I'm not up to speed on what's required, so the JJR hubs fully replace the existing hubs, track doesn't change etc?

$550 for the kit isn't cheap, the wheels would have to be crazy cheap to compensate, could just as easily spend couple hundred more on the 4 stud rims than I planned and still be ahead and no stuffing with rotors... hmmm

But this opens up the wheel market, one set of rims doesnt... http://justjap.com/store/product.php?produ...=269&page=1

Stay away from the JJR hubs! They break! I wouldnt touch them with a 10ft pole...and you want to run semis on them! NO WAY!!

It depends how picky you want to be with rims...there are plenty of 4 stud rims around in decent widths and offsets. GMAX, Koya etc etc.

IMO its easier to go 5 stud and then throw on some GTR offset rims ie 32,3 GTR wheels which are plentiful.

You need:

S14,5 front hubs and knuckles

S14,5,R33 LCAs, OR retain your S13 LCA and fit a S14,5 or R33 ball joint

S14,5,R32,3 rear hub assemblies with handbrake cables, upgrade to drum handbrake while youre at it too, use R32,3 rear discs

Its a fair list but all the parts can be had for way less than 800 if youre cunning about it.

Its all boltup and you can do it yourself, the only thing you need to mod are the coilovers.

Then while youre at it throw in a complete R33 brake system for insane braking power.

Point taken.... some of the Koya rims IE drift tek are multi stud, so would suit 4/5 stud pre/post conversion... So new set of drift teks would be similar money as second hand jap rims without the risk of buying damaged and repaired wheels...

I was talking about suitable offsets etc in another thread and Nisskid said to steer clear of the Koya's. I know a new set can be had for around the 1300 odd dollar mark. the offsets are super awesome though, +34 in the 8" wide if I recall. Would be a touch less inner clearance but if it needed a spacer at the front it would be a tiny one I think.. Hard to tell clearance to the shock when the car is off the ground, even when jacking the wheel back up.

Need a pit!

yeah they are known to buckle over ripple strips, so not ideal track wheels.

spend some money and get the good quality stuff from a well known brand

someone is selling some Enkeis in the for sale section 8s front 9s rear if i remember correctly

Don't have the time or extra money, I need rims on the car before the 21st of September

Is it a done thing and SAFE to get 5 stud rims drilled?

I know a guy who has got Veilside Andrew Evolutions 5 Stud wheels and it has been Re-Drilled as a 4 Stud on his 180SX.

He drives the car around with them on.

He took it to Easternates this year and they seem fine, not sure if he did a wheel change and used other wheels tho...

You best check with your mechanic and local Wheel and Tire places.

BUT, just found out they're made in the Philippines

      Cleaning my wheels 😍

      Yeah, my moulds and seals are 32 years old now. I think I will continue to not use a pressure washer on it.

      I hear the old "I'd never use a pressure washer on my motorbike" BS in the dirtbike community too.  The only people that have had a problem from using a pressure washer on anything are the people that aren't using them properly.  If you hold the wand any more than 45 cms away from pretty much anything (radiators, wiring connectors, paint, etc) you aren't going to cause any damage.  We've had detailers wreck moulds and seals on cars at work before and the only reason why is they held the pressure washer too close and on the one spot for too long.  If you have 5% more brain power than a detailer then you know not to not do that and you'll never have a problem.

      I'm pretty much healed up post surgery so I spent another almost full day out in the shed re-arranging everything to make room for all of the shit that I've taken off the car.  I need to get everything off the floor and away from the car for when I start making a massive mess stripping off the remaining body deadener and then for the the painting process.  Almost got the shed to a point now where I feel I can actually start working on the car again (clean shed clean mind or something!).  Almost 11 years of accumulated car parts, building supplies, tools, junk, etc have taken a long time to get in some sort of order again!  Most stuff is now boxed up and in the back shed if it's not car related.  Most people would still be horrified walking into my shed but it's significantly better than it was before!   For those that saw my separate post the other day, yeah I ordered one.... This version- I convinced myself to stop being a clown, wake up to yourself and realise it will take you 5 weeks to make one by which stage you're over working on the car again...  Maybe I am getting on top of my "mental ailments" and making smarter choices.... $1450 delivered which will take my miserable half-dutch arse a few days to get over having spent that much!  If I don't have a use for it straight away after my car is off it I might even see if there is a "rental market" for them.  See if anyone wants to hire it for a period of time.  $25 a week or something like that.  I'll worry about that when my car is actually ready to come off it though as that might be a while away!! There's now no excuses now for not ending up with an underside you could eat off! Away for kids sport the next few weekends so hopefully can get the rotisserie assembled ready to go for the car to go straight on it the next available weekend.

      I always use my Karcher, but it's only a little one that I picked up from Supercheap  The only issue I ever had with a pressure washer was when I was a kid cleaning coaches, they had a hi-po industrial sized petrol jobbie that would strip paint if you got to close I saying this, we have a fairly high power washer at work with a diesel powered heater that sprays water at about 60°c, it works great for removing old wax and road grime on the underbody after some foam cannon action, albeit from a "stand off" distance of a few feet

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Sorry no - The sandtrap adventure ended the day, happened at the end of the last session. At that time I wasn't hearing any weird noises nor were the brakes shuddering anymore. It was only when watching the videos that I remembered I had these sounds early on!
