I hope everyone had a great Christmas!

In addition to drinking my body weight in fine German beer, I got to let the old girl stretch her legs with two great drives:

First drive from my sister's place to my parents' on Christmas Eve: Link.

This route I did along with my uncle in his Mk5 Golf R32. It did take us about 6 hours, but that was with about an hour lunch stop. The R32 lost me for a section on glorious when it was wet, but in the dry I could keep up and on good surfaces I could eat him up. He was quite impressed with the 'old datsun'.

On the way home (boxing day) I went this way: Link.

I was on my own this time, and it took about 3 hours (no stops). Unfortunately it started pissing down rain as I approached nebo and it was foggy as hell, so this was a very slow section. But otherwise, another top drive.

All lives, vehicles, and licences remain intact, and most of the cargo as well (there were a couple of casualties though :D). And best of all - no traffic! Sif take the highway.

    • Define "Nissan big brakes". You just mean standard R34 4 pots? And...it's not even the offset you need to worry about. It's really a detail of how much clearance there is between the caliper and the back of the spoke/face, which is affected more by the design of the spoke than it is by the offset. If you think about it....take any wheel, say a 19x8 that does fit and clears the caliper. Then add or subtract an inch of wheel on the outside, without changing anything else. You have changed the offset by half an inch, but not changed the clearance situation at all. Same for if you add or subtract an inch from the inside edge. The way for you to work this out is to take a wheel off the car, grab a straight edge and a ruler or two, and start to measure the distances from the wheel mounting face on the hub to the outer face of the caliper, and the outer diameter (that faces the barrel of the wheel) of the caliper. Armed with these dimensions and any other measurement that grabs your fancy while you are there, you can then go to the seller of the wheels and do the reverse measurements from the wheel's mounting face and see if there will be clearance to the caliper. There really should be. I have 17x8 RPF1s +35 clearing the caliper face by a finger tip. Those wheels do have pretty thin spokes with some curvature.... but then so do most wheels to suit Jap cars.
    • So I’ve got a r34 sedan that I managed to get green stickered, meaning I need to go through government approved wof station for my car to be allowed back on the road for some reason my car is certed for 19x8 rims.. I need these wheels  does anyone know what offset will be fine to clear Nissan big brakes? I saw 35et for sale near me, I can’t drive the car to test fit or risk being fined ..   I searched heaps online couldn’t find anywhere..
