I mang in the office mang. Bashing head against keyboard styles :)

@Colin: I may be able to drive the GT-R to willowbank for the drags for ya :D

I also mang it up in the office.

A mang is... well webster's dictionary defines it as...

umm...

It's a cool word though mang

Gramlight 57d got those fluoro colours and they're pretty affordable.

gramlights affordable? ;)

With the R33 I'd be going for a 5 or 6 spoke rim. LMGT4, TE37, GTCs or go for mesh rims like BBS LMs or Work VS-XX

In other news the unit now has power :) Only phone n internets to sort out now. Win.

Yes. Not all Gramlight but the specific design I'm suggesting. The 57d were quoted by Streeter

Gram Light 57D 18" x 9.5J +12 22,910yen eachRough costs on that would be something like this...

Cost of item ¥91,640

Ship item to me ¥0

Bank fee to pay seller ¥630

My commission ¥7,000

Removing 4 tyres ¥0

Shipping to Aus via Sea assuming 13 kg ¥31,200

* (I could be off with the weight but what ever it costs to send Ill

pass on to you)

ROUGH TOTAL in Yen: ¥130,470

ROUGH TOTAL: $1,875

Comparing to

TE37 in 18" x 10.5J +22 52390yen each

*this quote is based on sea post, they are over max size so there is

a change they might have to be sent by EMS.

Rough costs on that would be something like this...

Cost of item ¥209,560

Ship item to me ¥0

Bank fee to pay seller ¥630

My commission ¥14,000

Removing 4 tyres ¥0

Shipping to Aus via Sea assuming 12 kg x4 ¥29,800

* (I could be off with the weight but what ever it costs to send Ill

pass on to you)

ROUGH TOTAL in Yen: ¥253,990

ROUGH TOTAL: $3,649

*depending on exchange rate. current rate is 72.9

These would be a lot cheaper with the current exchange rate sitting around 85?

I got told today theres a high chance of me heading up to site either in Jan or Feb.... WOOOOOooooo COILOVER HERE I COME!

Dudeman why dont u just get a job on a mine site and then you can earn sweet moneys ?

Nah dw Martin I think it's probably better my car doesn't go the drags. The noises the gearbox is making atm are pretty disgusting. Another thing on the list for while its off the road.

Yeah but those gramlights are pretty gay. If you're going to have them you have to have the 57 Pros.

What site?

All the arse rape puts me off working in the mines.

I wanna know the design part of things rather than operational for starters. And I'll need the commission experience if I wanna go down the path I'm planning.

    • Depends how low and tyre size. Should fit with natural camber, skinny tyres and rolled guards.
    • Hi guys, planning to get 18x9 +25 in fronts and 18x10 +25 in rears been reading the whole thread and cant really find anything   Anyone know if these will fit a r34 gtt with no scrubbing or guard work needed?
    • They usually get made by hand as part of any such swap.
    • Was planning on getting an R35 MAF and the adapter, should this be okay? Also any idea where I could get my hands on an intake pipe?
    • I mean yes, if you're starting from scratch on an unknown engine yes you don't need to be doing all kinds of math in the background but if you're doing relatively minor changes like AFM + injectors + boost up with some aftermarket turbos it takes quite a bit of math if you want to do something like maintain OEM fuel + timing tables but compressed and then a bit more load scale up top. I think I've spent too much time working on big engineering nightmares though so I'm a big fan of trying to constrain the scope of whatever work I'm doing as much as possible and trying to get it right before moving on. For example, a local owner just did the usual E85 + single turbo conversion to his R32 GTR and nearly burned his car to the ground doing some spirited driving up the local mountains. Turbine is unshielded and too close to the hood insulation. It's tough to balance "just get the project done" and "seemingly small details can cause massive setbacks I'm not willing to deal with".
