looking good .... a little unbalanced .... but that should be fixed early next week

spewing one was buckled !!! cant have been too bad ?? wasn't noticable to the eye when i was packing them ??

yeh slightly unbalanced, they only weigh about 3 times as much as the jellybeans lol

yeh I didnt know it was buckled til I saw it on the balancing machine, its not bad enough to say i wouldnt drive on it, but I'm getting 2 more tomorrow so I'll just pick the best one.

Thanks again dude

2 chasers are now sitting at wheel factory waiting to be widened 2"

15 X 8 ?

yep

got my trial fit rim back, and damn its gonna be a tight fit lol. Very very fat

I'll have to wait til I get them back and get tyres on them to see what they look like.

fat!

what size tyres you planning to run?

haha yeah tyres... I dunno yet, I assume theres something in the way of a 215 or 225 low profile available that will match or be slightly larger in rolling diametre than the 195/50 at the front. If there's not I'm buggered lol. Just have to fit 205/50 and have the angled tyre wall thats so good for performance lol

Can anyone find tyre manufacturer's websites that list a complete range of tyres they produce? I cant seem to find any, all the sites i can come up with just have the taxi bait and specials listed...

Quick question do you have to change front struts to fit chasers on datsun 1200 ute
cheers

See Wheels (section Skyline R31 wheels)

So how wide is ur end total??? where'd u get em done?? cost??

Try THIS

(Bridgestone tyre selector)

with the widened wheels on the rear end will be... very wide

haha the diff is a cut down borg warner, which I believe is a bit longer than standard. I am getting them done at the wheel factory (JAX) in Fishy and they are costing more than steel rims are worth spending money on...

let me guess 180 a rim??

$150 a rim, with me supplying the original rims, $250 a rim if they provide the centres

YEa they wanted 180 for 7inch 13's but i wanted eight, to do that they said they'll need to buy 2 7inch bands and weld em together so like 220 each so im lookin else where..

yeh thats the problem though I dont think there is anyone else...

13x8s eh? Jaime would be proud!

looks like they fil the guards well

is that the 8 inch rear

what size tyre did you end up with?

yeh thats the 8" rear, eded up going with 205/50. They are recommended to go on a max 7.5" rim, but they arent stretched too bad.

get some more pics up

shots of the whole car

and a rear 3/4 shot from low down
so we can see the dish on those puppies!

yeh I would, but I've run out of batteries for digi camera, it uses 2 AA batteries for every 3 or 4 photos...

haha must be the rotary of digi cams

You're supposed to use lithium AA batteries in your digital camera, not regular AA batteries...
[edit: I should have said "nimh" batteries]

I don't get the rotary reference. A 200hp rotary gets fuel economy similar to a 200hp six cylinder.

This battery thing is more like putting E85 in your new GM car, it uses *more* fuel total, but it uses less gasoline.

your right there dd

theyre really not that bad...

just thought it was good for a laugh

well I have a couple of sets of 1700mAh Nickel-Metal Hydride rechargables that were $25 a pair, they were good for a while but are pretty much worn out now.
Is it true what they say if you put them in the freezer overnight they'll be good again?

back on topic, my powerhouse 120Y managed a 15.7 @ 144km/h today. Gtech reckons I have 72kw

nice work..

144kmh = roughly 86mph

i managed 15.5 @ 85mph with my stocker 12a

must of had similar power

with a big launch on sticky track you could easily drop that time to 15.0 i reckon

I reckon with a big launch on a sticky track I could have popped the gearbox

Does anyone want a pair of 15x8 chasers? They are Hyundai centres (less holes than R31) and more of a positive offset. Dude wants $200 for the pair. Thats what I paid for just one of mine, before paint. If anyone's interested I can put them onto the seller, just PM me.
