Yakozan's JDM Spec-R

[Yakozan]

how much did they cost u??
and how do u find them

Bought them off yahoo auction with help from a japanese contact

Final price was 171100JPY (?773)
I think there is freight on top of that.

Not to bad considering these rims had nearly new tires and was just a couple of months old.

how long till you get the new wheels?

how long till you get the new wheels?

no idea. Shipping hasn't been booked yet. It has to be delivered locally in Japan and fitted to the freight item
probobly about 40-60days.

Kinda interested in how the offset turns out on the car.

By using the offset calculator my new wheels will have 7mm less inner clearance and 19 retract on the outer position compared to your old Work wheels.
So they might stick out just a tiny bit or it'll be perfect

I'm thinking that it will be very very close to hiting the strut without spacers in the front.
My 8J offset +35 just clears it with 215tires. Might need a small spacer for the new wheels.

have no idea about the rears, they will probobly stick out a couple of mm, but inner clearance shouldn't be a problem.

Edit:
by looking at nicelys spec. The front should clear unless mine is lower.
Rear should stick out, but I have no camber-arms yet so I'm running more camber. Should work out fine.
I'll just get the arch rolled whenever I fit rear camber arms and coilovers

Whats the widths/offset ?? I know you have said but i forgot

Whats the widths/offset ?? I know you have said but i forgot

8.5J +30 all around. 225/40R18 tires

 

[Topper]

I'm betting they will stick out at the rear :nod:, Nicely has 8.5J ET32 and they would be fine if it werent for the spoke shape :nod:, the rims fits perfect, but the curve pulls the spoke out.

Of course, i hope they do fit as i think they will look sweet :nod:

Some new pics of the rims which now has landed with my jap contact.
Also some pics of my new Skyline which is going to be used as a cargo holder for the rims

 

[A'PEXi]

be sure to get some pics once the te37's are on

what size fittings/lines did you get for the catch can? looks nice :thumbs:

 

[Yakozan]

Will do

The braided hoses for the catch tank is Earls hoses. size 10.

But I really recommend looking at another brand and a bigger size. 11 or 12 should do it.

Earls is expensive as feck. The hoses ended up costing me about 2 catch cans.
Size 10 fits...... But you'll have to use alot of violence..... Alot of it.

Any braided lines should do the trick. It's mostly for bling anyway

I have removed my catch can and the hoses temporarily.
Got a strange noise with it fitted. Might not be fully seized. Will look into it this winter and refit it.

 

[Topper]

Wheels look really good mate :thumbs:

 

[Yakozan]

I gotto stop spending on the S15. I'm not totally sure that I will be able to afford VAT and registraton for the Skyline if I keep this up :wack:

Got another oil-cooler now.
The same as I had before and it should be the same as the Apex group-buy one or very similar.

Will look for an inline thermo this winter before fitting.

Also got K-sports rear camber arms

And stock fog-lights from nicely on the way

 

[kieran]

where did you get that oil cooler from then yakozan?

I bought is second hand, but never used. Cost me ?145

[Yakozan]

Some pics from the latest show I attended.
I lend the car out to a Drifting guy here in Sweden who used to have a Silvia S13. He has a white S15 Spec-R on the boat from japan now

SSR wheels are back on. I think the car looks heaps better with them on compared to the black BBS ones
Also removed the rear indicator tinting.
