Test Fitting QF’s on S13 180SX (5-stud)

Monday, 13 September 2004 | Comments (0) | Categories: Engine

As it happens, when I went into C-Red on Saturday, Joel has his 180SX in there for a service. Now Joel has a 5-stud conversion, and I've been needing to test out QF's on a 5-stud S13 with standard rear cradle (Pig V2.0 has GT-R rear end). So between work being done on his 180, I ripped the wheels out and slapped them onto the back. I'm glad I did as there is definitely a requirement for as wide a guard as possible which I think will be the 50mm guard from Wise Sports. As you can see from the photos, it's pretty evident that they'll be required - understandable really when you consider the +12 offset that these 18x10 rims have : )
