Lmgt4s are gorgeous but stupid money.

I've already got 18's Dan. Just want to change design. I can't run 17s as they simply won't fit over the brakes and I like a little side wall, my cars stiff enough, on 19s I think it would be terrible.

:hurl: :hurl:

Not for me those I'm afraid.

Lol sorry I didn't get my measuring stick out! :wack: I meant the design as a whole.

Thanks for your input mate but they are pretty much the opposite to what I'm after.

Look nice on the Audi but I think they are a bit bulky for a z32. Thinking more like TE37's but not remortgage price.

Yeah I need 18s.

I'd like move away from spilt rim effect or even split rims. Something 5 or 6 spoke. Simple clean look. I'd like to run 9s up front and possibly a 10 at the rear.

Agreed. The answer is not much. The more I can get for these the more I have to play with. If I can dispense of the need for spacers my 25mm hubcentrics can sell and add to the fund. As a temporary measure I'm quite keen on using the non Rays 18s from a 350. I've still gotta pay of the lighting rink on my aquarium so can't go splurging money really atm, but I really don't like them.

They do look alright and did when I first did them but I dont have the inclination to sort them because I'm not keen on design to begin with.

This is what they look like on the car if anyone wondering.

I feel I need new wheels, sooner rather than later. I currently have a set of fuel 6s. I painted them gun metal a few years back but they need a refurb. They arnt the style I want really and is like something simpler. So what are they worth? They were about £650 new, I didn't pay this. Ideally I'd like to swap them. I need 18s though as my brakes won't fit behind anything else. Real pain in the ass, I'd go back to stock for a while otherwise. To sell these save then get what I want. Every time I look at the car though I feel disappointment with them.

I may come along to this, if Ive got time. Bit busy as of late.

If only you could plastic weld.

I used the same bit of kit. However I didn't flare mine just rolled the lip flat so I know it won't slice into the tyre wall.

There's not some in line fuse behind the dash causing head aches is there? I hate stuff like this, very frustrating. You know how it is though, it will be something stupid.

The roads are so much more dangerous these days obviously :lol:

My first car was actually a Citroen 2cv. My mum had owned years ago and it had sat in storage for the best part of a decade. The conversation was something along the lines of if you can get it back on the road you can drive it, if you can drive that you can drive anything. So in learnt to fix it and I was learning normal manual and collumn gears as a learner. Drove it around for about six months I suppose after I passed till I could afford something else, all jokes aside it was pretty fun to drive as there so slow you can rag it everywhere and you can't roll them. Good times. I then brought a Suzuki Vitara, it had no roof and 4wd so it was great for throwing our bikes in the back and trudging across the fields to trails etc. Took it out green laning in the evening, this thing was never clean. Crashed it twice, had so many misadventures it in its untrue. Blew the head gasket on the M4 and fixed it the next weekend with dad. It was a tough little beast, very practical for me, I just got sick of it, it wasn't very cool. At some point I will buy an old land cruiser or something to beat on like I did with that. Then I brought a Ford capri, 1.6 it had the looks I wanted. It went sideways a lot. It was very simple to work on and I learnt loads. Did an engine swap and poured money into it. Blew it up and lost heart. Brought a newish Vauxhall corsa, the idea was to have something modern and reliable an cheap on fuel for work as I was an apprentice at this point. Honestly that was the biggest heap of crap ever. I started getting the Capri sorted and had that as a toy. It started to become clear that while the corsa was newer it wasn't more reliable and I saved £10 a week driving it instead and it was Ghey. So that sold. Capri broke again and I got sick of it, it wasn't even faster than the corsa. So I hunted about I wanted power and I wanted a proper engine, I wanted rwd. So there was a long period of looking. Eventually I realised I could buy a z32 which I'd wanted for years and brought it. Daily'd it for about 3 years. Then a job change meant I got a company Van and the z became the toy it now is.

100xs better! Imagine that all cracking the first time you give it some stick.

Whilst I'm waiting to borrow the equipment to check the crank and bores etc I've recorded the piston grades and rod bearings. I've also stripped the Pistons off the rods. Cyl Piston grade Rod bearing 1 2 1 All cylinders and bearing are the same grade as each other. I haven't had time to check the crank ones yet. Just to clarify am I correct in the understanding that if wear is within tolerance and should I wish to replace the 30P Pistons with 30P1 replacements, I would require a set of 30p1 Pistons of grade 2 and a set of rod bearings grade 1? I like to be clear with these things.

Just bin the grannie box.

I meant parts tbf. AMS are based in Canada arnt they, so I assume their website prices are in dollars Canadian.

It probably is rich. Like you say advances in technology and let's not forget power delivery. How a car applies and utilises it power can be as important as its gross power value. Look how quick the R35 is.
