Hey Matt,

 

Did you have any clearance issues with the oil pick up after modifying the sump?

 

If So, Did you modify your pick up or use like a 5K one or something?

Well as we were originaly trialing 3k/4k/5k sumps on the 7k we had to modify the pickup in order to trial fit these sumps. Later on when we discovered that none of these fitted and modified the original it looked like it didn't need modification at all. So the stock one is still fitted but unecessarily modded slightly. Another great person to ask would be Taz_rx.

Cheers for that.

 

I might mod my sump first, then check clearance, then modify the pick up only if I need to.

Probably the best way of going about it. Let me know how you go.

Nice ride. What's the specs of the cam you got in the 7K?

Does it rev OK, compared to a 4K?

It's just a factory cam. I will only fit a lumpier cam when i go the whole hog in a rebuild. It' revs fine, especially with the twins fitted but it doesn't like anything over 5,100rpm.

Fitted the swaybar last week. Definitely improved turn in and high speed understeer.

 

Here are some pics

 

 

 

 

 

 

Also i'm am after people's opinions and advice on some wheels.

 

 

 

They are a ROTA wheel and i'm looking at a 15x7 with a +4 offset. I would definitely have some nice sidewall overhang though! Has anyone ever fitted wheels off a 240z to their rolla? Let me know what you guys think. Go to www.otomoto.com.au to have a look for yourself.

 

Matt.

The minilite/superlite style of rim looks great on most old cars, just need to have the $ for it.

Got a quote ? I think they would suit your car nicely.

Hey mate, i'm looking at about $850 just in wheels. Not sure if they will fit perfect though

Not a bad price. That for new ones ?

To be honest, most of us would have superlites if we could lol. :)

What specs are you looking at ?

Still keeping your other rims ?

Otomoto said it would be $868 for the 15"x7" in a +4 offset and yes they are new. I'll probably sell my old wheels if the right offer or oportunity came my way. Not sure yet as i'm still unsure if the offset will be correct.

PM replied. :)

 

Have a look here....

They're Konig Rewind 14x7 -9. So they sit out even further than the +4 will. Not the easiest to see with the flairs on but these are pretty flush with the guards.

Got some new shots for you guys in the meantime while i am still deciding on wheels.

 

 

 

how did u get out of the car when your parked in the middle of a F**K off sized puddle?

 

thinking you brought your wellingtons?

 

sweet picks,

the new wheels idea is cool, IMO they really only look 100% on cars with flares and dropped to the weeds.

if your coughing up 900 for them you might want to do some more measuring and reasearch.

 

cheers, scott

just make sure you get a decent offset so they fill out the guards well, your current wheels would look heaps better if they sat out a little more especially at the rear IMO
