New Zealand Datsun Club

thanks. the wheels are 13x8.5s. no idea of the offsets to be honest

coupes rock !! by far one of the hottest datsuns around, wish mine run.

ive got 175 50 13's on my 8 inch rim an it looks nice, not too much stretch. should be fine on a 8.5 inch

yea iv seen a few 175 stretched on 8s but im not sure why mine look funny it looks like the outside of the rim could kneecap pedestrians.
this rx2/capella has 13x8.5s with same tyres as mine (yokohamas), but it looks perfect. ill see if i change my mind when i lower the front and get the tyre-guard clearance a bit better

Finally put mirrors on. Also swapped wheel centres over from the Volks mesh to some fortran centres. Fit a lot better now.
Got some sidedrafts to cheers to DatSunny, so will be building up a new engine soon.
Decided to build up some coil overs for the front end so will see how that goes. If anyone has some adjustable body s13 adjustables or an a14/15 let me know. Or some centre caps.

Dope mirrors. Wheels look wicked, you can get away with less stretch now too.

does your diff hit the floor? If I had my coupe as low as yours the diff would be hard on the floor the whole time haha.

Where did you source the flares?

I saw you towing this on a trailer heading north on ANZAC day - where is it off to?

Yea I'd love to get some off those continental 195/45r13 but will wait until I wear these out. No diff is about 5-10mm away from diff bump stop and doesn't ride to bad actually. Flares are just universals I found cheap. Foxton brand. Would like to get some small ZG flares or ones that match body a bit better. Yes Kitch you saw correct, I've moved up to chch to live so have a garage now so can finally work on it.

I like how its looking more and more like this one each day! Same mirrors as mine.
