dumb!! Why didnt i think of that?!!!

    • I was just driving into work and while on my drive, I went to accelerate and noticed the car would sputter/hesitate and I’d hear a few pops from the exhaust before it started going faster. Then I also noticed that when I push my clutch in, the car would die. This all started happening today. Any ideas?
    • That is a lovely Volvo, just saying. Yes I should have got an 260RS when they were cheap. I do regret now.
    • ^ lots of good points made above. The thing is, "aggressive" or "flush" fitment is relative depending on how much you have been influenced by social media. My starting point is always "look at the Nismo RWD specs". That is where you should start, then start measuring as GTSBoy as sort of mentioned, because every car will be slightly different. My 8.5"+35/9.5+38 will not be "flush" enough for you because you want more "pumped" look, which is why you measure. Tyre sizes and brand/models also make a difference. Some tyres are more chunky/square, some are more rounded. That means you could get away with more aggressive offsets without rubbing. But then it also depends on your ride height. Also depends on how much your car copped damage before being shipped from Japan. So it goes back to measuring your car yourself and determining what can work. Those Nismo specs are used bacause it's a safe spec for standard car (suspension. body) with chunky tyres. But then I put 265/35 wide tyres on R34 GT-R wheels, and currently run 285/30 tyres on 18x10 wheels.
    • Sounds pretty awesome. I recommend creating a new build thread and posting all your goodness in there.
