gdv350ss Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 Mull, That's a very good looking setup! I think a 16 inch wheel is perfect for the 240Z. Your project has been such an inspiration to all of us! Thanks for the many extra hours of time you've put into documenting and sharing your world class videos. They are entertaining and educational at the same time. I've watched many of them over and over again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Careless Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 yeah i like the look of a 16 inch wheel with a meaty tire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoNkEyT88 Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 I was wondering how the CF dash came out, as I'm working on something similar. Did you use a two part mold for it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavyZ Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 The chunkier wheel and tire look better on the car in my opinion. The other style just didn't make it. I like the flares you fabricated--they look really good on there! Davy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RB26powered74zcar Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 Now that looks absolutely wicked!! That wheel/tire combo looks 1000% better than the other silver wheels above... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THANKS MULL!!! Thanks man, that post made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside I dunno what he did to the bender, he had some modifications done to the dies but not sure what. I would get a proper bender though, there are some cheap ones that does the job better. Check out: http://www.jd2.com/ and their "model 3" bender. It's pretty cheap at $300 + dies. As for the project, right now I'm just sitting around waiting for the new version of the fender flares. That, and better/warmer weather so that I can lure a Z out to make moulds for my roof. Also waiting some invoices to cash in, money: it does come in handy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RB26powered74zcar Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 For sale Hi Mull, I see that the 4 lug hubs look to be the same fit as the 5 lug. I have a complete Z32TT rear drop that has the 5 lug pattern, but my CCW wheels I bought in 4 lug. Question is, it looks like I could just swap out the Z32 5 lug hub for the ones like your selling, as I'm sure the hubs on a lot of the models are interchangeable... I know the R32 GT-R and the Z32TT used the same axles, hubs, and spindles, as I'm sure several models shared the 4 lug set up (240sx, etc.) I'd like to eventually use the Techno Toy complete rear kit, where I'll use the parts from the Z32TT drop, but I want to go 4 lug cause of my wheels.

big B Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 I'm pretty sure there are no 4 lug hubs that accept the large splined z32tt axles. Mull I noticed that you are on the list for the cf bamf zg's. so did the steel flares not work out at all? Also what offset are the skyline wheels that you put on your car and how much did they stick out past the fender without flare? I'm also using the newer style irs although from a s13. I don't think it is as wide as yours. The only thing that sucks about using this rear is you can't use those deep a$$ rims like every one else.

Yeah, you could. The hubs that came with the IRS were from a R32 GTS and the present 5-lug hubs are from a R33 GTS-T. I've sold the 4-lug hubs to a guy that has a 200sx RS13, so there should be no problem if you wanna run a 4-lug R32/240sx setup. My R32 GTS axles mate up with the R33 GTS-T perfectly anyway.

I don't think it is as wide as yours. The only thing that sucks about using this rear is you can't use those deep a$$ rims like every one else. Carbon fiber is beats metal in coolness any day. Haha. No, seriously, I just thought the cf-flares looked totally bad ass. I liked the metal flares, but the wider zg-flares really knocked me out : ) Offset was 22-something... And man do I know about the deep rims. It's crap, but hopefully the wider cf-flares will allow a little party in the wheel well I'm hoping at least a 265-285 wide tire will fit. The reason things have been moving slowly lately is the same as in my last post. Some invoices have been cashing in lately, so hopefully this wagon train should be on the move again. Next objective on the to-do-list is to get the engine/transmission mounts in place and have the engine finished so I can get it inspected by a Swedish organisation that manages highly modified street cars and amateur built stuff. I'll be borrowing a friends 200sx S14 front spindles/etc tomorrow to test if it could be fitted to the 240z without making too big of a mess of things...

HIGHERGROUND Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 Here's a (loaner) 18" wheel that wanted to go for a test run on the new 5-lugs : ) I'd like to know what rims these are! They look sweet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtl260z Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 Any comments on these GTR wheels? They're 16x8, I think. Tires are 225/45.Not very wide but there's about 20 mm more room before the rim touches the lower arm and the flares will be slightly redesigned (a bit wider with a less flat design) so hopefully I'll get some 265 or 285 tires in there sooner or later... I think the GTR wheels look great other than the size. 16" wheels are too small for that car. You should be running 17 to 18" x 9.5 to 12" wheels on the rear of that beast. My plan for my 260Z is to have at least a 285 rear tire on 17 or 18" wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
