old wheels!

191120054py.jpg

New wheels, Ok well, they are not that fab. They are just stock R34 GTT wheels without the centre caps. For now the caps are on, but i like it without the caps. Ill find something to cover the hub as i think it looks tough. $550 for the four, in damn good condition.

Wrapped in 225/45/17 Hankook Ventus K104's (my first new set of tyres) $165 each fitted and balanced

Now, only to lower the front 1 or 2 circlip grooves, castor/camber bushes/rear dust covers and a wheel alignment and i am...DONE with suspension :)

When/If in future i decide to get new wheels, Advan Racing RG's in gold, but for now the standard wheels will do. I think silver or gold suits a white car well!

Will let everyone know about improvements over the next few days, maybe we should have a stagea specific tyre thread as we do carry around a few 100 extra kg's then skylines?

Actually, there where a few different wheels on the R34.. On my R34 GTX I've got the (factory standard) AVS 5 spoke ones (8 inch rims), not the standard nissan 6 spoke ones that Alex now has.. I'll put a pic up soon (I'm in the middle of shifting the web hosting of my sites...)

Wow AC, great value for sure, for that price..... geez! Ive been 'looking' for R34 GTT wheels, but couldnt find anything for anywhere near under $1000.

So, Stagea owners, if you hear of some R34 wheels for sale for a 'decent' price, please let me know (if you dont want them that is).

Thanks in advance, Brendan

siick :)

they are nice wheels for sure :)

Cheers, yeah Im real glad I saw the add from Satanic maybe 5mins afterhe posted them for sale. LOL

Pretty sure I will have the rubber taken off, 1 rim repaired from gutter rash, and then head to our business's powdercoaters for a gunmetal grey powdercoat finish, I think.

Then save for new tyres, so it wont happen too quickly (my wife just got robbed today) due to cash constraints, but thats neither here nor there I guess.

    • So I'll put filler past the repair area a bit to make sure I don't miss anything. Then I'll block it until it's almost level, put the guidecoat, then keep blocking until it's gone. Then it's still wavy.  In regards to hitting the panel, I saw this video might give more context - Skip to 0:47 he knocks it down. But yeah I'm sanding until the guidecoat is gone then checking because otherwise my filler is still well above the bodyline. Unless what you're saying is I should put guidecoat around it early, surrounding the filler then stip once it's gone?
    • I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.
    • Stop looking at the garage floor, and turn the radio up a bit louder if there's any strange noises...
    • No. Turbo shuffle and surge/flutter are not the same thing. Specifically, on a GTR, turbo shuffle has a definite meaning. On a GTR, the twin turbos are assumed to be the same thing and to operate the same way, exactly. In reality, they do not. Their exhaust sides are fed and exhaust a little differently, to each other. Their inlet sides are fed and exhausted a little differently, to each other. Consequently, when they are "working" they are often at slightly different points on the compressor map compared to each other. What this means, particularly when coming on boost, is that one of them will spool up and start producing extra flow compared to the other, which will put back pressure on that other compressor, which will push the operating point on that other compressor up (vertically). This will generally result in it bumping up against the surge line on the map, but even if it doesn't, it upsets the compressor and you get this surging shuffle back and forth between them That is "turbo shuffle" on a GTR. It is related to other flutter effects heard on other turbo systems, but it is a particular feature of the somewhat crappy outlet piping arrangement on RB26s. There are plenty of mods that have been attempted with varying levels of success. People have ground out and/or welded more material into the twin turbo pipe to try to prevent it. Extending the divider inside it works, removing material doesn't. There are aftermarket replacement twin turbo pipes available, and these exist pretty mush purely because of this shuffle problem.
    • You can temporarily* use lock collars to keep it in place until you can do the bushes, back the nuts off, slide them in, snug back up. *temporarily is often for ever
