Hey Everyone, I'm not sure if this has been done, I know it has somewhere, had to of been, anyway, what wheels and fitment is everyone running? Im running Koya's new 2015 SFo6 wheels in Matte Black 20 inch, 9.5 fronts with +35 offset and 10.5 rears with +38 offset. Allows for flush fitment running exactly parallel with my wheel arches. Looks sex. Just need to drop it a bit and ill be sitting pretty. Post Pics of your ride on ya shoes below! And of course if this is not a correct forum (cuz im still nooby at forums,) Delete please.

And no Im ordering Some brand with pretty good reviews, Gecko Coilovers, monotube design. Pretty good price at 1300. Will see how they go and bite the bullet for them,

Hey mate if you decide to buy locally i got a brand new set that i never got around installing and thinking about selling. Pm me if interested cheers

edit: they are not this Gecko brand, its a japanese brand distributed by Tanabe

Ah, OK, that makes a little more sense. It does look good, without a doubt but it's still too impractical on Sydney roads at least. You'll be forever snaking your way over speed humps at a snail's pace. I'd aim for a finger's gap between the top of the tyre and lip, for practicality's sake.

Also, if you think it's going to improve handling around bends significantly, keep in mind you already have 4WAS on this beast. If I can navigate 90km/h bends at 180km/h on factory height, you'll only be a little tighter around them by comparison. If you're going to throw it around the track, then it makes sense to do what you plan on. But if it's just to drive around town (and flirt with the law every now and then), the benefits are far outweighed by the impracticality.

Not trying to shatter dreams here. Just giving food for though. That and I just don't like being stuck behind vehicles that take years to navigate over speed humps because they dropped the thing too damn low.

    • Convert to dual filament bulb   FWIW, it will look odd - I dare say a bit dumb as it looks like your flasher relay has shit the bed.
    • If the RB29 box in the car is a push clutch, then yes, you will need to deal with the pull clutch on the turbo box. You either buy a pull clutch and don't use the old one, or you do the things needed to convert the turbo box's clutch arrangement over to push. Which is a bit of a f**karound. "Making" a custom tailshaft is the easy part. But you will need to source the front clip yoke - the bit that goes into the output of the gearbox. These are not as easy to find. They are out there, but they don't grow on trees the way that they used to.
    • Indicator bulbs are way too bright to use as a "corner marker" (we call them parking lights too). Sure. Go ahead and do it. But realise that you wil need to come up with all your own wiring to do it, as no-one will have a standard howto worked out for Skylines. It's just a matter of abandoning everything that Nissan have done and starting from scratch. You'd probably be better off retrofitting tailght/brakelight globe bases into the front indicator housings and using the taillight circuit for your corner marker and the brake light as the indicator. You'd need to work out how to kill the marker circuit while the indicator is flashing, otherwise it won't flash on-off, just bright-less bright.
    • Hi. A little bit of an update. It maybe(hope not) looks like i would need a new tranny(it would be "maybe" a cheaper or better option anyway) So i need some info. I know i need a different propshaft(i can make custom one) LSD is not a problem cuz the engine will be still(for now) N/A RB20. So if i buy RB25DET NEO tranny...is there something else i need? I read something about push/pull type but i do not know if i need to "change" something or i can just plug n play onto my engine a go? Thanks for the advice  
    • Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance
