New wheels showed up in the mail today. Well, they were used... but I picked up these Weds SA-15R in 18x9.5 +38 square for the G as a "track" setup. The plan is to run them in the summer with some super sticky 275/40 tires all around. I dropped them off at my powdercoater today to get them done in satin black. I'll probably have them on the car sometime in March.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!
NISMOs are finally sold. Ordered some new tires for the new wheels - 265/40/18 Bridgestone Potenza S04 Pole Position. Also got my wheels refinished in a satin black, paired with Project Kics Kyuogen lug nuts.
Happy Thanksgiving to you too! Nice job on the wheels, and those tires should fit really well on your G. Sorry I couldn't try that test fit, bad timing

Look forward to seeing those installed.
Its all good, I just hope the tires aren't too "small" if that makes sense. If anything, it will let me have a better measurement for my next tire size.
Awesome! Those new Weds really show off those brakes. Would be interested in hearing your comparison of those SO-4s vs. the Extreme contact tires.
So, it ended up being 61 degrees in NJ today. Which is really warm for November, so I was actually able to push the car. I can tell you that I no longer chirp 1-3rd gear, 265/40 all around provides adequate traction. Steering feels more planted so to say, and tire noise is minimal. I'm happy with this setup so far.
Finally got my ATI Super Damper crank pulley, should be installing it in the coming weeks. Also starting to source together parts for my Stillen Supercharger build. Hoping to have the car done by June if everything goes as planned.
Finally got my ATI Super Damper Pulley installed!!! Already notice reduced NVH, especially on cold-starts. This will be super helpful when I get a 19lb flywheel and CF driveshaft. I also swapped out all my ugly interior lights for Xenon Depot LEDs. Definitely recommend this company. Top notch service.
