I'm assuming you had to run some sort of spacer to fit the Weld AlumiStars you have on the front ?

Any reason you went this route over getting the RT-S for the front as well ?

I have the 18" RTS wheels for the car, ran them last year. Im really not sure if the alumastars helped much or not? But they are 10 lbs lighter a piece! Used a 1.5" spacer.

thanks

WOW !!!!!!! 10 lbs a piece lighter than the RT-S 18x4 (I'm assuming) ?
That just for the wheel, or did that also include the tire for the 10 lbs difference ?

1.5" adapter is manageable ....thanks for the info !!!! :thumbs:

Awesome shifting, tr6060?

Fifedogg 05-02-2013 12:09 PM

Thats Awesome! You should post this video on both the GTR and GT500 Forums LoL. I would love to see what they have to say. In fact you should put GTR and GT500 in the video description so more people can see what can be done with a nitrous Z setup properly with a good driver.

Thats just amazing to do in a 6 speed car!

darkbluez 05-02-2013 12:31 PM

Haha, Im sure there will be some haters, but oh well. Its actually an 06 car, still has the stock t56 in it.
