  1. I have seen these thanks, but they do not suit my needs The main problem I have with wheels for my car is with the wider front end and that stagea's have 50mm less track on the front than the back, to fill the front with any standard sort of offset and 8 inch rims, I need to run spacers which I currently have on the front. I have 25mm spacers now with 18x9 +30 rims so that brings the offset back to +5. It is pretty hard to buy a 1 piece rim with a +5 or 0 offset. So that is why I am chasing a 2/3 piece rim and build them the way I need them so I do not have to run spacers and keep it semi legal. Also with a wider 25mm offset on the front I have to make sure i do not end with more dish on the front than the rear so that would just look wrong. If I do go with GT-c's, J-imports have the a pair of rears in 18x9 +25 face 2 type C disk 73mm rim $1500. So I just need to buy a matching new front pair in +5 type A disk which have the same 73mm rim. When I originally bought the R34 rims I also bought a set of 18x8 +30 GT-c's in silver at the same time. To be honest they looked like crap with low offset, not much rim/dish and in silver. It is a shame I can not try so the different wheels on the car. It is a big expense to buy new rims and decide they do not suit. I like the idea of the GTS as not many people have them, but the design of the spoke with the extra bracing on the back of the spoke annoys me.
  2. Blits bodykits on the gold coast have the mould to make one. Approx $450 Pretty good quality. I would not recomend the others sell them in Adelaide. Make sure you read this thread http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Fr...ml&hl=blits
  3. www.j-imports.com.au Havs a pair of fronts $2350
  4. Have been considering these as well Rays GTS in gunmetal. 18x9 +1 type A fronts 18x9 +23 type C rears Both have a huge outer 100mm rim. . .nice GT-c's would be 18x9 +5 type A Face 2 fronts 18x9 +25 type C Face 2 rears 73mm of rim or 18x9 +12 type A Face 1 fronts 18x9 +35 type C Face 1 rears 80mm of rim
  5. Can someone reminder me what a m35 stagea looks like Round -> Square. . . .hmmm Give it a go, should only cost approx $5-8K aust. to see if it looks any good or not. Photoshop someone. . . . .
  6. I have just purchased a full fitment kit for a gt3076r IW The spacer plate will only be needed if using a standard cast manifold Since yoo have a external gate, you have to use an aftermarket manifold. As previously asked, what make manifold have you got? Have you trail fitted the turbo to it to see if it hits the new manifold? If you need long bolts, the only place I found was GCG. $36 set with nuts.
  7. If you still have the mag, you must be getting old like me It mad 6 different mags and 13 trophies from 7 shows I think I will order the GT-c's tomorrow Sick of looking around and deciding Probably 18x9, as 19's only come in either 8.5 or 9.5 and the offsets do not really suit my needs.
  8. I am supprised it is still there with having a Buy it now price Too many tight arse stagea owners around
  9. I spotted this on Yahoo auctions. Anyone wanting to do a manual conversion will need this. Very hard to find in complete condition start price 25000yen, approx $325 Buy now 35000yen $455 Cheapest option to buy this would be thru Nengun auctions At buy it now price will be approx $650 landed These new can cost double this. You have 4 days, good luck http://page13.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/r58647583
  10. This is the car I get my colour scheme inspiration from This was my second car I owned back in 1992-1994. 2 years of solid hard build time. I wish I never sold it.
  11. There has been some discussion in the forced section about these injectors
  12. Enjoy it for one more weekend. I have Monday (rdo) off work so will probably park it and strip the front end. I have 3 guys on here chasing me for the turbo and exhaust. Will strip the engine bay ready to paint and fit new turbo etc over next 3-4 weeks At some time need to drop the rear subframe and clean it up as well. Has a little too much rust starting. Need to make my mind up on new wheels or not. If I go the Rays they are are a 6-8 weeks wait Was thinking maybe going ROH modena 3 peice. Made in Australia to order, but take 12-13 weeks. Here is a set on wrx, crap offset, need alot more dish. Plus they are approx $1000 cheaper than the Rays GT-c's They do not come in gold, so will need to pull them apart and paint them.
  13. All sorted High beam plugged straight on the back of the bulb holder and had to re wire the zenon's Was not too hard once I actually had a look
  14. I removed my ABS unit and all the lines in the engine to paint it. Reinstalled them and bleed all 4 corners of the car as per normal. Had no problems
  15. Do not forget the supercheap pod filter so it sounds fast and also the fluffy dice and a NISMO sticker.
  16. That looks hot! The stagea looks ok as well. Might see you this weekend at Jambo. What is the first mod?
  17. $4.5K in parts plus head lights just for the front end. Plus paint and DIY fitting.
  18. Thanks for all the comments guys I actually measured the clearance height on the front diffuser. 75-80mm The first short drive I did on Saturday in it, only 3 k's from home, an undercover VE silver wagon checked me out for a fair while. Luckly they did not pull me over. They probably thought, that is a nice Volvo!
  19. I always see the positive side to a negative Blown diff + Upgrade I love upgrades
  20. Hey Micah this is a long shot. There could possibly be a rock wedged in the rear end somewhere since we did drive on some wet gravel roads for a few K''s today. It does sound a bit worst than that but sometimes it is the simple things that cause problems.
  21. Probably Gold Rays GT-c's. That should make it stand out just a bit more Currently running 25mm spacers on the fronts to fill the guards, so they are 18x9 +5 If I go the rays I can order the right offsets and play with disk type to get the same dish front and rear and that way I do not have to run spacers on the front. Just need to find the $4K minus the gtr rims sale price and wait 8 weeks for them Ended up witth Sydneykid bilsteins with extra grooves, F & R king springs. The skirts make the car look alot lower than it is. Under the sill on the body they are 170-175mm. Rear wheel arch is 330-340mm.Can not go any lower on the rear, shock platform hits the tyres. The fronts cannot go any lower as the platform hits the suspension arm. The front diffuser is approx 80-90mm of the ground. As RBstagea mentioned, it does look better in the flesh. The coulor is very hard to photograph for a novoice like me. Today JustDave photography took some pic's, so will see what they look like. Part of the cruise today they ripped up approx 2-3ks of road. It was wet gravel. Not happy after spemding so much time getting it clean. Tried to clean it at the servo before these pic's were taken. Still have the hood lining and boot trims to go in and the recaro's to put in. Then some time the new turbo and other bits still to go.
  22. I got it finished enough to drive it on the SCC day Did approx150k's with no problems A few pics of it back togather
  23. Well I have car back togather enough to drive it. Did approx 30k's in it today The exterior is complete except for the roof rails. Ran out of time to finish painting them. I had a small engine oil leak which turned into a big one after driving it. I think I have found the problem. This afternoon I had to strip the top of the motor and remove the inlet cam cover. It looks like the half moon rubber at the back was leaking. Reassembled it with some sealant. Just now drove the car around the block a few time and it seems OK. Will check it out again in the morning. Plan is still to go onto the QLD skyline cruise tomorrow. Have to go now, need to finish putting the backseat in for the kids.
  24. I would have a some more pics if my wife did not drop the digital SLR and bend the lense. Picking up a new lense today
  25. PM sent I need your contact details Where in Brisbane is the car?
