I'm looking at the Project Kics 15mm.

Yup thats what I got. No complaints.

Try Pro Speed Racing, VividRacing Australia, Blair's Tyre Service and Import Monster if you need anything. You could probably also check out Bullet Proof Automotive who also ship to Australia and they are a vendor here.

EDIT: I found some drift rims for you, since the other ones you bought don't fit. You can get them from Blair's Tyre Service, they are called GMAX Drift 6, it is what you see most Skylines have. You can get them in 17x7.00 to 17x9.00, there are also some gun metal ones, along with white ones. Also where did you buy your strut tower bar and exhaust?

I ended up ordering some H&R spacers so I can just run the regas. Love them too much. I purchased my all my Cusco products through an Australian importer and the zorst through 86 speed factory. Will checkout those wheels.

Yeah? They installed my coils and exhaust. Look at the third pic on my first post.

Hey man - this is jesseriv from Instagram. Your car is looking great! I've looked through this journal before, but didnt realize this was you until now.

Any luck on finding new wheels for the BBK? I just found a set of NSX spec regas that I want... we'll see

Thanks for the kind works dude. Yeah I'm pretty happy so far.

I looked at getting a new set of wheels but I couldn't seem to find anything aggressive enough in an 8 or 8.5. The faces of wheels that narrow all seemed to look too weak. All except for my regas. In the end I decided to just order 30mm H&R hub centric spacers which are yet to arrive. They should allow me to run the brakes on the wheels I really didn't want to get rid of in the first place.

What are the specs on the regas you found?

Awesome... Glad you're keeping them!

They are NSX Spec - 17x9 +38 Rear, 17x8+35 front. The only downfall is that they are 5x114.3, so I will have to run an adapter.

They were just delivered yesterday! It'll probably be a bit until I put them on the car though.

Thanks buddy.

Unfortunately they don't fit my current wheels unless I'm running spacers to which I ordered and the wrong ones were shipped! Now the correct ones are out of stock. Hopefully will have them on soon. Stay tuned.

Here's a few snaps and a short vid from a recent drift event I entered. It was only the third time I've drifted the car on the track but it performed really well despite the lack of HP. Definitely want a turbo or supercharger now. Currently researching options as I don't want to lose the reliability factor.

Only downer to the weekend was getting hit in the rear by someone doing the wrong thing. I was devastated. Lucky it's only the rear bumper that need to be replaced. On a positive note, I think the car looks pretty badass with a few battle wounds. At least know one can call me a hard parker anymore...

Ps.

No Tom's tails were harmed in the drifting of this car

Yup. We weren't sure if any of the clips were damaged and taped it up to be safe. It happened on the first day of the weekend to which I wanted to continue drifting that arvo/next day.
