Someone said, "Clothes Maketh The Man"

Does that translate here into "Wheels Maketh How A Car Looks?"

...understanding of course that a lot depends on the colour of the car's 'skin' !!!

First up...

Volk Racing RE30 > Titanium with polished lip on a Red R34 Combination

That's always nice! ^ ^ ^

And this beggars the Question...

Do some rims not suit the car's body colour???

Our cars are blue Owen and when my car was delivered it was shod with Bronze LMGT4s - now if they were only White > magic; but Bronze > yuk (> much s*xier on black body)

Work Meisters Defiantly!

The enkei's are nice, however i think they are more suited to WRX'S and Evos.

I'm quite a large fan of white on white, i might be somewhat biased though, Black on black is so last year :P

The guy I bought it off only put the LM GT3's on it about 6 months before I bought it; before that he had some Dolce's on it.... 19x8's. EWWWWW. Chrome doesn't suit ANY Skyline. (IMO anyway).

I guess it comes down to body shape too; I wouldn't put black wheels on any white car, but hey, some body shapes (Evo 10 maybe?) it might suit.

    • Y'know what, after reading a topic on a 360kw build using a nistune (who ended up going LINK), im now considering a LINK over a nistune. The engine protection alone would probably be worth it. And id like to learn to tune so would be nice to have that safe guard. Which means i probably wont need a boost controller then, or the R35 MAF.  Becoming a bit of a blog now but oh wells. As mentioned previously, the goal is around 300kw, for a daily driver. Will be looking at fitting a highflow turbo or similar (something that doesnt require downpipes, manifolds etc to be changed out) when the current stock gives out or the money for it is there. 
    • Thanks guys. Are you meant to tighten the converter bolts through the starter motor hole? Think my plate between gearbox and engine is one piece. Im heading up there tomorrow.
    • Picked my tailshaft up yesterday arv!! Test fit it and because they've gone to a ford centre bearing and CV I had to modify the mounting bracket a little bit. 5mm of each side and she went up into position and fits well. It has a 1350 uni and flange on the gearbox end so it should be plenty strong!  Got stuck in this morning and started on the wiring mess. Cut out all the wires not required that go to the body connector and cut the engine harness out. Need to go through and work out which ones I need to keep and rewire into the new ecu. Should save a small amount of weight as well. I'd love to get in and rip the dash and everything out to completely remove wiring but cbf.  Next up was the power harness for alternator, starter etc. It has a few connectors from factory that run out of it. Cut it all apart and removed what was no longer required and put some new corro and taped it all back up and bolted it all back into place.  After that I worked out where I can mount the new flex sensor. Found a couple of factory bolt holes and drilled a new hole on the bracket to suit. Need to go get a few fittings and adapters tomorrow so I can keep going.   
    • Nah, im after the more newer looking, one with the OLED display
    • We revised the neutral wire instructions. The old way was wrong.  R34 gearbox change.pdf
