I'd go for at least 17" or 18" on the rear.....12" seem a bit small to me!!!:coolgleamA:

Rare? I love subtle things like this and the way it can make such a big difference to the look of the overall car (one of my favourite features on my later spec GTR was the Ganador's I sourced from Japan)

A little update as I managed to get a few days in the car.
Replaced the alarm and it's working just got to sure in the intellistart.
Picked up some new boost pipes which the colour coding suggests they are HKS ones
Japspeed decats went on
Redline MT-90 oil change on the gbox
Millers fully syn has arrived for the engine oil change
Engine fired up a little lumpy and troublesome to start with but a few tweaks and got her running pretty much spot on.
Got an oil leak though from the turbo returns as the ones that were fitted were not perfect for the HKS tubs looks like I'll be ordering from the US this week


Oh and I took a few pics of the engine build I've got for the track that I'm looking at selling as I've had another plan
here is a taster


I spent far too much time out on the bike as the weather was ok
Got a couple more days at the end of this week but doubt my bits will be in from the US so won't be able to start the engine and get her rolling
I am on the hunt now for wheels as I need 12" rears and 9s ideally front but I may be able to make things fit over that so if anyone hears of any I'm interested

Finally got the intellistart wired in yesterday and it works on a quick test 
Waiting on expedited oil pipes from the US now for my turbo oil returns.
Today I will be cracking on with installing the push start button and then the rest of the interior
There is finally an end in sight as soon as that drivers seat goes in.
