THIS IS NOT FOR A SKYLINE:

I need to borrow 4 rims and tires for a Mitsubishi Lancer. The ones that came with the car put the track off by 20mm, and also didnt have the right load rating (only 500kg not 530).

I borrowed a set off a mate of mine, but they didn't pass either, the rolling diameter was out... (They were 70s i need 65s).

This is what i am after, either to borrow stock MR lancer mags (most idea option but they must be the STOCK ones, and have the correct tire width and height), or else the specific ones on the tire placard:

185/65R14's with a load rating no less than 86 (530kg), and a speed rating of no less than H. The rim size is 5.5J.

Please get back to me asap if can help me out. THANKS!

Any one? Need to sort this out by the end of this week!

Yeah, tis a bit of a bitch, no wreckers have them, nor ezy scrap. I wish i knew some one with one, but dont atm...

The ones i borrowed from a mate had the 70's not 65's so didnt pass...

Looks like we may have to buy 4 crap cheap arse tires for this.....

Ended up buying some second hand ones with bout 90% tread for $55 a corner. bit better than $71-75 for the cheapest new ones.... Will have to do, and when we can afford it, will get nicer rims and tires for the car again.

Pack it with foam or some shit haha

I was told to put some metal flyscreen gauze stuff in the pipe somewhere where it can't be seen by inspectors and that should help muffle it more.

Just DON'T Flogggg the Carp out of it !

yes I said carp. :thumbsup: Here fishy fishy fishy...

The metal flyscreening is best and as long as dont flog it then it will not be an issue, and it is easy to clean out and remove after.

The other thing you can use is the big loop sturdy steel wool. We used that stuff in our motorbike at home for years so as not to piss off the neighbours when we road it around the yard as kids.

Heya everyone!

So I had a preemptive check done on my car for rego.

Got the over 9000 window tint removed but now I need a set of stock r34 wheels with good tread (apparently my wheels are too wide) and a stock exhaust or a quieter cannon I could buy off someone.

If anyone wants to help me out I can repay you with you favorite beverage or swing a few spendoolies your way.

So glad I got a week long permit and not just a day long one.

Wicked! I'm just going to see tomorrow if an exhaust shop can just chuck a resonator in my current system because I know one has been taken out but if I can't get that done in time...

Hey guys,

did not even notice this thread!

Does anyone have a stock or quiet catback exhaust for an R32 GTS/GTST that me and my dad could borrow for his car to pass roadworthy? We tried the steel wool trick and it still failed :down:

Cheers!

Hey all, I had some stock wheels sorted but the guy will be away on my days off (tomorrow and thursday) Does anyone happen to have a set of stock r34 rims they could swap for mine while i get my rego check?

cheers,

Andy B

Hey guys does anyone have a torque wrench I can borrow on the weekend? Me and dad are swapping the whole from suspension/hub assembly on his 32 and looking at the service manual we're gonna need a torque wrench lol.

Cheers,

Drew

    • They see me rollin' they hatin'....... Took me most of the day to make the necessary mods to the mounts to make them fit the car.  Fortunately I was able to just use the mounts that came with the rotisserie. The rear ones are really secure, the front I feel i might reinforce a bit more as it doesn't seem like enough attachment to the vehicle. I'm sure it's fine but better to be safe than (extremely...) sorry.  I drilled and tapped thread into additional M12 holes to each car mount where it attaches to the rotisserie as an extra fail-safe. Without them the side to side movement is just restricted by the allen head pinch bolts, nothing actually goes though the beam. Does now! I still need to adjust the rotisserie to get the car centred in terms of centre of gravity. If it's too high or too low relative to the rotational centre line of the car, it will be like a turtle and roll onto its back or as it currently sits, I dont think I'd be able to rotate it as it sits as it needs to lift the whole car up as it rotates. Ain't happening... I'm going to be nervous as hell the first time I go to spin it on its side...    
    • Oh yes done this when the window started flopping around.  Turns out the guides that run along the rail chanel had crumbed way. Took off the door card and pulled out the window mech, then the window, which you have to pull out through the top. As said unbolt the guide rail and don't spend 30 minutes getting frustrated trying to find a way to slide it out upwards cause that don't frigging work. Drop it down and out through the door hole. All I did to repair it was slice some 10mm clear plastic tube, vertically, then screw it to the guide rail both sides. This tubing rolls inward on both sides and leaves a gap wide enough to hold the window. To finish all I did was lube the plastic tube with olive oil and Bob's your uncle . . . well if he has the operation he can be your Aunt ! !  10 bucks in plastic tube and another 5 minute job done again . . . . YEH BULLSH#T ! My love for Skylines knows no bounds !
    • So was there a solution to this problem? I’m having this issue now. 
    • not expensive, just irreplaceable if you don't go sub 60 at wakie in that thing people will start talking
    • I haven't replaced that, but I have had the doors apart on the r32 a couple of times The door skin will be held on by a combination of clips and bolts, just take it slowly and make sure all the sneaky hidden bolts are out Once the skin is off you should be able to pop that piece off pretty easily, looks like there are only 2 bolts holding it on
