Ali-d1936's S15 Spec-R

[ali-d1936]

Ya learn something every day!😃😃

I have the other 40 bolts sitting in vinegar now so you will know whats better in a couple days

[ali-d1936]

Well i can say that coke is heaps better than vinegar, seemed to have a much harder time cleaning the bolts after the vinegar than the coke,

so got some bushed fully adjusttable arms


and theyll see me rolling and they will be hating



even tho i will 100% be using rear over-fenders, i still want to leave the arches in good nick that if i ever decide to take them off i can go back and run with a rolled arch so hoping i can get the arches looking like this and leaving it tight to 30mm overs,



i wont be able to get the turn down in the flare, but ill leave it in a way that i will be able to later on if i want.


also loved the shape of the vents on the Wings i bought, so incase i cant find wings with similar vents i made a quick FGR copy

rub some tin foil on the wing



start laying some fibreglass onto the foil



couple of layers to give it some strength



the let it set and pull it off



its rough so if i need it ill obvyousley build up the layers, slap on some filler and smoth her up

might not use or need it but its practise incase i ever need to do something similar:P

Just sorted these out about 5 min ago



3" Lips, meaning i have chickened out putting the 10.5 up front and have decided to promote them to the rears, :ghey:

running the 3" up front means i have the little extra bit of comfort and hopefuly ill get the +30mm Front Wings i like and they will fit snug under them

Just bought them in the states so hopefuly Next week they will be here
also bought a D-max boot lid spoiler aswell should be here next week also haven't quite decided if i shall fit it or not, but its nice to have if i get the Urge

and I got news my other set of wheels Have finnaly arrive from Japan so paid the Balance and getting them posted up Monday, sadly not for the s15, planning on getting a s14a in the next few weeks and they will look awesome on it, Same as what i have already Veilside's 18x11 -30, 18x10 -18
:notworthy:notworthy:smitten:

Cant wait to get stuck into them :P

the pic of your 11j -34 isnt working for me =[

[nikkisixx69]

to get the rear arches that flared you will need filler!! as you will kink the quarter and crack the paint with that much of a pull!

i wanna see the new wheels for the s14 !!!!!

[martycturbo]

great work!! will be keeping an eye on this

[BaileyR32]

beautiful car lad, love the wheels..

You wasted your time cleaning them bolts!
I had the same problem as you and cleaned a few bolts but was unhappy so ordered new ones, the ones I cleaned were as bad a few weeks later.

Maybe try a clear paint on the bolts to protect them

hmm, i have metal polish on them, i thought a quick wipe with a cloth with some on it once a month will keep them in shape, seen alot of info on Wheel-whores that that will be enough but if thats the case i could probably order some now before i put them all back together?

I was in the same boat as yourself, cleaned them with Coke then Jizzer then started with a wire brush! Done a few to see how they would out but was got talking to a lad who refurbs wheels and told me I was wasting my time unless I painted them after....
I had 30 bolts per wheel and 6 wheels so wasn't to keen on cleaning them anyway!

Took a pic the last day for ya
(New one, Cleaned and wire brushed old one, old one)
