I still dont understand the fascination with stupendous amounts of camber and the oversized rubbers that hit the guards

somehow its cool to have your bowels forced into your lungs when u drive around with shithouse offsets and low profile rubbers

ffs we're in australia here, kiss your $2000 rubbers goodbye every 6 months with that much camber and the potholes

-D

you need to change tyre shops then

well i figure, why by shit rubber if u drive a decent car? Im running stock 16's and my toyo t1r's come in around $880 odd for the rubbers

when i factor in the price increase for 18" rubbers >if< i was gonna get 18's, and the rubbers are pretty decent like the goodyear eagle f1 assymetric, it comes out to damn near $2k sure u can shop around but still, you go up two inches in rim diameter and be paying like twice as much

-D

i bought 18inch bridgestone potenza's 80% tread in top condition a number of times for $180 each. Very good tyres and they last ages from Used Tyre mart. I could afford to buy brand spankin new tyres but I dont see the point in spending $2000 for tyres that just wear out anyway.

nice and cheap if u got the connections but most of us peons have to go to a tyre place and have them balanced, fitted and aligned... not all of us are mechanics

who ever is paying 2k for 18" tyres that arent high end R compound tyres or something is getting raped.

ur getting raped too lol

but that comes complementary with every purchase at used tyre mart.

lol nissdik, I wondered how long it would be before the dribble started again......having said that, I don't mind a bit of sarcasm from mates .

You must be a very little man with a 10ft tall keyboard......can't wait to get acquainted!

I got Brand spanking new Bridgestone Potenza RE001 rubber for my line for....$209 fitted and balanced

235/45/R17's for $209 and no you dont need connections to get a bargain, and i rate the RE001 very very highly as to the amount of grip they offer on these Adelaide roads, very impressed with the tyre performance.....and I am no mechanic either

So $180 for 18's with 80% tread left sounds fairly decent price too ryan

    • -9s are discontinued supposedly. But you can still get Nismo R3 turbos which are something like a -7 but subtly different? -7s are also available. HKS GTIII-SS and GTIII-2530 are also available but they're journal bearing MHI turbos.
    • Late to this party but here is your go to shop in perth - https://www.facebook.com/gsautoworksau GTSBOY is on the money cost wise, drive in and out will cost you 15-30k or more.    Some items that will save you money  - plug in link ecu g4x is much cheaper than haltech.   -Pulsar turbo, seem to be "OK" now, never used one myself You really don't have to build the motor, E85, headgasket, studs and a good RB26 will live for ever.    Swapping over the twins won't save much as you still need ecu, tune, fuel system etc.          
    • Welcome back to the scene! Godzilla Motorsports were well regarded back in the day.  My GT-R had work done there prior to my ownership.   SRS (Street Race Solutions) in Toowoomba worth a look.  They've built some pretty wild Skylines. Their YouTube channel is comedic to watch!  I'm sure they're all on the glass BBQ but they get shit done! 🤣
    • Hard to say what the extra connector is, it looks a bit like a coax type connector, so possibly a separate radio/GPS antenna, or even another camera input?  The V37 series (including the Q50), did go through a model refresh in 2020, since Australia didn't get any Q50s newer than 2019, we didn't get any of the refreshed models, so there could also be other unexpected problems to overcome to swap an older Q50 head unit into a new model V37. There probably aren't too many people around that have made these sorts of changes to a Q50/V37, so you might end up being the first if you do decide to go ahead. ACP is Apple Car Play and AA is Android Auto, they are roughly the same thing for the 2 major phone operating systems (Apple's iOS and Android), it allows you to connect your phone and access a number of your phone applications on your car system.  With Nav apps included, so you could use google maps/Waze or whatever your favourite navigation app is, instead of using the built in navi system.  I think this would be a better solution if it is only Navigation that you are looking as swapping the head unit for. GPS signals are the same around the globe as the GPS satellites continuously circle the globe, but it is the head unit that doesn't allow you to load Australian maps, or at least no-one had made an Australian map that will load up on the JDM head unit. Regarding the TV standards, I assume you are referring to the AV inputs?  I haven't ever tried to use them, Japan used a slightly modified version of the US NTSC system, and Australia uses PAL for composite video, that said, I wouldn't be surprised if a video input could work with either system.  That is mostly irrelevant here though, unless you plan to use those inputs for something?
    • If you've got bucket loads of $. Go single. If not, just upgrade the twins, Garrett -9's or whatever the current equivalent is for a healthy 350awkw and leave it at that. Will probably still cost you 10k to do in this day and age.
