Archetype Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 Those Longchamps might be a bit narrow - I measured them tonight and they are 6.5" and 5.5". Got a link to your 808 project? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0R10N Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 bumping discussion thread for a fellow banana owner could be tempted by your front lowering springs but I'd need to find some matching ones for the rear. As a lot of people have pointed out - mine could do with moar slam! New pad looks mint too, it's the sort of place I wouldn't mind moving into if it could accommodate at least three of my rusty old heaps with ease. Actually, what you need to do is jam a hoist in the corner or something, then it'd be epic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazytim Posted July 19, 2010 Author Share Posted July 19, 2010 gotta say orion you have the mintest 'rusty old heaps' I've ever seen! If you wanna see true rust get a gem or chuvit up ya! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0R10N Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 hehe cheers. I did have a few rust issues with my TX3 but that's all sorted now. My brother's one is starting to go in the same places, might go get it fixed as his birthday present this year or something Yours is too mint/original to go that low. Super Low King springs wouldn't be anywhere near that low anyway. Here's mine minus springs, sitting on shortened bumpstops hmm that is a reasonable height actually. If i did end up doing a lowering mission, i'd perhaps have mine sitting slightly higher than yours in that photo. possibly forego the shortened bumps etc. basically I look at the guard gap on the RX and think... hmm yuck, that's more than the skyline coupe ever had! (and I ended up lowering that, so not against the idea of doing it to my minters) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archetype Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 I'm looking for an aftermarket speedo and tacho at the moment. I already have 3 smaller VDO gauges which will be mounted in the centre of the custom dash which look like this: I was planning on going with these 2: I'm not that keen on having MPH as the main readout on the speedo, and the 5" tacho is slightly too big for where I want to mount it (in the same place as the original tacho): Would it be weird having 2 different brands of gauges, say, my current VDO gauges and maybe something like this 4.5" Defi gauge?: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4AG_Addict Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 Try Driven Performance for wheel spacers, they list 15mm with 12x1.5 pitch studs http://www.drivenperformance.co.nz/scripts/prodView.asp?idproduct=754 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danger Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 My exhaust probably isnt the best but the car has the diff just sitting on its 2.5" exhaust when I have it on the factory bumps anyway. Are you selling front springs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Archetype Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 Super low King Springs. They're on Trade Me at the moment: http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=306390411 Not sure what they're worth new these days. Will take a bit less than reserve price, and also take trade Me fees into consideration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Requiemk Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 hey iv got the brakes out of my fd at the moment if your still after those measurements? there type rs so bit bigger though.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archetype Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 Yeah, that would be great thanks. It's mainly the width that I need now, but if you could double-check the bolt spacing too please. I've found 2 references which say it's 160mm, but if you could check it really accurately, I'm hoping it's more like 158mm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
