Have a look at tire rack benny i just ordered a set of 275/30/19 Advan AD08 got em for $1500 delievered should be here next week.

Now just waitin for the wheels to rock up

[Nur33]

Yeah i all ready sent them an email Kingy getting the Advan Neova AD08's for the R32 and i'm gonna get them New Hankook Ventus R-S3 285/35R18 for the R33 as they don't make the ad08's in a 35 profile in 285's, mackay roads are to shit house for 30 profiles. They give these new Hankook's a good wrap they are a 7.8 and the AD08's are 8.4 on tire rack so i'll give them ago, slightly cheaper aswell.

Hankooks

Advans

Rolled my guards today, Hopefully wont have to flare when I correct the camber

[KING87]

Lookin good cal.

Fair bit of lip on those rears

You roll the guard yourself or someone do it for ya?

[Nur33]

Hey cal

Is that factory camber settings and what size tire you running you should be able to run 265 very easily

[89CAL]

Yeah I borrowed a guard roller and did them myself, turned out pretty good I thought, didnt crack any paint... Not bad for a first try haha

They are 265/35 rears, factory arms etc. Just lowered a little bit, probably an inch maybe slightly more.

Still tossing up between rear camber arms or just camber correction bushes, will have to decide and take it in for a wheel alignment sometime soon

Think the camber at the front isnt to bad so not sure if ill bother adjusting front camber

[Nur33]

Yeah adjustable arms are nice to have, but if yours is a everyday driver i would go with camber correction bushes because aftermarket arm have pillow ball ends (rose joints) and depending on what brand u buy they tend to flog out a fair bit especially mackay roads. I nearly have the full ikeya formula catalogue on my gtr, they are awesome bits a gear but cost you a arm and a leg...if only i had a spare 2k for front and rear lower adjustable roll centre kits...you wanna sponser me kingy lol

[KING87]

I got a full time job sponsering my own lol...

You would not believe what i got quoted for a light globe at autobarn yesterday... $345 and have to order it in gotta be kidding me...

Is there anywhere in town that sell HID globes off the shelf??

[Nur33]

Try some of the auto electrical places like southern cross if not try ebay kingy is ya best bet

[KING87]

Yeah i done the rounds today only place i could find that stock HID were ashdowns in paget but they didn't have the right one. and were 180 per globe lol

Got a pair off ebay for 110 from melbourne. Hope its the right one so many to pick from.

was anyone else blown away that its still raining!!!!! i should have bought a speed boat

[PM-R33]

Yeah been raining here in Townsville non stop aswell. f**king annoying. Havn't washed my car in 3 weeks!

[89CAL]

Eh..... Getting sick of dodging potholes I know that much

[89CAL]

So I had to roll the front guards on my car today, thought they werent an issue but chewed a bit of tyre turning into a driveway the other night lol so decided to fix it today.

Hopefully all good, didnt do much damage just put a very small dint where one of the screws from the drivers side inner guard hit the other part of the guard but oh well. Not a bad job and it was free

[Robi33]

Deadset over this weather. Apparently they expect it to be like this until the start of June.

[89CAL]

No proper pothole repairs till the sun comes out.... Said in the paper they will only do patch ups till they can re-lay road when the suns out

Which is annoying, but fair enough I guess

[Nur33]

Ah well there's no really hurry then to get my GTR going then if these potholes and f**ked roads are gonna hang around.

[89CAL]

Wheels are about to go in the pocket trader. If anyone wants them, or knows anyone that might want some 19's for there car (PCD 114.3 5 stud etc etc ) then let me know

[89CAL]

Bored, Thought I'd put photos of my first car up seen as I got a bit nostalgic posting a photo of the engine bay in Bens build thread haha

And what it decided to do on my 18th birthday:

Aftermarket lifters are a no-go in RB30E's
