like my joke, but not as funny.

btw to give u an idea of what modified knuckles give u, here's an entry with NP wonder knuckles on a R32

yeh i lost lock when i went to R33 LCA's, couldnt figure out why, then realised its simply because my 32 lock stops had taken such a beating they were dented in a good 4mm giving me extra lock lol

lol, just lol

homicide actually, of a perfectly good r32. but its ur car.

no ADR approved brands, but stick with a urethane bush and u should be right (regardless of the adjustability in the rod), afaik rose joints are technically legal if not the grease nipple type, and i have got through with rose joints before, but chances are they will fail u for them still.

yes.

if i wanted a R id buy one, to the dismay of most GTR drivers, not everyone wants their car. if i included labour i wouldnt be too far off what ive spent on my 32 to what a stock 34 GTR would set me back, and certainly by the time im done ill get at least to that point, probably past it.

btw legality legschmality, drive what u want, get defected, get cleared, drive more. f**king playing the game, ull come away with a red sphincter either way.

but if ur overly worried about police u shouldnt be driving a skyline in the first place.

^^first pic is f**king mint

yes. just like every day i also recommend illegal coilovers, illegal suspension arms and illegal engine modifications, bit like 90% of SAU now that i think about it.

i made a statement that the ADR's didnt carry any merit of their own (them doing individual testing themselves), you said that was true, from this we deduce that you think that ADR's are based off them doing their own testing.

because as we all know, money buys smarts. let us all bow down to the owners of expensive cars and their immense wealth of knowledge. (not a dig at R35 owners, a dig at idiots who think driving an expensive car gives their opinion any more credibility, which clearly some fan boys think)

looks like shit regardless.

no you just said that they weren't based off manufacturers, which made me think it was based off their own tests, that would mean they would have to test it all themselves and engineer every single possible combination. if not, then afaik my statement still stands that they carry no merit of their own, they are just guidelines based of standards given by other sources. i think people should look at what the evidence is before making their decisions, if people really want to stretch, then they can look at the others that drive/drift/race on stretched tyres and they can make their decision based off that, i have, and i am yet to find a case of a tyre popping off the bead with mild stretch besides crashing or hitting something, therefore i made the educated decision that stretching was fine. if people arent willing to take the "risk" themselves then good for them, but expect to be greeted with opposition if you suggest it's unsafe without any real evidence.

wow, that will be f**king epic.

fair enough, so engineers in Aus have tested every single tyre size on every single wheel combination to determine what's safe and what's not?

also even if he doesnt get done for too wide, they will do him for protruding tyre, if a officer can look down the guard from directly above, and see tyre tread, then apparently it's illegal, or at least in police's eyes. the biggest issue with this is police struggle to grasp the difference between tread, sidewall, and rim.

just to correct here, standard gts-t is 16x6.5 (+40 if relevant), so even less lee-way.

each to their own, there are reasons why manufacturers only recommend around 3 sizes for 1 wheel size, mainly because there is no reason to do otherwise. 3 sizes is a big enough window, and there is absolutely no reason for tyre manufacturers to widen the window, as low as the risk may be. and ADR's are simply based off manufacturers recommendation, they carry zero merit on their own. and for the record, everyone does things to their cars every day to make them look and sound better that make their cars illegal, wheel fitment is no different, it's just some dont get it, but that's the beauty of styling, everyone has different taste. some times u just have to accept that you dont like the styling, but many others do, just like you may like the styling of ur car, but many others dont. also for the record, although this is kind of off-topic in this situation, stretch can be used to firm up the sidewall of tyres that dont have the reinforcement that high end performance tyres do. a good example is im currently supplied neuton tyres from my sponsor to drift on, now they are a cheap tyre, and yes ideally i'd like to run high end tyres, but when ur chewing through a pair every few sessions then it's just not ecconomically viable at my level, so what i will be doing is getting rid of my 17x9's on the rear in chase of some 17x10's, but keep the same 235/45 tyre, this will stretch the tyre more and give me more feel, yes the unsprung weight will go up, but with the added feel, and minimised deformation of the soft sidewalls, it's worth it.

police like wheels sticking out of guards yes. if ur overly worried about police then dont do it.

true, but u'll find generally people going outside the boundaries of whats recommended understand that. tyres very rarely pop off the bead for no reason, and it's no different with stretched tyres, ull find only the ridiculously stretched tyres ever come off simply under additional load.

best u can do is play around with 2nd hand scraps of different sizes until u find out how big u can go, then just buy a tyre in that size. as far as HSD's, when ur talking bottom of the line suspension they are good in comparison to other stuff of it's class, seems the BC stuff has been all the rave recently tho, and a good mate of mine reckons they are decent based off some research, so id be inclined to believe him. although tbh, i never really recommend anything that cheap for cars like ours, it's just all too low quality imo
