what engine do i want sr or rb to just get 300 whp reliability and cheapest way?

slidewaysS15R

sr is going to be the cheapest way rb is going to be more expensive but give you more reliability IMO

I went through the dilemma of gts-t vs. 180SX and the 180SX was less expensive to upgrade and provided what seemed like better hp and torque gains for like upgrades. You can definitely get 300 whp and 300ft-lb torque out of a stock-internal SR motor.

looked all over, not sure where to find the answer...

how many MM effectively does an 18x10.5 +15 sit farther out than an 18x9.5 +15? Is it as simple as 1/2" or ~13mm or is there a way to calculate this?

Trying to figure out what size spacer to run in the rear of my Kouki...18x9.5 +15...I'm thinking a 15mm spacer but i don't want ridiculous poke, just flush

Great thread!


Should I buy this car and besides rust what else should I look for?



Car: 1991 Nissan 240SX

gerbil is sik

I can't find one..............

I think that's what caused my turbo to go bye bye.

240sx123$

Depends on the tire size... 18x9.5 +15 will be basically flush with a 255 tire, if that helps. As far as just the wheel itself, you are correct- a 10.5 +15 will stick out 13mm or so farther than a 9.5 +15.

Im running 18x9.5 +22, no spacer, 255/40 tire with just a roll. I could probably get a 5mm slip on in there, but Im not looking for a super aggressive setup.

I want a boost controller and i imagine boosting like...10-11psi? Do i need single or dual solenoid? does it matter?

When analyzing this one also needs to consider the amount of camber. I am running a 17X9 +35 offset with 3 degrees of camber and I had to roll the inner lip (till it was flush with the inside of the fender) otherwise I rubbed. But this is on a s13. Nevertheless a person should consider the camber that they want when calculating the clearance.

has anyone bought a full set of varrstoen 18x10.5 0 offset? if so, can you post fitment on a stock body s14? I don't mind rolling the fenders because I am trying not to go widebody.

what size tires? i was thinking of running 225/40 all around

hey i need help ! i switch my stock cluster for the jdm on my 90.s13 but i need to know witch wires to repin to make the od/spd and temp gauge work ? anything o help !!

nathanong87

only person i know of that has bought the 18x10.5+0 is a friend with a r32 skyline =\

but i'm at 10.5J+14 so, u can CERTAINLY make up for the +14 mm through tire size and slight camber. Im using 235/40-18 fattyerals. if u used 225/40, u'd probably only need a 8-10mm more roll/pull, which is not too bad...

yea, i've seen yours and ob's roll/pull, not bad of a stance. I wonder if that size would clear z32 brakes.

I want to get 17x9 +0 and 17x10 +0 and want to get over fenders but im not sure if what i have in mind is to much.

I want 30mm front 50mm back will it be to much for it or should i go less also a beefy tire is a must in the back.

What would be a good combo for the wheel sizes i want?

It will be my dd/track car and love the wide stance on it.

Someone help me out please.

RB20DETs are garbage. Parts are also hard to come by and aftermarket is limited. Any initial savings ($1k vs $2k) is lost in the added cost to mount, wire and mod it.

I been looking all over for s13 1989-90 passenger side fender localy and cant find none. what i wanted to know is if i use a 1991-93 fender would it fit decent without a front bumper? Or would it not even be worth it, and i should just wait til i find a 1989-90 fender?

Okinawandrifter87

Is the bumper here at the bottom (the K's aero bumper) a true legit bumper or is it some wannabe knock off?

Would you happen to have any pics?? I'm looking at running 225/40 up front and 245/40 out back...I wouldn't object to different sizes or running 225 all around so that I can rotate them if need be.

excellent point i forgot to mention. I would be fine running ~2-3 deg neg camber out back...preferrebly as close to factory as i can up front

Anyone one make Berber (coupe style) black carpet for the S13 hatch?

In fact anyone make the Berber style carpet for any cars?

Corbic

Make one from Parker fittings, ~$20, it will never break, leak or loose accuracy.

VNG704

"genuine nissan" is nissan so I'd say it's not a knock off.

axiomatik

Most likely it is a genuine Nissan part, but I am willing to bet that it is not the Aero bumper. I was told 4 years ago that the Aero bumper was discontinued.

Car isnt very low, but I have plenty of clearance now that the fenders are rolled. 18x9.5 +22 all around, 235/40 up front, 255/35 rear.

The third picture is a 225/40 front. I thought it looked goofy, and after smashing one of my wheels on a pothole, I went to 235/40 and am much happier. The 225 looks AWESOME on a 9.5 wheel, but the car needed to be lower for it to look good. Super low, super aggressive stance was never my goal, and seeing as this is a daily driven street car, I care more about protecting my wheels than anything else.

Plus the ride is much better with the 235 fronts. It doesnt seem like a big difference (10mm), but theres a LOT more sidewall available now. And yes, I know.. None of my body panels match.

Edit.. the third picture is also a 255/40 rear, (first and second pics are a 255/35)

Stupid question: i want to put the 17 inch rims on my S14. I would like to have 9/9.5 front and 10/10.5 on the rear, without have too much camber and roll the fender. What is the right ET? I want a FLUSH style, not HELLAFLUSH!

If you want flush, you will need to roll the fender.

7evil

Ok but what about the ET ?

There is no "right or wrong" ET.. Its one of several factors you need to consider when purchasing wheels. You could go with a very low offset for a more aggressive look, but that would limit your tire options. Or you could go with a more mild offset, so you have the option of running some more rubber under there. Until you understand WHAT offset is and how it works, any wheel buying will simply be guesswork. Check this guy out: Wheel Offset Calculator

Thank you so much!

have you put the wheel on your car yet? just put it on, and if you want more poke, measure how much you want, and put that spacer on it. pretty simple.

different between two wheels with the same offset is half an inch. offset is measured by the mounting point compared to the middle of the rim. if the rim is an inch wider, that would leave half an inch on each side of the mounting point....if that at all makes sense...it does in my head....should be right.
