really depends on tyre size and camber mate, mine i was running 18x9.5 +12s all around with my LMGT4s and i used a 5mm spacer on the front to get them sitting a bit more flush. thats even with -2.5 camber on the front and -1.0 on the rear

tyres was 225/40 front and 235/40 rear

for those that havent already seen it, i've posted a thread about gathering numbers for a track day early 2010.

also:

is there anyone that knows of a RB26 being stripped in SA?

I'm DESPERATELY trying to find some breather hoses and PCV-valve for mine!!!

I refuse to wait >2 weeks for new ones from Nissan :laugh:

heeeeelp!

other wheel fetish oriented lads

You rang? :laugh:

Seriously for what you want, an 18 x 9 +30 would be perfect. Contrary to Dave's idea, the actual track will not change, as offset is a measure of the distance between the mounting face and the centerline of the wheel.

ie In both the 16 x 8 +30 and the 18 x 9 +30 cases, the mounting face is 30mm outwards from the centre of the wheel (where the measurement of track is taken from). There is just an extra half inch of wheel width either side (like you have mentioned).

As for tyre width, the 17 x 9 wheels I bought for my Chaser had 255s when I got them, and they were a perfect fit for the conservative look. No stretch, but no gumby looking tyre bulge either.

The correct tyre profile can be obtained from one of the many tyre calculators found on the net, by matching rolling diameter as close as possible to stock.

im gonna blame lack of sleep on any and all f**k ups i make. :laugh:

... already used that about 4 times this morning. ugh. stupid early starts.

Saw Paranormal Activity last night.

Such an epic movie. THey made it on a $15k budget, and did so f**king well.

I think it made $108 million in Southern California alone or something like that

fook, thats a pretty solid effort.

wasnt a tessa but fairly embarrasing i must say :laugh:

theres an example of 1 of the 348s prior to crash

still an italian built cockbox...eitherway. I wouldnt own one !!! after my not so impressive month of driving one !!!! even the F40,50 etc doesnt impress me

sure pretty fast but they build them like crap , pull off a few panels on one sometime,,, its full of contact glue, fit and finish is 1000% better on a lexus

cane them and they cost a fortune to repair, do that same in a jap car it still starts the next day..lol

2f2f "smoke em"

Nigal what does the pcv valve look like? I've got parts leaving japan soon and could have a look on thr auctions tonight for u.

screws/pushes into the rocker cover or inlet plenum depending on the car , the place the oil breather lines plugs into with the little rattle ball or slide of metal in it.

Well. Just got a little early xmas present from the mail man. Kakimoto Regu 06&R $876 delivered. Beautiful. Over $300 saving from JustJaps price delivered

i have the same exhaust. they sound and look soooooo good!!!

good choice Jarrad

    • Hey lads, reviving an old thread.  As an update, since the last time replied to this thread, ive done mostly suspension. Havent touched the motor except for maintenance. Though upon changing spark plugs, found out i had splitfires pre-installed! Updates: - Got me some stock airbox top cover and snorkel to fit onto the original intake. Should be free of defects - Bought a set of R34 GT-T brakes (not installed yet, going to rebuild + respray in champion blue + white 'Nissan' text) - Bought the last set of bilsteins from @Sydneykid and had them installed. Has been making some sounds on the rear but hopefully should be sorted out after this New Year break. - Regreased front caster rod bushings (poly bushes..) - Rear upper camber arms - Whiteline sway bars (BNF27Z 22mm + BNR11XXZ 24mm).  The rear sway bars are a bit short (ive read 50mm else where) but was still able to get them in.  Anyhows, I reckon suspension is sorted now. Maybe replace bushes (do have a set of front upper control arms from SK not installed yet) but should be okay for now. From now, I'm wanting to start working on the motor, drivetrain etc etc. Still debating on the order to go on and what to buy etc but: - ECU ( Haltech or Link ( Link states that it dont support A/T or AWD functions... Can anyone attest to this? ) - Highflow turbo ( ATR43ss2 ) - Intercooler ( Not decided yet, but cant find many good afoordable ones. Toshi says to opt for crossflow Japanese. Bit difficult this one, unless I get a returnflow Blitz from JJ? ) - Injectors ( Any recommendations ? I do have a nismo FPR ( Thanks SK ) ) - Seats - Tune by either Toshi or DVS To be fair, I did consider just keeping the stock turbo and nistuning it. Sat in a mates stock N, that had something like 200kw, and I reckon that felt more than enough. Maybe I should just go this route ahhaha. Too many choices.... Planning a trip down south, so wanting to just clean things up and make sure it gets to and from in one piece. Anything else specifically I should do before ? Cheers lads  
    • Must be for the car’s lucky charm 🤷🏽‍♂️ She runs fine, but it just seems to take about 1L less. Maybe I’ll have the oil sump dropped at some point to check if there is anything 
    • Hmmm interesting. Mine is the exact same and clearly the right one.  The mystery of the engine oil being full after 3.5-4L continues 
    • Yes I as well would like to find out where I could get some of the seat material with the red or blue small squares in it
