  1. get under the car, if they are black, look old and have wide springs they are probably stock. if they have thinner springs like shown on the teins they are aftermarket coilovers. if they have a threaded sleeve under the spring they are base height adjustable.
  2. same, lol. but for a 4dr 32, or R31 (ive heard they fit too)
  3. lol itll be a nice squeeze thats for sure.
  4. well first it's good to know exactly what's restricting lock. the steering rack only moves so far, the knuckles have a stopper which corresponds with a little tab on the LCA which stops lock, the tyres can foul against the chassis rails, and the knuckles start binding past a certain amount of steering angle. so first things first, u can put some steering rack spacers which allow the rack to move further. from here the knuckles will start to stop on the LCA's, so u will need to modify either the tab on the LCA, or the stopper on the knuckles. around the same time u will have issues with tyres fouling on the chassis rails depending on what tyres/wheels ur running. if the tyre is big enough and offset is high enough u will have issues. for example i scrub with 5mm rack spacers, 17x9 +24's with 235/45's. few things u can do to stop this, either go lower profile, thinner tyre, or lower offset. u can also go longer LCA's like R33 ones which push the wheel out a bit further. from there u will start experiencing binding issues on the standard knuckles, so then the next step is new knuckles or cut and shut ones. this can change things like ackerman angle, length of the knuckle, shape etc etc, which not only provides more lock, it reduces binding and changes the feel in the steering, as well as the turn ratio.
  5. lol clearance notes are awesome, ultimate slap in the face of the officer.
  6. haha i was wondering what those cops were after.
  7. would look sick, guards would need a roll, but run with something like a 235/40 would look mint.
  8. different size from front to rear.
  9. not if the overal rolling diametre is kept the same. look at the R35.
  10. haha have i met you before? sorry got a shocking memory.
  11. they are a cheap and nasty tyre that belong on korean cars. if you cant afford the tyre then you cant afford the rims. doesnt make a lot of sense to me to spend a lot of $$ on a sports car to put shit tyres on it and undo all of the manufacturers work.
  12. UPDATED TO WHAT'S NOW AVAILABLE.
  13. looking for a pair of 17" or 18" wheels, dont care what they look like or how scratched up they are, as long as they are straight and cheap. minimum 9" wide.
  14. edited to what's left.
  15. definately acceptable considering the circumstances (20" gestalts) lol
  16. real men drive on the deck, my 32's exhaust acted as a 5th leg for a while, the mounts acting like suspension haha
  17. Audi R8 futuristic design that sticks, may not be the best looking thing, but they've taken a fair chance and it hasnt fallen flat on it's face, which is a hell of an acheivement.
  18. if u go EMS it will take 6-9 days, but isnt cheap.
  19. looks the biz man.
  20. was a report for the new motorsport complex/hoon story lol
  21. jap auctions mate, remember cheap new wheels dont have anywhere near the same resale as more expensive 2nd hand wheels. u may think ur getting a better deal to begin with, but really if you buy TE's for $2k, and sell them for $1.8k, that's cheaper than spending 1.4k on new wheels, and selling them for $700.
  22. u forgot to mention "picks" of wheels that broke purely from hard cornering.
  23. yeh true.
  24. ive mentioned that at least 2 of those examples were from simply hard cornering, not hitting anything. suspected more but like i said, a lot of dead links where the original threads were.
