datsunfreak Posted October 1, 2007 Report Share Posted October 1, 2007 2eDeYe;19445']Nice truck you got there.You should start a build thread of your own ;) +1 ;) Never heard back what kind of wheels those are either... :confused: Quote Link to comment
Roostmonkey Posted October 2, 2007 Report Share Posted October 2, 2007 I did start my own thread but I thought I'd get answers faster in this one. I talked to Dan at DGR and got my answers first hand. He's a good guy, and is willing to help me out when I need it. Quote Link to comment

makibaka Posted October 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2007 Konig Countersteers 16x8 bought from Dustin at JLB: How the trucks sits with 225/50 tires in front and 245/50 in rear: Front Passenger side: Rear Passenger side: Rear driver side: I didn't take pics of the front driver side because the fender is smashed and wouldn't give a clear idea of fitment with a straight fender (fitment would be same with the passenger side anyway). You can tell from the pics that my rear axle is sitting a little towards the passenger side. I wanted to keep my 245s for the rears (need meat for all that turbo traction goodness), but a 225 looks best (can't find a 235/50 for the life of me!). 225s in the front will work with a little bit of negative camber, fender rolling, and maybe a little bit of fender pulling outwards. 215 or 205 would fit better if the camber's going to be 0. Rolling fenders is a must either way. Looks like I'm getting closer and closer to having to do a balljoint dropped spindle set-up and coilover conversion... Small preview of stuff being sent out for powdercoat. Useless ports chopped, holes filled and blocked smooth, custom AN fittings for the breather, + more. Big update coming soon after everything's reassembled Quote Link to comment
makibaka Posted October 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2007 Is it just me or is the internet slow today? Took me 20 minutes just to do two posts! Quote Link to comment
tnip Posted October 24, 2007 Report Share Posted October 24, 2007 thanks for the update man, looks good. i like the valve cover as is, that swirled metal look. i'm sure however you have it done will look great. Quote Link to comment
808DA6 Posted October 24, 2007 Report Share Posted October 24, 2007 Dood, that thing is looking awesome! Please tell me you're going to bring it to the JCCS next year. My wife and myself are planning out our trip for next year and I'd love to see this thing. Any profile shots w/ the wheels on? ;) ~Brian Quote Link to comment

Any profile shots w/ the wheels on? ;) ~Brian It was hard to get side shots with it wedged between the other projects. These are the best I have so far: Stupid chrome lugs nuts 7/16-20 lugs nuts have no variety :mad: Some hard anodizing might help though :D I hope to make it down to JCCS next year. Definately want to hit up all the local meets/shows up here... BTW, still working on those Nissan part numbers for the weatherstrip and window regulator stuff. I've been crazy busy the last couple of months... Quote Link to comment

Gensaiken Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 those wheels look so good on that truck. I think I might have to add this to the list of possible rims to buy.. think they'll fit on a stock 521 with out any special modification? Quote Link to comment
