Hi all. Just checking in. One hell of a night shift, just cleared out my workshop for household rubbish collection, no food since yesterday sometime and no sleep.

Getting slightly edgy.

Oh, did I mention no Skyline to take on a relaxing Sunday drive, because my alarm is playing up, and I can't drive it until the entire system is ripped out and replaced?

The Hilux is just not the same, so I am here deep relaxing breathing...

Yes, false alarm last night. The noise was my incredible neighbour who came over to see if I was OK. He checked out the entire yard, and stayed until my husband got home.

And then stayed for a couple of hours to dismantle alarm.

At the time I didn't know it was him, just heard noises. Only found out it was him when my husband came to the door with him.

At one point a police car came down the street at high speed with sirens going. I thought Yay, I'm saved! but they didn't stop, even when they must have seen my alarm going off. A few minutes later the police helicopter came over.

My neighbour also told us that the night before someone had disconnected their power in their meter box, so now I am a little worried.

But after all of that my baby is safe, and nothing on earth could start her now, so a thief wouldn't have a chance if they came tonight.

Note to myself, try not to be so cowardly when someone is messing with my baby!

    • 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.
