So I may/may not have something else in the works. :whistling:

These wheels/tyres have done around 5000kms from new.

The wheels were from a short run in 5x114.3. Seem to be really popular in the US for the BMW crew and were really hard to get in this stud pattern, size and colour. I don't believe they are still being made in this sizing so. Happy to be proven wrong, but I haven't seen another set in Oz!

Perfect size for the M35's I reckon, and means my speedo runs nearly perfect at 100kmh. (can't actually remember the speed and my old man's GPS is 250km's away).

Wheels:

Avant Garde M310

Hyper Silver

19x9.5+20

5x114.3

No gutter rash!

Tyres:

Kuhmo KU31

245/40 R19

This package set me back well over $3000 just a few months ago.

Looking to sell for $2750.

Remind us what suspension you're running with this? Did you need to lip the guards to avoid rubbing? Wondering if this is a wife-approved combo.

I'm running BC BR's, mainly just so I could tweak the height.

The guards are lipped. I did the front and rears since my mate had a guard roller handy, however Chris (who runs the same combo) and Ben (his brother) in Sydney tell me that you don't need to bother with the rears.

My wife drives with this setup, and to give you an idea, she refuses to even try driving a manual and probably has never broken a speed limit in her life :laugh: . Up close it looks awesome but from further away it just has a tough factory wagon look (in my opinion) - doesn't look too aggressive at all, so neither of us have ever felt like the cops are thinking about pulling us over. The only response we've had from them was a thumbs up from one once. :thumbsup:

So what have you got in the works to replace them?

Everything is completely on hold at the moment. >.<

Moved house this weekend, car has kind of taken a back seat for a bit. That said, I'm thinking about heading down the "murdered out" path. :)

      Rb26/30 build

      By lilley's gtr · Posted

      I've been building a 26/30 for a few years now. I've had the head built with all the good stuff. I had a 32 gtr but blew it up and yes its all going into a vl but im looking for some advice from some RB nuts on pros and cons on putting a 26 head on a 30 bottom end is it worth it Works are as follows Head -Extensive porting 1mm oversized supertech valves Supertech double springs Supertech valve guides Supertech titanium retainers Tomei solid lifters Tomei 270 x 10.25 cams Head drain Bottom end series 2 rb30 block Cp ceramic coated pistons Eagle rods Romac balancer Oil restrictions  O ringed blah blah spent a fortune And will get a girdle because the 30s arent used to handling that much rpm Nitto billet oil pump Hypertune plenum 6boost mani Refurbed astra pump thats the cover for it in the boot I did have a precision 6262 but sold it because drag car life. Currently building the ass end full 4 link floater rear end with a 2 speed  But the dilemma i have is my mate rekens I should just stick with the 30 head for reliability. Has any one had any issues with mounting the 26 head ie compression blowing gaskets etc. Just looking for some advice from people who have gone down this route. Here's some photos. Blew the oil pump in the gtr and decided to rip the motor out at the time and do a full build only to find it had been a repairable write off so went down this path.

      Nismo rear spats

      lol no cats running str pipes … might put the high flow back on but I suspect it might effect my ignition timing a bit.

      Nismo rear spats

      That looks a bit like yellowing to me. If the rear bar was looking like that from rich idle, I'd ask the question, do you have a catalytic converter fitted, and fully working?

      Oh yeah gets really bad down here. I’ll have to upgrade the heater and wind screen wipers as well for optimal performance.
