I think you would require an offset close to ZERO...

Draven would know as he has new 17" wheels on his car...

Cheers.

hey
those who have put bigger rims on their supras, do you reckon this sized rim would fit: (F) 17X8J OFF+17 (R) 17X10J OFF+24 PCD114.3 4/5?? i know our supras need low offset but i was just wondering.
any help would be appreciated before i spend the $$$.
Spence


Don't think the rears would fit. Norbs has 17x9" with +25 offset and I think there is only mm in it

Yup, the inside of my rims are only millimetres from the trailing arms. 10" rims with the same offset will require 1/2" spacers, but then you'll have problems clearing the outer guards. With a bit of creative engineering you could make it work, but frankly I think 9" is enough!

in all honesty, I'd like to know what you've done to your car to need 10" rims Razz

my 9" rears have a suprising amount of room (+0 offset), but I think to fit 10" rims you'd have to have an offset of around +10, and you'd be fairly close to buards and suspension. and spacers are bad, mmkay?

yeah, you're right.

with an exhaust and a heavy duty clutch, he'd fry any rubber you could fit on 9" rims

argh ffs

that's on an ma70, so pretty much disregard everything that has been said spence - ma70 is a totally different offset, and will have difference clearances between suspension and guard.

Dude, get with the times.

He's putting the 7MGTE from the MA70 into his MA61

476ps? Shocked I have less than 400 and that's scary (just ask Michael). I hope some serious brake/suspension upgrades are planned before this monster hits the road!

He's right, it flies. The scary part is Norb's driving ...... Wink

Imagine what Justens car is like now with 320rwkW !!!

At the end of the day, there is a limit as to what is really useable.

i just saw these rims on yahoo auctions for under $400 and thought that they would almost fit seeing as norbie had +25 on the rear of his. if its possible then i might get them.

the 476ps is claimed engine power but i won't be using anything higher than stock boost for a while, atleast until i've done brakes and suspension and diff.

Depending on how much you'd want for the MA70 minus engine/loom/ECU + gearbox, I'd be fairly interested.

Yeah, right...

That engine looks like a standard 1JZ-GTE (Pre-VVTi) as it doesn't have the new rocker cover like the one on Buccy's (I think) converted MA61...

Is that guy letting on too much gold plated BS or is it true as it's made me interested...

Its a non-vvti, hence my sarcastic remark.

A lot of what he said is true, but just beefed up to make it sound better. Some of it is just beefed up a lot.

Yian - if you still need those airbox dimensions lemme know. I have stacks of pics on my website too.

As for the mileage, no typo there. I got from the BP on Pennant Hills road (Sydney) to Ballina (QLD) on one tank! Over 950 k's! But that was leaning out a bit (13.2). Since then I've put it back to about 12.7, and I get about 850 kms on the freeway. Mind you that is absolutely babying it along at 110, with little or no overtaking.

Having looked at the pics properly the second time, the top, side and back looks fairly straight forward and I should be able to sort those out. I noticed that there are 2 rivets holding the 'top' plate of the box down. How do you go about changing the filter?

Did you cover up the box completely as well (like have a bottom plate)? Was thinking along the lines of completely, or almost completely covering up the filter and having some sort of tubing helping suck cold air from outside the engine bay.

I so wished my 5M could go that distance, I only get close to 400Kms of driving @ 110kph when I went to Shepperton and back to Melbourne once...

The rivets are actually alen key bolts, so it's a very simple matter to remove. 1 bolt and 2 alen keys and the whole heat shield comes off. As for removing the filter, it's one of those cleanable ones. 4 bolts to remove the pod and compressed air to blow out the inside of the pod and I'm done.

I don't have a bottom plate for the airbox though. The shield extends down right to the body, so the bodywork makes up the "bottom plate" as such. There's a nice big hole down there too, to get fresh air up form the guard.

hey
i'm just in the process of fixing up a few things on my car which included repairing a dent in the quarter panel not caused by me. that thing is an absolute bastard to get off and get back on again. the number of bolts that needed to be taken off is rediculous.
just thought i'd mention it.

Certainly very dishy, but not sure about the 16" front and 17" rear combo ?

Re the ImportBitz turbo combo - no personal experience with the kit per se, but John (at ImportBitz)is brilliant. A big thumbs up for him Cool

Speaking of dish, here is some of my new dish and hoping to get 1" wider rear hoops to make them 9"

Modified cars are never hassle free. From what I have seen, you haven't had any real issues yet ?

Hey guys,

Can anyone in Sydney do us a favour? I need something to be inspected before I throw the money in the sellers direction. Some things picture just can't show, so yeah... If anyone is able and willing, I'll shoot some $$ your way too for your troubles.

How many active MA61 users are on these forums ?

Seems to be a lack of posts compared to other models, not that I can talk Razz

Im currently shopping for a cheap, straight MA61 for a project car, however Im in Tassie so any travel to collect and drive back needs to add up.

How many active MA61 users are on these forums ?

Seems to be a lack of posts compared to other models, not that I can talk

Im currently shopping for a cheap, straight MA61 for a project car, however Im in Tassie so any travel to collect and drive back needs to add up.

Cheers

There's a fair few of us. From what I have noticed, and you probably have too, is that MA61 owners tend to be 'anti-social' Razz
But as far as advice goes, Norbie and Baaachy are the men to ask...

I think you would be surprised, a few days before I left for Melbourne there was a silver one in Hobart for only $2750.

Keep them eyes peeled !! Very Happy

I've just realised I've been thinking it but hadn't said anything. I like your wheels Michael. I think the ones on that white car, while having the "oooh" factor of being new and shiny, look shit.

well, unlike the other model-dedicated threads, us MA61 owners actually spend most of our time a) at work and b) modifying our cars. norbie, nathan, mike, joorsh, ed and me are all in the middle of building our cars (in varying states of completion and legality)
