F/s R34 Stock Turbo
jake33 replied to Jsikalias's topic in For Sale (Private Car Parts and Accessories)

20" X 8.5 Wheels Will They Work?
jake33 replied to ShadowDrift's topic in Suspension, braking, tyres and drivetrain
i just fitted 19's on my 33 and i reckon 20s would rub on full lock, and possiblly bottom out on a bad pot hole. my cars with spacers and stock suspension. there 9.5 on the rears and 8.5 on the front. shit pic but hopefully can give you some kind of indication of sporting 20s. be sure to post some pics up if ya go ahead -
looking for one in decent condition, in melbourne can drive anywhere in melb to collect PM me cheers

spin_psycle when you getting your rims???
-
no idea if it is illegal in vic? as for the offset, i have no idea either.. im pretty sure they just used spacers for the front. the guys at tyre experts said it would sit flush, so i just went with it. definetly recommend them.
-
got them put on today (saturday) there called XIX. there a U.S brand, only been on the market in australia for a few weeks (apparently) their 9.5 on the rears and 8.5 on the front. also sporting some nice dish. fit on sweet, right inline w ith the body (lowering might be a prob..but happy with it for now.) just needed a spacer to clear the calipers. what ya's think? cheers jake
-
quick question.. will 19s fit on a standard 33. looking at getting them this weekend. workshop said "yeah blah blah not a problem blah blah.." but i dunno if they just want a sale .. thanks

BP ultimate. house is danm close to a BP.

ha whatever, the original silver on my wheels was really dirty(could not get discolour out) and scuffed so i think it looks 10 times better in black
-
check the 3rd post dude.

i used VHT quick coat acrylic enamel, its a silver can with a blue star on it. You can pick up from autobahn or wherever. SP 504 Gloss Black. did 2 coats let each dry for about 15 mins (mind you it was a sunny 30o today). yeah take the wheel off, that way you can get a good clean and spray. remember to chuck some shit down on the ground so you dont paint the ground black. i.e- newspaper or old rag
-
Just did mine then, took me all up around 2 hours, including drying. used very very fine sand paper, and a thin wire brush for the hard to reach places. came up a treat imo.
-
when you say sand them back do ya mean with a machine or just some fine sand paper use by hand. im getting 19s in a week or 2 but would mind giving it a go for now. have the next few days off. so i might give it a go. bored. cheers

Nothing Beats The Killer Sound Of A V8
jake33 replied to Pax-Ottomanica's topic in General Automotive Discussion
'ha holy shit! he rips on that thing!!" yeah its nuts. had a mate in the states who supercharged his cobra. it was insane. all over the road, and in the wet..well you might as well not drive. shame though.. all stick on plasticy fall apart dash. the build quality is pretty shit. especially when its competing against the corvette over there. -
Best Sounding Engine In A Road Car...
jake33 replied to r32line's topic in General Automotive Discussion
prob a mazda 121 at 4000rpm. makes me weak at the knees the JUN supra video that everyones seen. yellow and drifting at high speeds screamming its tits off -
on my way home today, driving my new car that im extreamly pleased with, when up ahead i see a booze bus. so of course i started shifting down gears from 60 in a 60 zone, now doing about 35km with still about 80m to go before i reach the breath testing spot. when all of a sudden a cop on the other side of the road (across from the test) walks out in front of me stops me in the middle of the road less than 10m from a breath tester and yells at me: COP: "oi mate what the hell are you doing??" ME:"excuse me sir?" COP: "what do you do when u see a booze bus?" ME: ah you slow down" sir i was doing 35/40" (in a 60 zone mind you) COP:"well get in there!" (refering to the testing lane.) so, keeping my cool i proceed to get tested everythings good no problems. then i glance back in the rear view as im leaving, and the cop that stopped in front of my car in the middle of the road is chuckling to another cop looking at me as i drive off.!! f**k i swear it took everyone part of my brain to realise that it was best to keep driving (obviously!) but seriously just because i drive an awesome car doesnt mean you have to give me a hard time about it. im off my Ps too and the car "looks" bone stock. anyone else had any discriminating people/law enforcement towards them because of their car??
-
TRUE but theres nothing better than seeing a sleek line on the road . IMO i would avoid the tacky stuck on look. but hey, good luck with it and post up some pics when ya done.

Todays Test Drive Was Bought To U By The Letter "s"
jake33 replied to R32Big_boy's topic in Victoria
they do!! last year they had a black one on BBS 19's sooo awesome! yeah mums got the S4 same engine but hasnt got all the track compontents like suspension as the RS4. give me the B4 series/model with the twin snails anyday. although the torqy v8 is awesome! -
thanks for the offer. still doing a little more research on the topic and need to organise a few other things for the car as i only got it a week ago and has taken a decent chunk out of my finances. will let you know if im intrersted down the track. cheers.
-
sweet. cheers for the feedback guys. where abouts do i find these 34 coolers in melb?? i live in the eastern subs but dont mind driving (thats why i brought the car) around.? also how much of a power gain would i expect to get over the stock 33 cooler i got now? (with the mods ive already got.) thanks. and sorry about the 20q's, its a whole new world jake
-
hmm.. any thought or recommendations of the 34 smic??
-
i go. assume your talking about bundoora. now got a white 33. we'll all have to have a after class race carpark 9 to car park 3 "the back way". joking of course! i dont want to condone any street racing
-
i thought you cant have a pod and fmic in victoria? im definetly sticking with the standard box KnN filter. R31Nismoid - not going to change turbos for now just want around a healthy 180rwkw approx, thinking an aftermarket intercooler would achieve this with the modifications i allready have. with the r34 smic(side mount intercooler?? standard mount intercooler??) is it just bigger than the 33s? cheaper than a fmic? easier to install? price? thanks jake
