You laugh now, but when I'm at a formal occasion with a shitty DJ and they need someone to drop Dre beats...I have something up my sleeve.

If i want to fit a new bootlid onto the car (which will be sprayed) should i look for a poor condition black one? ie. if I supply a red one and ask the painter to spray black he would then have to prep/spray the underside?

Very hard to find a black bootlid, I do have a red one but not sure if worth painting. No doubt covering the red paint on the underside would be a pain...

Any thoughts?

I'm not sure if ham is being serious or not. kinda hard to tell in text, but thanks anyways :turned:

Whole car is legal height, cat is just on 100mm. Fronts are poking out a little bit, i'll ask the dudes to camber it in a tiny bit when getting the alignment done. Only thing police can really defect me for is tint. (and being too stiff?)

I'm quite happy with the result, glad I didn't go +0 (current +20)

dead serious man... it's totally practical (well what i would call practical) looks tuff and wont attract cops unless they are SUPER bored.

little more poke on the rears could be nice but i'll wait for a front/rear shot to judge

Will grab a front and rear tomorrow. Looks a lot better irl as every other car does.

Glad people think it looks good. Wasn't really sure with the gun metal centres, as I haven't seen it before on a silver civic.

Me = Happy

And I made it up alvins driveway. that's a plus.

scirocco R is same price (thereabouts) and FWD. while it looks baller from the front and side the ass is epic fail.

golf R is 4wd - similar system to the GTR but it is front wheel biased. so when you are putting around the city or a hwy it's fwd to save fuel but when you pin it, it can throw up to 100% to the rears.

also i wont be buying new.

should get you to come past where I had my car tuned, get some rides in golf r's, modded gti's etc and see how they go

a lot of the guys tend to head towards the gti's because they are more nimble being lighter and get cools pops/bangs over the r's for some reason

Interesting you say that Nick, cause there was a magazine shoot out a while ago, where they got tuning workshops to modify their choice of car (under a certain cost, like 60k) and the same drivers to test them all around a track. The GTIs kicked ass once modified and were actually quicker around that track than the modified R32, from memory.

Probably, try it! You got even less overhang than me. Only thing i'd worry about is your exhaust.

haha i have no rear muffler now anyway, completely straight through :P

Yeah I was surprised to hear it, but it does make sense

I'd say the R's would be really useful on a full hills run to make use of the 4wd

the older mk5's are still the v6 na so they get blitzed by the gti's unless you drop the twin turbo kits on them which are like $10k :S

      R34 Gtt Wheel Offset Advice

      What can't be done with a little bit of decking board or similar timber bolted to a hub flange via 2 wheel nuts is not worth talking about.

      R34 GTT idle problem

      By silviaz · Posted

      I noticed something. On the tps sensor and the sensor behind the adjustment screw is adjusted towards the far left. Are these screws supposed to be centered? (this sensor was in the same position before the tune as well)  Also attached a photo of where my car usually idles at when warm (sometimes a tiny bit above that). I think I might have screwed up the calculation and it might have better than I thought lol at 750rpm still not 650rpm though.

      So for both general interest of engine health, and to rule out any coolant/oil issues, I organised an oil analysis done on the 125,000klm oil Results below, all good, just a bit of fuel dilution which I'm not too worried about

      This is actually a really good way of measuring what wheels fit. If only there was a similar measurement between hub face and suspension :p That said, it's probably pretty simple to actually measure it all with the wheel off the car for the rear. The front is a bit more complex but..

      R34 Gtt Wheel Offset Advice

      By AdiR34 · Posted

      Being the top Google search result for R34 wheel-related inquiries, lemme throw down my experience. I calculated that 100mm from hub face to wheel face is about the perfect fitment for my ENR34 sedan.  I've been running 18x8.5s, ET35, with a 1" spacer. So, 8.5in to mm = 216mm. 216/2 = 108mm. 108-35 = 73mm. 73+ 25 (1" to mm) = 98mm.  If you wanna get close to this on dif widths, here are the offsets you'll want: 9" - ET around 15mm 9.5" - ET around 20mm 10" - you're crazy, but ET around 30mm All these should fit perfectly on a non-widebody, non-GTR Skyline. Note that it's probably the absolute max, and you're probably better off running a couple degrees of camber in this config, but it looks great, super flush.
