was waiting for your car to pop up blags... :(

joeyjoe did your rear wheels go straight on ? whats the size again and you dont have to run any camber?

not bolt on... i refuse to run camber as the car has 323rwkw

i'm runing 18x9.5 +25 w 245/40/18 nitto NT05's

the camber is set to be flat on WOT, cant remember the exact numbers

guards had to be flared

Does anyone here with these "fitments" actually track their cars?

and by track I dont mean drift?

Its all very well bagging out people with safe / conservative offsets..but if you are jumping ripple strips having a bee's dick of clearance to the guards and 10deg neg camber just isnt going to work, nor is having a 215 tyre streched onto a 10" wide rim.

*awaits all the "hella flush" fan boys to say OMFG your car is so shit you have +22 offsets on an 8" rim with 235 tyres, you should get 50mm spacers and 185s!!12131!!ty*

when mines finished i will and not just drift.

17x9.5 225 stretch, having bee's dick clearance on neg1 on rear all the way through suspension travel. and neg2 up front which i believe are realistic numbers.

camber and stretch is not wheel fitment. you have to think realisticly when doing it, running something stupid like neg4 or something on the rears just to tuck em is retarded. however when you look at it / \ is baller lOL, but not practical

wheel fitment is rim size, tyre size, ride height, wheel alignment, guard work. the propper hella flush cars are defiantly not what you have described above, majority are show cars and yes some are impractical, however search up fatlace and see that he drives his s14 hard with fitment.

and one thing fitment isn't is SPACERS.

couldn't have said it better!

How is that progressing BTW?

Agreed with Dave, lotsa guys think epic stance is about stretching skinny tyres on dished wheels with camber and suspension height dialled down stupid low.

    • I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it
    • If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣
    • I would agree, unless you need something specific to the HV motor/battery side repaired or investigated, any mechanic will be able to perform normal services, but if you prefer, maybe look for a mechanic who regularly services/repairs Nissans, the VQ engines are pretty common in the Nissan lineup.  Sorry, I can't make any suggestions, I don't live in Vic.
    • Some of them keep working fine. 9 out of 10 of them end up causing an absolute misery bleeding the system and get thrown on the workshop floor in a tantrum and never thought about again because they were never really needed and just added crap to the car that we could have done without. Same-same with HICAS, A-LSD, and various other stupidities that over eager 10x engineers thought we had to have.
    • Not required but appreciated. Super Coppermix Twin even the non-competition model feels like the pedal is noticeably heavier than stock which was pretty well judged IMO. I'll be swapping in the Nismo operating cylinder soon to see how that feels.  Personally I haven't felt anything that justifies replacing the damping loop, at least compared to more modern stuff where the clutch delay valve is actually quite noticeable.
