Newman's E30/Skyline swap thread

[newman]

For the lotus?

Wait and see... not super baller, but definitely some serious fitment... you guys will probably dig...

[Philo]

So what did you end up getting for it?

[newman]

Yeah, I wanna run something kinda different tho... I have seen them a few times...

I ALMOST bought TE37s... I just can't spend that much on 1 piece wheels... it was gonna be like 3600 shipped no tires...

Yeah. I Love TE37s on that Lotus though. Looks SO money. And they are a good wheel.... pretty stinkin' pricey though.

[newman]

Gotcha. Kinda surprised it's 4x100.

Run some volks! :D

It's 4x100... i want some dope ass "around town" wheels and nothing good comes in 4x100...

I can swap all 4 hubs in less than an hour, so it's not like it's hard to go back...

Haha... i don't think coilovers are in my near future... maybe eventually...

My next project is converting my lotus to 5X114.3...

I have hubs on the way from germany, that I'm going to modify... my wheels for that will be here on monday... the hubs are a few weeks out, tho...

Coilovers or bust Newman.

Is it level? Looks like the arse sits high.

Also, if you fab a center bumper strip that doesn't have the license plate frame, it would look better. And I would want one also.

It sit's a little high in the rear, but I had JUST let it down off some jack stands... I gotta see what her manners are before I star changing stuff.

So awesome.

Home... sorry for the lousy pics... Now I'm just waiting for the weather to break...

[newman]

I bet you peed yourself a little bit when you did the first pull on the road.
I may have missed it but what kind of internals does the rb have? Dont most of those guys run in the high 20's psi wise?

I have Wiseco pistons and eagle rods, an oil drive collar and Ferrea springs and retainers...
