got a flat today and realised something that never crossed my mind... The bloody M35 space saver wheel does not fit over 350Z brembos! haha very frustrating...

easy fix.....take a rear wheel off put it on the from and the spacer can go on the back....lol....I am pretty sure I have the same problem :(

you guys got space saver wheels ?

ARX eh ? you got cheaped!

What a rip.. i got a 5th alloy with my stockies.. and left that in the boot. sure atessa is going to hate me but hey if its to get me home,

a 17 with a 235 is going to be better than a cheese cutter space saver :down:

although i rememeber reading some dudes taking it to extremes and getting their missus to drive them over 4 spares and changing the lot lol.

That's interesting, I wouldn't have thought there would be room in the wheel well for something much bigger than a space saver

Me neither, unless of course the underfloor storage was removed.

mine has no underfloor storage.. so that explains why theres just a rim sitting there lol

on a bad note , smashed a lm4 rim hard this morning.. on a drain.. hadnt even moved the car 1 foot and took a 1cm chunk out of lip and tyre.. not happy!.. turned the front wheels and reversed straight into it not realising i was next to the drain..and all nice smooth angled curb around it.. no F*&%^#$ room out the front of my house with 4 cars out there and only 1 carport.

arghh.. not having a good day. :P

did go to mtq and get a new actuator for the r33's turbo and took andy's old 100k turbo in and dropped it off for a tear down.

thanks for that andy showed up this morning..and the spacer , champ

If you kerb another one mate, you might have to ban yourself from driving the Stag :P .

I just don't park close to suspect gutters anymore, even a parking fine is cheaper than a wheel repair...

My missus is obsessed with doing it, anyone would think they give out prizes for getting the closest! I chip her about it all the time...

yeah was first thing in the morning.. jumped in it to move it from out the front and bang..straight into it.. only got myself to blame for parking so close really.. but yeah going to have to start being alot more carefull.

you know those days when you just shouldnt have gotten out of bed and everything wouldve been cool!

too late , ive already banned myself , its going in the shed and staying there. :P

*headbutts brick wall*

It's okay Kier, they're only cheapy rims :P

    • 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:
