Well It has been a while since I have done anything to the car... however due to some unforeseen circumstances my rims have buckled from the pure awesomeness of being ROTA's lol. hahaha

So Now I have been hunting for the last 3 days on what rims I should get and I have settled on

18x10.5x+15 f1 silver Enkei Rpf1 I can get them to my door for 1530... however my only concern is the stretch of a 265 onto the 10.5" rim.

I can get a 18x9.5+15 for about 100 dollars less which I know the tyre will fit and look a little more chunky on but im still not 100% on that factor.

I had 265s stretched on 10" wide but next 10.5" rims so any ideas or advice boys?

just an example of 10.5" with 265s. I know I will have to get my guards rolled as Colin kindly discussed with me last night.

who are you getting the rims through?

might be interested in a set

Hey mate, I have scratch the plan so far lol.

it was $1578.00 after conversion and even after that It was about $250.00 in govt fees blood bastards so pushed it all up to $1850.00

So far my current price for them through a importer is $1650.00 to my door that's it so seems to be the best out of the lot.

It is through street to track just google them and youll get the address.

Got them for 1650 to my door from the US and it only took 1 week delivery which I am very impressed with :D

Now I am 3 months away from the lip.

I found some more pics of the lip I am getting on a MNP 33 GTR.

I am also currently looking at spending some coinage hahaha I am currently going through a job change and my old job (BCC) are paying me out 100 hours of holiday pay so yay for me :D hahahaha

Have been looking at coilovers I have requested a price on a set of Tein Super Streets but unsure what they are like. I have found a second hand set of HR Teins but again unsure what they would be like driving wise as I dont want to much more of piggy to drive every day of the week lol.

I have also been thinking of what I should do to push my GTR to 500hp, I am pretty sure I am not that far off... custom front pipe Twin 3" to single 4" collector fake cat in place for it to be plausible to coppers and allow more flow... Z32 AFMs or debating selling the power fc and just going the wolf depending on what price I can get it for, then I should be nicely able to push it to 500hp :D I am still requiring a new clutch aswell the old 1 is still holding up from low rpm to the high rpm apart from 4th gear.

Don't get super streets, I have them on my mate's supra and my r32 gtr and on both cars they are way to soft and the tires will hit the guards unless it's jack up heaps. I have Tein Mono Flex on my R33 GTR and my other mate has them on his R34 GTR and they are absolutely perfect 8kg/mm on front and 7kg/mm rear, they are perfect balance between street and track I highly recommended them.

Here are my Mono flex they have dual height adjustment these are off my Street/Track R33 GTR Fr:8kg/mm R:7kg/mm

And these are the super street which have minimal height adjustment these are off my Drag R32 GTR Fr:5kg/mm R:4kg/mm

Ahhh really? very nice. Yeah I have been weighting up all the costs etc... a few people have been suggesting the SS but few others suggesting other brands. aswell.

Have you heard or used the Tein HRs?

Hey mate. Give my tuner a call. He is a Tein dealer and nows how to set them up very well. Number is 54993932 and is located in Morayfield. I also operate an auto elec shop next door to him if you ever need anything.

So after getting sick of my hicas playing up I decided lock the bitch out! .

Following the how to guide still took me forever to get it right hahahahaha it was a bitch getting the old 1 out.

I also got a better pic showing the offset of the new rims.

    • The autos suck. Anyone with an auto wants to go manual. Also, the one thing you don't really need to change is the dash. You don't really need to know (on the dash) what gear position you have selected. What you do have to change is the tailshaft, a bunch of wiring, probably gearbox crossmember, a bunch of fiddly shit like the spigot bearing in the back end of the crank, find a flex plate and a converter, etc. A whole lot of pain. Most of those autos have been rightfully put into metal recycling bins, so they're not exactly easy to find either.
    • Appreciate it man, gives me hope based on my Google searches on availability of GTR parts.  When you say I'm "not going to," is this in the vein of "who on earth would want auto," or more "it's impossible?" Not trying to be rude, truly don't understand haha. I know, it'd be a madman move to go manny to auto, but if it IS my only option, I'd be curious on the lift.
    • Where's the other half?
    • Shit's f**ked. Looks like there might be a crack to the intake valve seat on the opposite side of the chamber also. Defo pull the whole thing down. Nothing good can come from just doing the head on a motor with comp figures that low anyway. You'll hate yourself less in the long run.
    • Well hit the first larger snag in the build!    Car wasn’t running 100% right even before I took it for a drive, starting slow and felt like a bit of a miss so compression tested it once I got it into the garage and on stands for the winter.   That would do it…   Got to tearing everything out and was greeted with this   Seat looks a little mangled but somehow the cylinder is fine   Will check the turbine next wonder if the piece made its way in there and chewed up some fins.    Once I survey the extent of the head damage I’m going to have to make a decision. Cylinder 4 is kind of low anyway so might not be a bad idea to take a peek at the bottom end while I’m already in it
