sam1r Posted September 8, 2015 Author Share Posted September 8, 2015 Do they clear the calipers? ^^^ I hope you have test fit them. Steelies like this usually don't fit single pots, Let alone gtst brakes. You haven't really thought about this have you.. unless you've got the poverty brakes, also good luck fitting those under the guards... I too felt all your concerns when i first bought them but only need a 10mm bolt on spacer to clear the callipers or just whip out the angle grinder an grind a bit of the top of the calliper an its sweet. Guard work will be immense if i commit to running them instead of just 8s allround with the meshies. Gt refinishers will surely get the job to do the guards though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlownCorona Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 A 10mm bolt on spacer sounds like a really bad idea for many reasons, but mostly for the less than 10mm of material holding your wheels on. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sam1r Posted September 14, 2015 Author Share Posted September 14, 2015 So today a bit happened test fitted the 15s not going to run them anytime soon pics will show why lel got pink stickered while broken down for no bumper of all things. black smoke started pouring out the exhaust so pretty sure my turbos gone but car doesnt want to run for long or move New to do list - remove adjusties -take cage out - springs back in - seats back in -go to vtnz an fail on their picky fucking standards, no doubt more shit they'll make me do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitch.W Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 black smoke will be it running rich as fuck, maybe on 5 cyls, white smoke pouring out would be turbo. what happened to all these wheels coming from japan? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought it was turbo cause theres a shit ton of oil pissing out the seals an using heaps of engine oil still waiting on them moonlight have had some delays so hoping end of september Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitch.W Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 take your intercooler off and see if its full of oil, a seal in your turbo is probably just gone and leaking oil everywhere. but burning oil is still blue smoke. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bronze Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 I like where youre coming from a lot but wouldn't want to put a NA in a fairly tidy turbo body which is something that isn't the most common anymore with all the Rfb plebs around, kinda sad really. only need a 10mm bolt on spacer to clear the callipers or just whip out the angle grinder an grind a bit of the top of the calliper an its sweet.

sam1r Posted September 20, 2015 Author Share Posted September 20, 2015 /irony #karmageddon Was waiting for it to happen sooner or later so not fussed just thought it would be for adjusties cause youre allowed to drive without a front bumper but this cunt doesnt know anything. He thought my gear knob was illegal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cletus Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 cause youre allowed to drive without a front bumper but this cunt doesnt know anything. nope. Condition and performance1. The risk of a component (Note 5) hooking a vehicle, or hooking or grazing a person, has not been minimised, eg a bonnet or bumper has been removed, exposing sharp, moving or hot components. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nvmyvl Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 I got a ticket about 12 years ago for no front bumper on my primera. Had the plate zip tied on the front. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

downtrail Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 Was also pulled over once for no front bumper. Was let off when i showed him the smashed fibre glass bumper shoved in the boot after it was ripped off on one of those parking stops.

sam1r Posted September 21, 2015 Author Share Posted September 21, 2015 its actually quite frustrating how uninformed the cops are about the "rules" every one of them say something different about. Ive been pulled over 5 times in the last month just because of "the type of car i own"- their words, an none of them mentioned anything about missing bumper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
