What if you have a Ings+1 front bumper? I think I will mount mine where the TMIC is after I got FMIC. What do you think about that?

I wouldn't mount that up there, what happens if there is a leak?

I think you'd still have issues with the ings bumper, maybe more since the ings bumper is fiberglass and you can't just pull the bumper.

and a lot more radiant heat.

it isn't worth it, there are too many good places to put it besides there.

also, i keep mine covered on the street, b/c if I don't the oil doesn't get above 80 degrees Celsius that's right when the Thermostat kicks in.

so it floats between 78 degrees and 82 degrees not exactly ideal oil temps.

during autox with it uncovered it doesn't go above 110

Thanks,

the wheels are actually a friends.

He's been nice enough to let me borrow them for awhile.

I did spec them out for him through CCW though.

the guys are CCW really know their ****.

if you know what size you're thinking and have a general idea of the offset you need they can make it happen.

i'd def call as they may have done a set for a GTR and have all the measurements down.

the guy i talk to is Chip.

beauty of the CCWs is if you ever want to go wider you don't need to buy all new wheels.

the face is still good just get wider hoops (and then it's a matter of fwd spacing or back spacing)

either way CCWs are awesome.

they aren't cheap, but you also don't have to wait too long for them since they are built in Daytona Beach vs. Japan.
