damn, pity I didn't see this thread earlier, could have warned you off them...

Anyway, for people searching in the future, I'm running 18x11 +18 and they touch the suspension upright before full lock, so not ideal. I'll probably try and get some 5mm spacers to just get them out far enough to clear, but they're pretty much flush with the guards as is.

Does look good though.... :D

Any pics :D

Wheels are now on properly

Wheel specs are

Front: 19 x 11 ET15

Rear: 19 x 11 ET25

295/30/19 Yokohoma Advan V103 tyres all round :)

Next tyre change I'm gonna drop it down to a 285 tyre to give me a bit more clearance, Coilovers to come in the new year along with a probable arch roll and Z-Tune front wings to give even more movement :)

I know it needs centre caps - I just cant find any I like & I know the silver nuts looks silly but I've got some black ones due anytime from Adam @ Z1

Proper pics to come over the weekend assumming it stops raining at some point :rolleyes:

That looks awesome :wub:

How much are you lowered by? Have you had to roll the arches or remove the guards? What tyre size?

Thanks!

Ride height is355mm from centre of wheel to wheel arch and the tyre size is 295/30/18. I haven't had to roll the guards at all but then again the cusco suspension is pretty firm and I don't think I've managed to get that much compression into the springs. A track day may change that though...

Also Ian, love those RE30s - they're one of my other rims of choice. But as everyone else is saying - needs more low!

Then again, if it's your daily, would make sense not to drop it - My heart is in my mouth every speed hump and dished road crossing

Front track is wider than rear?

In pictures, the rims are so flat. Can't see much of the re30 :(

Looks great though.

At the moment yeah. I'll see how it goes with them set up like this and go from there :)

Thanks!

Thats just what I wanted to hear :D I'm also running 295/30 and planning for Cusco coilovers (Had them on my 350Z and they were epic!)

Looks great Ian. Do u have plans 2 lower it?

Yup, lowering will be next. I'll take the car off the road over winter and get it ready for summer (coilovers, hardpipes and a few carbon touches ;))

    • From there it is trickier. Ecutek seems to be one of those closed ecosystems where everyone password protects their tunes which means I either choose a tuner and can't change from them and can't make any changes myself for any reason, or I have to buy the tuning software (about $4k) and then get someone to tune from scratch (which is not simple with all the multi dimensional tables these days). Once you buy about 300 "flash points" per ECU you can get it tuned and add their "RaceROM" function which hacks extra functionality like launch control onto the ECU, and also makes extra data available for logging over CAN Not sure what I'll do there yet; I'm tempted to use one of the overseas shops that does billions of remote tunes of the platform instead of starting from scratch locally, a lot can be done online these days.
    • Can I log IAT eh? Well, can now So next thing was looking at data logging. Not straight forward because none of the motorsport displays have cracked the nissan/inifinti CAN and ECU based displays don't do g logging, lap timing, predictive laps etc.  So, I bought an Ecutek dongle from Tunehouse (Oz distributor). Even without a tune onboard that allows display and logging of about 50 parameters via Android (and presumably iOS) app. Approx 600 for the bluetooth + Usb version That gives me (pretty ugly but) functional dash display on Android And logging of these parameters I'll play around a bit over the break, but at least now I can make sure I have oil pressure when I get to some track testing.  
    • I don't know what globes/headlight connector they run, but I'd be looking for a female adapter to plug into the existing headlight on one side. Something like this https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/256017245989 Then I'd use a pair of single input, double output relays (one for low, one for high), mount them in a spare space in the fuse box if you want to to look more original (and be easier to maintain). Then 2 new power sources from the main stud in the fuse box via a fuse to each relay. Low from the headlight adapter pin triggers low relay and high from the high headlight adapter pin triggers high and low. Earth the relays and new headlight sockets and off you go. Because it triggers off the original headlight all of the dipping/hi on/high flash all still works
    • I reached 10 posts and wanted to make my build thread too but still can't add pictures to posts so I have no idea how it works 😂
