What Have You Done To Your Stagea Lately?

I'm actually hoping they poke out a bit, just to get a nice stance. Are the rear guards wider?

Yes, and as you lower; they tuck in (negative camber) much tighter than the front. With a roll on the guard lip I'd say the rear is 15-20mm wider.

Yep, and the rears can be rolled a bit, the fronts are already rolled. Those sizes will stick out about 10-15mm I think, possibly more than 19 inch tyre stretch will help with but you wont know until you put them on. I would suggest test fitting them before you buy.

I know my 17x9 drifteks are perfect at +30 with a 255 with tyre but with 19 inch I couldn't tell you.

Do anybody make an adjustable upper arm to solve the neg camber issue?

So if they are sitting flush the +22 should look ok. :)

hoping some one on here has a rim somewhat like I'm looking at...

Who else has 19's and what are the size/offset you are running :)

Cheers.

Plenty of different stuff available for 350Z/ G35 in the US (think Ichiba,etc), but going that way will actually REDUCE the wheel to guard clearance.

Maybe shoot spoolin12 a PM, I'm sure his offsets must be close to this after the fitment of his Akebono Brake setup, due to the required spacers to clear the calipers.

looks like it...my spare looks the same.

:thanks: I wasnt too worried, given thats how it looked when it came out, just curious :)

if it sealed completely i dont think it would idle lol

for sure, no air = no go! But I thought if it was designed to be closed when turned off, then 'idle' would have the motor opening it ever so slightly - possibly the amount you see on the pictures - maybe more!

You may find that once it it being controlled by the ecu, it actually pulls closed. Most throttle bodies have an air bypass port to control idle, and the butterfly seals completely.

yeah spoolin has 19x9.5 +40 with a 12mm spacer so effectively a +28 offset... but they do stick out a bit - he has stretched tyres and they dont scrub.

but talk to him about tyre wear. with that width and offset you cant take out much of the camber or they will scrub the guards, so tyres wont last long.

Went a bit overboard on eBay today, picked up my slimline fan ready for the front mount intercooler, and ended up getting a Nismo dash after putting in an offer... Bit sad, but ah well!

Also picked up a Repco equivalent cabin air filter. Got the carbon one for $25.80 trade. They were out of Ryco ones and I figure this would be fine.

Going in tomorrow with the runner spacer (finally!).

Took the car for a thrash through the hills... man there are some idiot drivers up there, but makes me even more excited for the sway bars! :rofl:

I was checking out that Nismo......wont work on my car though unless I change my tyre size

Why's that? Just be out?

My stock speedo is already out around 10%, so doesn't bother me heaps. Will get it calibrated when I get new wheels.

    • Well I had 2 choices from then on. I either had to (reluctantly) move it on to another potential buyer and take the loss on the chin. Or I stick with it and turn it into a restoration project. I chose the latter. Project Snowstorm began! The frp body kit was the first thing to go. Turns out the original colour used to be silver. The Neo and gearbox were removed, along with the prop and exhaust system before it took a trip to the bodyshop, where I wouldn’t see it again for quite some time due to the pandemic hitting very soon after they took it away. Eventually, progress began and damage assessments made. Even the front chassis leg was in pretty bad shape!     Then the chopping commenced. For these guys it was just usual routine, to me it looked absolutely terrifying!   More to follow as I’m struggling to focus on my screen at 12:45 am!!!
    • That's the most absurd thing I've ever heard. I would go cut bellhousing over that monstrosity of a flywheel all day, every day. It puts a lot more mass further from the last main bearing. I've had nothing but problems with Collins in the past and refuse to ever buy their products again. I would not trust anything they tell you. He's playing his salesman card.  I'm currently at 640whp on a mustang dyno (~770bhp) with the intentions of running E85 and a lot more power this upcoming spring. Cheers, 
    • Nah, it's not the reduced knock margin. It is a direct mechanical effect of having to initiate the combustion earlier, while the piston is still rising, which starts to exert combustion pressure on the rising piston earlier, making the rest of the engine work harder to finish driving the piston up to TDC where the combustion pressure stops being a negative and starts being a positive. Your modern engine that only needs ~10° to make MBT doesn't waste the other 10 or so degrees of crank rotation. That's almost all of it. The difference in knock margin might go either way. Remember that modern engines to which you are currently comparing the long tractor engine (the RB) are now running super high compression, direct injection, tricky cam control and maybe even cylinder pressure sensors. You're not comparing apples with other fruit. It's apples and sea weed, or some other evolutionarily primitive vegetation. And remember, squish only really comes into play at the very end of the stroke. It certainly does good things, but it is not the biggest contributor to what's going on. It is quite possibly much less important in 4 valve head than 2 valvers also, because there is so much less squish available to a 4 valve anyway.
    • Food for thought, a longer stroke motor would need less ignition timing vs. a shorter stroke motor requiring more ignition timing.
    • Thanks Duncan, HART is only 10 mins from me (I did my bike license there), it'd be awesome if it ran these types of things.  Sutton Road does look good and they take fewer cars than SMSP which is good.  Surely you have enough land to lay a few million tonnes of concrete and some sprinklers D?
