those tyres sizes are fine to run in regards to stretching. my hayashi streets have 195/55/15s on a 9.5"

would you be interested in spliting the pair?

yeh this shop sells the bamf flares. but i think i read on hybridz that theyre not of the best quality

it depends alot on the design of the wheel. my regamasters were 17x9 +18 and only has about an inch of dish. but the same specs on say a work meister or ssr professor could have 2-3" of dish. also i think your abit confused. offset isnt the only thing which determines dish and how far the wheels stick out. width makes a big difference. for example a 15x7 et0 and 15x8 et0 were on the same car. they would not sit in the same position. the 8" would sit 1.27cm further out.

id say go paint. you get a larger variety of colours etc. and as its already been said its easier to touch up if you get scratches etc. heres a set of regamasters i had redone a while ago. with regards to the op painting centres, are they 3 piece wheels? if they are i wouldnt powdercoat them unless you take them apart first. as powder coating gets up to like 200degs and will mess around with sealant and glue etc holding the wheel together.

sorry for massive thread revival but just wondering how you ended up fitting the recaros? did you make a custom rail like u previously mentioned?

check out http://www.wheel-whores.com/ plenty of info on wheels in general. but more specifically how to take a part 3 piecers. repainting etc etc.

any updates? i follow this car on jdmst aswell. would love to see those wats mounted

how much power is it making with the rb20det?

not a zed but someone might be interested. datsun 200b 1000$ http://www.nissansilvia.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=441997&s=64d8b97c70f45936f83d38960d924d0f

im just trying to understand this statement. are you saying that if you're going to turbo a z, that you may as well go all out and lower cr to run more psi and get higher power figures? or no point using a small turbo? because a member on one of my honda forums has got a b18c is running stock comp ratio of 11:1 with gt30 on 7.5 psi and is making 240fwkw (300ish hp). so surely on a 2.8l z with a lower comp ratio should be able to reach those figures or is that just a difference between the two engines? thanks herrods very informative post. so pretty much the best way to turbo an l28 is to lower the comp ratio but it can be done in a few ways? do you have a build thread atm herrods? would love to follow your progress and learn more.

Hi guys ive tried searching but i couldnt really find the answer i was looking for. ps. im new to the whole turbo thing. from what ive read to change an l28 to an l28et requires some parts off the l28et from the US to lower the compression ratio. is it necessary to do this and what is the reasoning behind it. from my understanding its to get the engine similar to the us counterpart as they were made for boost. im from the honda crowd and most of the engines have a high comp ratio. 11.0:1. Alot of ppl when they boost there engines they leave the stock comp ratio and add a smaller turbo and run less psi. they argue that its better for response and less lag. as opposed to lower comp ratio and high psi. would leaving the comp ratio on an l28 and adding a smaller turbo with less psi be worth the trouble, or would it be better to lower the comp ratio and rud be able to run higher psi. if its been covered before just flame me

loving the rebuild thread. im in love with that orange paint. aswell as the green! great work

needs some zg flares. and fat dished wats.
