looks ok... if not a lil dodgy. Does the power warrant the width of the wheels....? Or is it just for the looks?

Vote for more pics of the cedric.

its looks

its a 225/40 tire on a 10 inch wide wheel lol

sheesh you two have a history or something...?

iwouldnt mind running 9's all round on mine but not at the expense of doing that to my guard....

im THAT guy that does the stupid shit like make a stagea RWD just to drift

put rediculous sized wheels

etc etc etc

oh all that sacreligious stuff eh? hey man i reckon drifting a stagea would be excellent... isnt Unique1's car a RWD now? (he was prbably under a different username alst time you were on here).

225 on a 10" wheel... you hang out with the bosozoku boys much?

Welcome to AustFAILia yokotas13... imagine Florida but without the good bits

SAU is pretty much the worst afflicted of all Australian forums but most are similar.

On this forum there are a few rules

NO STRETCH

NO GUARD (fender) ROLLING

NO SUB-OBTIMAL SUSPENSION GEOMETRY

NO STIFF SPRINGS

NO SPACERS

NO FUN

Basically this forum is the youngest batch of old men you will ever meet. They will modify their cars for only performance but label anyone who attempts to use that peformance an irresponsible idiot.

As far as wheel fitment goes. In Australia toilets have half-flush (to save water) and when people here talk about flushness. They get confused by their toilet.

Unfortunately the only people less interested in fun than SAU are the Australian Police, so there is some justification for their boringness.

If bullshit was music, you pair of yanks would rate as a 63 piece fcuking orchestra.

You are currently in a country that has the most imbecillic attitude towards automotive safety than any other, you originate from the nation that has without a doubt the biggest reputation for the most badly designed, evil handling pieces of crap ever to grace tarmac, and yet you come on to an AUSTRALIAN forum to tell us what is appropriate for our cars and our roads?

Hubris much?

You make a down syndrome epileptic with severe autism look intelligent you complete and utter assclown

wait

lets not generalize here

I knwo guys in australia, on here and other ofurms, doing the same thing i do on my cars, on cimas, silvias, skylines etc etc etc with no problems in australia

and american cars are shit, except for a few of hte newer ones that are catering to the driver more. (saturn turbo vert is sex)

regardless, its only hte stag forum that is anal on wheels being 2 inches inside the fenders i like the forum, i learn shit randomly

Also from this thread you will have witnessed the casual Australian attitude and willingness to laugh at ourselves.

Apologies... old women too :(

It isn't that bad, as you can see by my join date and post count I have been here and enjoyed it a long time. But judging by the reaction I think people here take themselves a little too seriously. I am back in Australia now and it is amazing how uptight Aussies are, quite contrary to our international reputation.

you guys need to chillax. Its personal preferance. Whats the point of having 30 ppl with the same car following the same set of rules? Otherwise why mod? Show some individualism... half of us have a stagea simply cos its something different - thats the main reason i got one.

Go for it yokotas, it looks pretty cool. Wouldnt do it to mine, but thats just me. If i thought i could get away with it, maybe. (i was looking at flared guards just earlier haha).

Laurence? go eat a d1ck. I bought the car to drive it. Not butcher it. I doubt that every single mod thats gonna end up on my car will be 100% legal, but im not going to flaunt the ones that arent. We all have different balues and tastes. Obviously we dont share yours... one day you might just have to accept that and err you know... get over it.

Ahaha they took you hook line and sinker mate.

Each to his own hey.. Grant likes fitment, others like legal. Telling people to eat dicks all day long isn't going to get anyone anywhere. There's too many fags in this country as it is...

I like your new wheels Grant.

you offically suck.........

because you didnt put "cefiro" in that list. lol

im running 18x10+11 on pumped cefiro guards which is no mean feat. but then again im a kiwi. hehehe.

carry on..........

I think it all boils down to " form over function " - Grant might prefer going for a certain look despite the fact it means mods that some of us would rather do without ( like very limited suspension travel etc )

while others dont really GAF what things look like just as long as they do the job that was intended.

Personally I am not a fan of strectched tyres.. but what ever cranks your handle you know?

the thing is I wonder around a track what would go better.. a car like Grants or a stag with a bit of suspension mods and running standard wheels and tyres..

and .. remember the analogy between arguing on the internet and mental retardation everyone..

i can call that one!

ME

mainly becuase this car is a missle

what is a missle you ask?

missle- A car i dont care about becuase its an extra so i am taking it to the track and not giving a rats ass if it gets smashed

so yeah, im gonna say i will be faster

i gotta say i didnt think much of your attitude in the beginning Grant, but u seem alright, i can understand u are going for the vip look and i love it, i think the wheels are abit extreme width wise and sticking out the gaurds but thats your choice and definately looks better than the usual 18x7' +40 on most stageas i see (including my own lol) so good on ya.

I dont like those style of rims at all, i much prefered the Work Emotion xd9's u had before. Can u post some more pics of them on the car, preferably a good sized set of pics so i can see the fitment. Im looking at work emotion cr kai at moment or rays re30s or something similiar and looking for the most aggressive offsets i can without sticking out the gaurds too much :rofl:

Also whoever said my car is rwd only is incorrect its 4wd but i often remove the front shaft for fun and am gonna leave it rwd now for a while until i decide on what gearbox i wanna upgrade too.

good luck Grant i wanna see pics of the ground clearance under the car as well if u can, i doubt u have much hehe :)

    • IMG_8641.mov     She doesn’t sound the best but starts with out using any gas now. I just ran some injector cleaner through her. started roughly the first time after adding it but gave it the beans slowly upto 4k, Must have cleaned a few cobwebs out. another step in the right direction for the sub
    • Sadly I can confirm if you are actually seeking to drift, you will quite easily spin up one wheel. Even if you're going in a straight line. I am not entirely sure of the metrics/terminology here but there's only a certain amount that the helical will actually spin both wheels. I've seen it on video with my own car where two lines of smoke switch over to just one after you really get in to it. Unlike with a clutch diff where you can keep your foot planted until the car regains grip, in my experience with the helical you want to be utilizing traction control allowing LIMITED slip or lifting (partially) when you start to spin up both tyres with a Nissan helical. Which makes them pretty sub optimal for drifting duty. That said... this is probably a helical on numbers alone. Just put the Kazz in
    • Let's just fix the problem by f**king the rest of the gearbox.
    • Unlikely, as per Greg's post. This is not helical diff behaviour unless one wheel is up off the ground. Shimming what? You don't "shim" a mechanical LSD. Probably not in the sense that you have heard of people "shimming" a diff. And the process that Nissan f**kwits call "shimming" a diff involves super-preloading a VLSD cartridge against the side of the diff to create a friction/wear point (in a place that it wasn't supposed to have one) to make the sloppy, useless, viscous diff into a hybrid viscous/mech abortion. In case it isn't clear, I consider the process to be stupid. Nike.
    • How much does the shifter move when the car is in gear with the engine off? If it is more than about 1cm you need to replace your shifter bush. Your shifts will just get crunchier, not faster, with a short shifter unless you also rebuild the whole box
