Anyone thinking of rolling their arches
Ive done this on mine but not ideal it will crack the paint , not seen it with the car being driven though ,ive used a baseball bat or scafolding bar before .Arch enemey do a good job on this with a arch roller .But if you want a flare as i do the rear quater will need painting.Machines orange pentroof zed has a nice flare /roll going on.Its possible to fit 10 inch wheels with lower offsets than standard with a arch pull and flare on the rear.

tension rods
I would avoid any cheap or unbranded suspension parts .These parts are made in the far east and copied from people like tein etc with cheap materials and bearings especaily avoid rear upper arms /toe arms/traction arms with grease nipples for the rose joints .Ive seen these cheap arms in lots of diffrent colours some uk companys paint them a diffrent colour and brand them as there own .

like a phoenix from the flames
Arnt zed rods forged items anyway .Im sure standard pistons will take 500 bhp aslong as the mapping is spot on [no dett],maybe an APEXI power fc from a RB engine modified wirring to fit the z32 ecu plug ive been told it can be done.

Fuel pump getting tired or coilpack or packs breaking down maybe.

Confusing wheel question
That ad says 5 stud i recon they are 10" rear and 9" front .The wheels need to be measured with tyre off from the inside of the tyre bead [rim].If the offset are 35 ish and you change the rear tyre to 265 or 255 they stand a good chance to fit .Just looked at ad again does he mean they are 5x100pcd .
