NISSAN GTR

Selling an R34 GTR Gear knob for $110 has general marks but still works perfectly they are $300 new Located in Adelaide can post anywhere for FREE , Pm if interested Heres some pics :-) Thanks , Mark

Bendix ultimates are dusty little buggers

For my R32 i bought mine for compliance from supercheap auto darlington , they can order in or they can supply you with an adjustable LED

All we need here is the NUR colour

This is the reason most imports come into Queensland directly from Japan , i found so many cars that were registered in QLD with no ADRs done "AT ALL "no side intrusion bars or seat belts how f...ck does this still happen . Pisses me off when you bring a car into S.A and get butt raped .

Its the Colour , not a fan

TEH GHEY

Its because you running 19s this is very common problem when you get greedy

Pm'd

What country ?

+ 1

This is the best way by far , dont f...k around using a capful here and there = use at least a handful straight on the paint all over the car

Dont paint your rims yourself , i just get my sets sandblasted and powdercoated , the finish is amazing and hard wearing . Ring Oleg at HWH Powder Coaters Edwardstown , Oleg sandblasted and powdercoated my work VS-XX for $90 each - Heres my thread http://www.skylinesa...iece-work-rims/

Pour the product/solution all over the car when wet " not mixed " Perfect system with no scratch

If your using stock callipers use DBA 4000

its a shame when you have such a wide rim and a car that can have deep lip , both these rims lack depth in lip and look like they should be on a corolla . Just go for the Enkeis not the lookalike TE37s

DBA can custom make any size , mainly depends on rim and caliper fitment

Wow they need some T.L.C Nice Work !!!!!! Its surprising how well that little red disk works in the barrel , i had to use a chisel and remove wheel weight stickers and work stickers off Earlier i dont think i mentioned using grease and wax remover as a last step for prepping to paint , this is pretty important with aluminium .

Here you go mate , my thread http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/406167-require-r34-service-schedule-100k/page__p__6475410__hl__require%20r34%20service%20schedule__fromsearch__1#entry6475410

Gonna look amazing !!!!!! Cant wait

Cheers everyone for the positive comments . Happy seal , i also was deciding if powder coating/anodising the lip was such a good idea sure it looks great but if you get some rash , then what ? I so want to see your pics , any questions happy to help .......

I had been looking for a couple years for an ideal set of rims and with some patience i finally found a set of pearl white VS-XX rims 18X10 +22 for my R34 GTR . When they arrived from interstate they were in poor condition , 2 rims the lips had been buckled with water marks , all rims had severe scaring and inner barrells pitted from worn brakes and faces had major stone chips . Damn !!!!! I had never attempted this before to this extent so i started off with a 12 point socket with extension bar and pulled all the assembly bolts apart one by one = 160 in total ………. some of the bolt heads damaged from previous owner and had to be cut off with grinder - 10 in total . Purchased 10 new bolts from WORK U.S.A in California $50 delivered , Work Aust could only sell in 40 bolts lots for $165 I LOL'D Presto the faces popped out quite easily Heres the before pic : Note how black and farked the barrel is !!!! Before i powder coated the faces i numbered and marked each centre with a hacksaw blade to match every barrel and taped the hub face and inner lip of the centre that slots back into the barrel ----basically the the back part the assembly bolts go through . If you get powder coat on the above sections of the centre face the wheel will NOT run straight , this should remain bare metal . I got the faces powder coated in satin black (original colour) the guy from HWH Powdercoaters - Oleg and i discovered underneath the Pearl White was Green and then Black …. lol . So it was taken back to bare with sand blasting, lots of work with VS-XX pattern . Cost $90 each wheel for sandblast and Powder coat Powdercoat pic : mark vidmar Had the buckles taken out of the lips and polished with sanding paper 400 -600-1000-2000 this removed pits in the lip and water marks for final finish run over with mothers aluminium polish and power cone SHINY Shinyness Pic : The inside Barrels i spent several weeks trying to clean the pitted and brake dust stained aluminium barrel with sand paper but changed over to a nylon grinding wheel which eventually did the job this with a chisel cleaned the led weight stickers off and Work manufacturers stickers off - as these were pretty damaged = Farked Barrel cleaning pic : After barrels cleaned i painted barrels with aluminium etching paint and high temperature paint 3 coats , came up ok Pic of inner barrel painted : Next was to polish the centre caps , these had a blemish surface so i used Autosol , Meguires plastX with my DA polisher in a vice , also polished each assembly bolt separately with Autosol . Pic before and after : I bought a torque wrench with some medium hold thread locker and began the tedious job of bolting the faces back to the barrels , started bolting at 6 o'clock , 12 o'clock , 3 then 9 respectively so on and so on all the way around . Torque settings are 18 lb ft for a 7mm bolt Pics completed : U[ Hopefully my experiences can help someone else on this forum who is thinking of refurbishing their rims as well ……... Original price for Rims $ 1800 after work spent $600 Also bought some Work Royal Lock Nuts Will post pics on car !1

Interesting how there is no mention of water pump replacement though , will replace anyway and bang some cam gears on should make a difference !!!! Thanks Terry and Rocky , your posts made me more confident i am doing the right thing here .

Wow that chick is crazy hot like your Supra !!!!!!!
