yeh driveways are fkn bullshit i got the roll gutters around here and i still scrape on my driveway but meh.. it'll survive my paint work is shit anyway

blags why u gettin rid of ur wheels!

this is why I'm going anti fibreglass and reverting everything back to urethane and metal, for the flex when dumped :)

ah ok cool :)

I kinda want less spokes anyways, after having rims with shit loads of spokes i really cbf with them want something easy to clean.

Also like the look of say 5-6 spokes love te37 and GT-C's prob my 2 favorite, work meisters are also nice. Any other suggestions? You guys seem to know your shit about rims..

Have been thinking about what you guys said the other day.

Current plan:

- Sell ZX for as close to $6k as I can get

- Buy daily for $3k

- Sell Supra for as close to $16k as I can get

- Buy MR2 in Victoria. Modify it until I'm happy. No matter how long it takes or how much it costs

Does that sound like the way to go?

Might have to drop the price on the ZX again... It won't even sell for $6k. The market is f*cked now. I just want it gone though.

Finally you are thinking :)

sounds like the best revision of your plan so far. sensible at least, you've got a car you're passionate about and a decent car to drive around in.

word of advice, spend more on a newer daily that's prone to less faults/breakdowns. esp if you plan to build your MR2 slowly.

True that.

Cheers man :( That's a good list. I'll have a look on carsales now.

Do you know any dealers that would let me trade in my ZX? Would be so much easier than trying to sell to all these boyracers with no money.

Dealers will give you f**k all for the 300ZX.

Best sell it in a private sale and when you put your add up to sell it, just say "No time wasters / boyracers / shit kickers".

Simple.

You tried going up your driveway on an angle / sideways?

just drove down to have a look at those 19s at import monster.. fell in love with the GT-C's at first sight.. where else can i compare prices for them?

Ppl would say Jesse streeter, but I have confidence in Aaron.

Local Aussie business and I'd support him.

You get to see the wheels there and then / inspect them for as along as you want.

Just browse the For Sale section, if you want to compare.

yeah will do mate :)

who / what is Jesse streeter?

on another note, will 19 x 9.5" +11 and 19 x 9.5" +21 sit good on a 33 GTR? different offset is ok as long as tyre size is the same yeh?

oh and jezza i would go a honda civic as a daily :( just make it black and green neons, get a motec system exhaust etc..

Jesse Streeter is a guy who lives in Japan and works out of his basement sending goods at good prices, from what I have been told...

I'd stick to 18" wheels with the R33 GTR.

But that is just me tho.

Cheaper on tyres.

With the R34 GTR I still would stick to 18" but you can get away with 19"...

yeah 10" +18 sits flush on an R33 GTSt that's lowered. 10.5 +15 is nice on an R33 GTR

Also NO. It's not OK as long as the tyres are the same. the same overall diameter of the wheel (tyre + rim) must be the same front and back with about 1% tolerance.

    • Got the motor out and torn down. I'll be dropping off the block Monday. Luckily the scoring on Cyl6 is much less pronounced then the pictures made it out to seem. It can barely be felt. If you pass your finger over it 10x you'll barely notice it. Hopefully by some chance it will only require a honing. I'm not in the mood to buy one size larger pistons or another block. Oddly enough my 6th cylinder with the scoring has extremely clean intake valves compared to my other 5 cylinders. I'm worried the scoring was caused by too much fuel or Water/Methanol washing the cylinder. I'll review some old logs to confirm.  This was also the first time I pull an engine with the transmission still attached. It went much better then expected. I was worried my CD009 wouldn't make it easy due to its sheer size but it was much easier this way. 
    • From the pictures I have when doing the job the flywheel is the same diameter, I don't think they're playing weird tricks like putting weights at the outer diameter to increase flywheel inertia or anything like that. The OEM flywheel is definitely heavier, but it's not a huge difference. Quoted weight savings of the clutch is 2 kg so I can't imagine the flywheel being lighter than ~7 kg. Kind of regret not weighing it before the clutch went into the car but as far as driveability goes I have no complaints.
    • HKS trigger kit should be very easy to integrate with a Link. It's a 36-2 crank trigger. Hard part is finding the motivation to take off the timing belt and everything on the front of the engine to install it. You also need to cut out a hole in the oil pump housing so the sensor can read the trigger wheel. Changing out the cam sensor for a 24 tooth setup is probably good enough but as others have mentioned depending on what underlying assumptions are changed it becomes more of a problem. Reading the crank state off of the cam is an abstraction that works in the general case, but if you have an edge case it makes less and less sense. There is a GTX2860 gen 2 that can take a compact 5 bolt housing so it's direct bolt on but I'm not 100% sure of what's involved. Peak compressor efficiency drops off a bit on these turbos vs -5s, 77% vs 73% but you get way, way wider region of operation. The -5s have a really strange surge line in their compressor map that is all over the place. If you think the hot side on the -5s aren't open enough you can try the Tomei T550B turbos which a local tuner seems to be happy with:
