If serious about racing I would be looking at a quality rim, you'll be kerb hoping a bit as it is quicker in some places. I run the TE37s in 17x9 with a 255 and if I ever decide to go bigger I'll look at another set most likely.
Racing and having a reliable car ain't cheap and rough guess with what your spending on the motor, decent wheels will be a drop in the ocean and worth the investment.

That mean's I need to save some money somewhere 😅

Dont forget rotational mass weight saving is 3 to 1 also

 

But yes theoretically good, strong , light wheels for sure but also ive still buckles "best jap wheels" and sigh

The overall combo youre building is strong 💪

Yep I've been made acutely aware as I've been swapping rotors over. 

I'm inclined to just kick off with an Enkei or something and see how we go though I note HFM are doing GT-R replica forged wheels for just over 2k, but not in 18x10 or 10.5 so I've asked if they are doing anything in that size as they were seeking feedback. 

They're following me on Instagram now too after I posted about the rotors (tryna build that audience and will keep trying to help you guys build yours).

First day in 11 years and what 700hp+ or something? 

Into the weeds lol 

Yes but no. 

Start with 450hp and see how it goes. Should go alright with Z221 295 Hankooks all round.

I'm running Enkei RPF1's but reading the above might have to look at other options if I get into it again. Koya seem to have some well priced semi forged wheels.

Got a build thread any where on this car?

He used to be cool like that, but stopped ages ago lol

Now he occasionally, pops in here with an update.

I forgot you managed to get 295s under it, that will help for sure. 

Which track you going to shake down at? 

Was looking over the car last night with a mate, and how's this.. Does that look like the bearing is leaking to you?

This hasn't even had a wheel mounted or been on the ground lol 

Reached out to Justjap to discuss. 

No description available.

Also did some shake downs on over last few days and the weekend on the rail trail with the family then on some basic trails near my place solo, was good fun. Will be doing more soon I think, just seeing what comes up sore first lol 

I live across the road from a Distillery so stopping buy for a beer or a Whiskey is a nice bonus :D

I see what looks like oil, i dont expect oil in there, id expect grease, right? (Ive never pulled apart a sealed bearing, only ever "normal" ones that are packed with grease.)

Is it a brake line dropping oil from anywhere on it?

My brake fluid is yellow, diff fluid is yellow. 

There are no other fluids in that area, there's no gearbox in the car and nothing dipping from above etc. 

JustJap are replacing it when they get stock after showing it to ZSS. 

To me it looks like when grease "sweats" and you get a thinner residue trickling down between spaces.

Picked up some slicks and borrowed some rims from a mate to do some test fitting to work out what we need to do body work/suspension wise to fit it all.

Alright alright alright, So test fitting last night, 18x10 ET20, 305 Pirelli Slicks. 

- Calipers cleared nicely (received my R34 GTT Caliper bolts which fit into the caliper, cannot test on knuckle yet as I still need a 14mm jobber bit)
- Shock towers fouled up front, fine out back. 
- Adjusted camber bolt in the shock mount to stand the knuckle up, not enough.
- Chucked on some little 10mm machine spacers from another project on the wheel studs to simulate ET10, and now we have this little bit of clearance shown below, is that enough? Given I will likely need to add camber for slicks I am thinking no? 
- Could extend LCA's, in y head you can do this to add camber and not change rim to shock clearance, is that correct? 
- Front fouls guard plastics during turns, but I have tubs on the way already (realised I will have less space for intake, oil cooler etc). 
- Looks like they clear at the rear of the front guards, but IO had considered cutting/folding those for air extraction (and maybe guard vents on top DTM style?)
- Rears fit fine, though the inner guard lip we trimmed back will need to be trimmed further or cut/folder and either camber added (currently -1.5) or slightly larger flares/guards fitted. 

Maybe just got 50mm widebody guards front and rear? Those flares are 25mm already and I'm not a huge fan of the bigger 50mm version, maybe they could look OK colour coded to the car when it gets painted. 

Thoughts/comments/experience welcomed.

i dont mind the bigger flares look if you blend them in I had them on my rear only and got used to them pretty quickly

If you got the time, effort, money and desire I think bigger guards are the way forward

How much front camber  you got on there ? surely 4 deg ++ is needed

It had -3.5 up front, but I've taken some out for clearance, though after adding the spacers I may be able to put that back. It used to max at -2.5 prior to those camber bolts.

 

I'm thinking extended LCA, but does that alter clearance to the shock or nah?

you'll need more than 3.5 deg for sure - extend the LCAs by boxing them out 20mm or I think S14 or R33 are 10 - 15mm longer standard - or both

Wont effect clearance as its pulling it from the bottom - unless you extend the LCA so much you can pull the camber across also causing some clearence but I dont think you'll get that much outta it even at max

I have roll centre adjusting ball joints already so I was considering this.

Cheap and easy?

    • That's odd, it works fine here. Try loading it on a different device or browser? It's Jack Phillips JDM, a Skyline wrecker in Victoria. Not the cheapest, but I have found them helpful to find obscure parts in AU. https://jpjdm.com/shop/index.php
    • Yeah. I second all of the above. The only way to see that sort of voltage is if something is generating it as a side effect of being f**ked up. The other thing you could do would be to put a load onto that 30V terminal, something like a brakelamp globe. See if it pulls the voltage away comepletely or if some or all of it stays there while loaded. Will give you something of an idea about how much danger it could cause.
    • I would say, you've got one hell of an underlying issue there. You're saying, coils were fully unplugged, and the fuse to that circuit was unplugged, and you measured 30v? Either something is giving you some WILD EMI, and that's an induced voltage, OR something is managing to backfeed, AND that something has problems. It could be something like the ECU if it takes power from there, and also gets power from another source IF there's an internal issue in the ECU. The way to check would be pull that fuse, unplug the coils, and then probe the ECU pins. However it could be something else doing it. Additionally, if it is something wired in, and that something is pulsing, IE a PWM circuit and it's an inductive load and doesnt have proper flyback protection, that would also do it. A possibility would be if you have something like a PWM fuel pump, it might be giving flyback voltages (dangerous to stuff!). I'd put the circuit back into its "broken" state, confirm the weird voltage is back, and then one by one unplug devices until that voltage disappears. That's a quick way to find an associated device. Otherwise I'd need to look at the wiring diagrams, and then understand any electrical mods done.   But you really should not be seeing the above issue, and really, it's indicating something is failing, and possibly why the fuse blew to begin with.
    • A lot of what you said there are fair observations and part of why I made that list, to make some of these things (like no advantage between the GSeries and GSeries II at PR2.4 in a lot of cases) however I'm not fully convinced by other comments.  One thing to bare in mind is that compressor flow maps are talking about MASS flow, in terms of the compressor side you shouldn't end up running more or less airflow vs another compressor map for the same advertised flow if all external environmental conditions are equivalent if the compressor efficiency is lower as that advertised mass flow takes that into consideration.   Once the intercooler becomes involved the in-plenum air temperature shouldn't be that different, either... the main thing that is likely to affect the end power is the final exhaust manifold pressure - which *WILL* go up when you run out of compressor efficiency when you run off the map earlier on the original G-Series versus G-Series II as you need to keep the gate shut to achieve similar airflow.    Also, how do you figure response based off surge line?  I've seen people claim that as an absolute fact before but am pretty sure I've seen compressors with worse surge lines actually "stand up" faster (and ironically be more likely to surge), I'm not super convinced - it's really a thing we won't easily be able to determine until people start using them.     There are some things on the maps that actually make me wonder if there is a chance that they may respond no worse... if not BETTER?!  which brings me to your next point... Why G2 have lower max rpm?  Really good question and I've been wondering about this too.  The maximum speed *AND* the compressor maps both look like what I'd normally expect if Garrett had extended the exducers out, but they claim the same inducer and exducer size for the whole range.   If you compare the speed lines between any G and G2 version the G2 speed lines support higher flow for the same compressor speed, kinda giving a pretty clear "better at pumping more air for the same speed" impression. Presumably the exducer includes any extended tip design instead of just the backplate, but nonetheless I'd love to see good pics/measurements of the G2 compressors as everything kinda points to something different about the exducer - specifically that it must be further out from the centerline, which means a lower rpm for the same max tip speed and often also results in higher pressure ratio efficiency, narrower maps, and often actually can result in better spool vs a smaller exducer for the same inducer size... no doubt partly due to the above phenomenon of needing less turbine speed to achieve the same airflow when using a smaller trim. Not sure if this is just camera angle or what, but this kinda looks interesting on the G35 990 compressor tips: Very interested to see what happens when people start testing these, and if we start getting more details about what's different.
