Xylemer Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 This thread makes me wanna go take a pic of my Yota and my Z. RS Speed... well, I think you know I want the look of your car, so I was considering buying some zero offset wheels and throwing on some spacers, but the spacers are expensive. Between cheap wheels and expensive spacers, one could buy a nice set of wheels. Oh and I am sorry that I can not help answer your question. Apparently no one can, as you are yet to get a good answer. lol! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RS Speed Posted October 1, 2009 Author Share Posted October 1, 2009 Ya I feel you, Luckily I got both my adapters for free (30mm front and 25mm rear). My buddy owns a pretty big rim shop in SoCal and he had the adapters laying around. I built his RB25 S14 for him so we have a mutual giving relationship. On top of that I got my rims new for $460 so I got a pretty killer deal overall on my wheel setup. I say we start a Yota and Z thread in the main forum and see how many Z owners secretly own toyota pickups lol. Here's a pic of my Yota and my Z, along with my buddies S14 I put together for him (minus the body work, I only do engine/wiring/welding) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xylemer Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 If I was not at work reading on Hybrid, lol, I would go take a pic of mine. $460 for your wheels... WOW... I guess that was courtesy of your friend at the wheel shop. I would pay that right now for them. Please tell me that the Xterra is your wife's. My wife drives an Xterra.

No shepherd, we currently have Weiner dog, but our next dog will be an Australian Shepherd. My wife used to have German Shepherd.

RS Speed Posted October 1, 2009 Author Share Posted October 1, 2009 You just wanna see my Z LOL Here's some of the little guys, the 4 door JK (not finished yet) and the F350 are going up on ebay soon. The red yota is the mini me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xylemer Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 You are gonna make me go drag mine out. What are they... Tamiya, Kyosho, other? I would love to have one of my truck. So freakin cool. R/C has changed so much i the past 10 years. The last one I bought was a Revo.... had it for a few months and sold it. I have never been a huge fan of nitro. I always liked eclectic much more. I still have my stadium truck.... Losi XXT-CR... it was pimp back in the day. I have a 3 year old son and he loves it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RS Speed Posted October 1, 2009 Author Share Posted October 1, 2009 My niece (5) likes my slash cuz the damn thing flys its so fast but I love my crawlers. They get my mind off all the headaches associated with full size cars LOL. I completely got out of the nitro thing, more headache than a real car if you ask me. The two pickups are Tamiya's the Jeep is a custom build using a toys R us body. Full scale chassis, 4 linked suspension, granny gears.... cool stuff. I'm planning on getting one of these bad boys soon even though I don't like on-road but my Z is getting jealous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xylemer Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 I sometimes have a hard time focusing on one hobby when I have so many. I have a list of mods for my truck, but its my DD so I try to leave it alone. One day I will get the wife a new car and I will drive the X and throw the wrenches at the Toyota. Ok, now I have to go out and geta Z R/C.... I can't keep up with you. Oh, and Boostiswhatsfordinner just posted a thread about Yotas in the non-tech section.

RS Speed Posted October 1, 2009 Author Share Posted October 1, 2009 Don't talk to my about hobbies, Im up to my elbows in them. From hitting the shooting range to rc cars and track events, I'm all over the place. I also have dreams of making the yota less daily drivable LOL. SAS, lockers, big tires, tube bumpers.... just a nice overall hunting/trail/mild rock crawling rig. Thanks for the tip, I'm gonna go visit the toyota thread and post up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RS Speed Posted October 1, 2009 Author Share Posted October 1, 2009 You wanna trip out, hahahah I had a s14 KAT too LOL. Then I spun a bearing and threw a rod out the block. After that I put an SR in it and sold the car after owning it for 6 years or so. Then I got the z and slapped an RB in it, I just wanted to have a taste of everything nissan lol. Pretty similar turbo to yours so, t3/t4 50trim .63 hotside My work wasn't as clean back in the day but I was still learning Oh yeah this thread has gone to ♥♥♥♥ but its getting me through the work day LOL That is pretty much my same Toyota mod list. Atleast you have your Z done. I am just getting started on mine. I just sold my last project, 95 240sx with a turbo KA. Tuned with Nistune it made 418 whp and 455 tq on 23 psi with race gas.

nazgule6 Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 WOW reading this thread seems like you two should meet up and have a beer or 2. LOL. Great stuff guys. Anyways Rs speed what is your current set up on your rear rightnow, including spacers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RS Speed Posted October 1, 2009 Author Share Posted October 1, 2009 Yeah talk about off topic. Right now its a 8.5 +4 offset with a 25mm spacer so it comes out to a 8.5 - 19 offset.... Switching to the same offset wheel which is 1" wider is going to net me a half inch more inwards and outwards.... pretty much what this whole thread was supposed to be about LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boostiswhatsfordinner Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 Funny thing guys... I too had a KA-T car... Not as clean, and not S14. But still... Weird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nazgule6 Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 From what I'm thinking it should fit, the only thing im worried about is it might rub on the flares because of the extra .5 like you stated. I think you can get away with it if you choose the right tire size. Let me know what you decide to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
