sold my work equip anhelos on thursday just gone.

very sad.

but decided itd be a better idea to have a matching set of 6 wheels.

so i plan on buying 6 XXR 531's in 17x9+25 all round

so i thought id better test fit a 9" wheel to the front.

this is a 17x9+38 with a 25mm bolt on spacer.

oh and they actually rocked up yesturday.

unfortunately its gonna be a while before i can get them fitted up as i was in a car accident on saturday just gone and my daily driver was written off.

so all my spare money i had aside for the laurel has gone to buy a new daily.

not happy. but hopefully the insurance company of the guy that hit me wont take to long to pay me.

yeah i did.

turns out i shouldnt own r31s. have written three off in not at fault accidents.

a mate came round yesturday and test fitted my modded knuckles for me.

gonna have to spend a bit of money gettin everythin to clear now. hits everywhere haha.

.... havent got lock stops on my arms. currently hits the castor rod and the inner well at the back. haha. and arms are binding.\

turns out the knuckles ive bought are freakin insane also,

they actually run reverse ackerman by the looks of it.. and are extremely quick.

should be interesting. i predict a shit load of spins happening. haha

im only running stock arms at the moment, thats probably got a fair bit to do with it id imagine. haha

its not actually hitting the inner well at the moment. i havent got tyres fitted to the XXRs yet. we just mounted one of them to see what i was likely to hit,

will be getting tyres fitted in the new year. at the moment im not even allowed to touch a car because of the bloody crash.

i would but this is basically gonna be driven on the street maybe a couple times a year,

and after spending this year in the passenger seat of my mates 180 track car. i really want a pair of sparco seats.

i still found that on the track with the recaros i was having to brace myself on the centre console/door. admittedly I haven't installed my harness yet, but I figure someone else might as well put the road legal recaros to good use.

    • 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
