you need to remove the daily part from this thread... it may as well be a dedicated track nugget, hasn't seen a public road almost all year! :P

Yeah well one day ill get it moved to the Motorsport section as its certainly something i enjoy doing and will be doing a lot more!

that nulon thing seems interesting, but ive done next to nothing to stand out this year and well without 11ty billion KW time attack will make me look bad

Yeah it looks interesting, my aim is for 2015 anyway but if this happened to come up then it would be a good bit of fun! :)

Got an answer out of Mat for the size offsets of his Work XT7s if anyone else is interested.

F - 18 x 8.5 +32

R - 18 x 9.5 +38

Lol about bloody time he says :P

I have had so many people ask me and its only now i have finally checked haha... Thanks for posting it up as a reminder ;)

hmm no wonder you can fit them 285 under the guard you have that extra 8mm.My 275 are like 5mm away from the guard with the struct loaded.

I measured the 275 Hankook RS3 vs the 265 Hankook Z221 yesterday just for interest.

Hankook RS3 275 = roughly 275mm

Hankook Z221 265 = roughly 280mm

Was only done with a tape measure so it wasn't accurate but you can see side by side the Z221 is a bigger tyre!

is it a semi if i it is i was also told by a tyre sho that semis are always wider than they say. Had 255 RSR federals and were same size as my Michelin PS2 265.

Yep semis...

ive got a semi thinkin about semi's

will probs buy myself some 10" rears soon to run some awesome 295's :D

Put up a DIY thread if you do as 275 seems to be the limit for my guards even with the rolling... I assume you could pump the rear guards but i have never tried this...

No major updates with the car at this stage, apart from the fact its running again...

Seat rails should arrive this week so i can fit the cheap seats in to stop the harnesses cutting my neck... That is about all i can say for now :ph34r:

That is interesting, I have 275/35/19 RS-3s for daily and just got 265/35/18 Z221s for track and I swore the 265 Z221s are wider

    • They see me rollin' they hatin'....... Took me most of the day to make the necessary mods to the mounts to make them fit the car.  Fortunately I was able to just use the mounts that came with the rotisserie. The rear ones are really secure, the front I feel i might reinforce a bit more as it doesn't seem like enough attachment to the vehicle. I'm sure it's fine but better to be safe than (extremely...) sorry.  I drilled and tapped thread into additional M12 holes to each car mount where it attaches to the rotisserie as an extra fail-safe. Without them the side to side movement is just restricted by the allen head pinch bolts, nothing actually goes though the beam. Does now! I still need to adjust the rotisserie to get the car centred in terms of centre of gravity. If it's too high or too low relative to the rotational centre line of the car, it will be like a turtle and roll onto its back or as it currently sits, I dont think I'd be able to rotate it as it sits as it needs to lift the whole car up as it rotates. Ain't happening... I'm going to be nervous as hell the first time I go to spin it on its side...    
    • Oh yes done this when the window started flopping around.  Turns out the guides that run along the rail chanel had crumbed way. Took off the door card and pulled out the window mech, then the window, which you have to pull out through the top. As said unbolt the guide rail and don't spend 30 minutes getting frustrated trying to find a way to slide it out upwards cause that don't frigging work. Drop it down and out through the door hole. All I did to repair it was slice some 10mm clear plastic tube, vertically, then screw it to the guide rail both sides. This tubing rolls inward on both sides and leaves a gap wide enough to hold the window. To finish all I did was lube the plastic tube with olive oil and Bob's your uncle . . . well if he has the operation he can be your Aunt ! !  10 bucks in plastic tube and another 5 minute job done again . . . . YEH BULLSH#T ! My love for Skylines knows no bounds !
    • So was there a solution to this problem? I’m having this issue now. 
    • not expensive, just irreplaceable if you don't go sub 60 at wakie in that thing people will start talking
    • I haven't replaced that, but I have had the doors apart on the r32 a couple of times The door skin will be held on by a combination of clips and bolts, just take it slowly and make sure all the sneaky hidden bolts are out Once the skin is off you should be able to pop that piece off pretty easily, looks like there are only 2 bolts holding it on
