Thanks dfgonzal. I actually based my decision on your ute and I'll definitely be fitting flares to make it work.

Hayashi don't make a 13 inch wheel in a low or negative offset. Want something with a dish hence why I've gone with the 14.

They do make a 15 though but I thought it would be too big?!

Hey guys,

Looking to source some Hayashi Street wheels to go onto my 1200 ute...eventually.

Looks like I will be buying them directly from Japan.

I am planning on flaring the guards but just wanted to get opinions on fitmet of the sizes of selected and roughly how much I am going to have to flare the guards.

Also tire size opinion would be great.

FRONT
Hayashi ST - 14x7 inches. 114.3 PCD. Offset +7 OR -6? Pic is of the +7




REAR
Hayashi ST - 14x8 inches. 114.3 PCD. Offset -6

Not too fussed on the area.

I live in Melton West though. Willing to travel.

Hey guys,

Looking to get my 1200 Ute paint and body work done and was wondering if there is anyone that can make a recommendation in Melbourne?? I don't really know where to start looking.

Will need both a Panel beater and painter. looking to get the following work done.

Drip rails and tonneu hooks removed
Tail gate hooks removed
Flute/Vents (B Pillar) shaved
Rear corner bumpers shaved
Passenger door lock Shaved
Guards flared about 1"
GX Bonnet restored
GX5 Fender Mirrors fitted
Hard Top Ute Lid fitted
Front Lip Fitted

Most likely want a new Ute tray floor and the wheel arches to be restored as they are a bit rough (nothing major).

There is no major rust in the car or any major panel work to be done as such. Will be an in, out, engine bay and underneath resto back to bare metal. Looking to paint it Nissan Skyline R32 Silver.

Yes I understand that this is an $8-$10k job. I don't expect to get away with it for a few grand.

Happy to pay for quality.

Cheers,
Joey.

That's grouse mate! Will be watching with a keen interest!

A very happy chappy today. Have always wanted these bad boys. Landed today. Genuine GX5 items.

I should really buy this since I almost have a full facelift front! Way too exxy for me though

I'll be running an electronic fuel injection setup so will need the extra amps

This mob reckons this will bolt straight in with no mods and charges up to 72 amps. Internally regulated too.

Which 70amp alternator is easiest to mod to an A12?
