while we're oogling over them cars... I've got a set of Watanabe RS8's on my Corolla (2 or 3 piece I believe) does anyone know if Watanabe manufactures custom outer rim sections (so that I can increase the width of the rim, while keeping the inner half n centre the same).

Funky,

There is a guy called Oz Wheels in Leppington that will custom spin anything you want for about $160/200 per side. Any width, any diameter. If you want I'll get you his number and address, I have his business card at home somewhere. I can take some pics of his work and post them if you like. As soon as I get my internet connection up again, Telstra f@#ked up the speed change connection yesterday.

He spins rims for Simmonds for sizes they don't do anymore, makes a lot of Porsche Cup wheels.

I had him rework a set of BBS Lorinser wheels for my PNV. Made 2 x outers for rear and 2 x inners for front making 8's all round. That's 4 rims for $800.00

Cheers, D

OK Guys,

The pics below are what I had done by Oz Wheels.

P1080001 is the side view of my new inner rim

P1080002 is the back view of same new inner rim

P1080003 is the side view of my new outer rim

P1080004 is the front view of same new outer rim

In the deal you get the outer rim polished and in my deal of 2 outers & 2 inners I replaced the bolts.

All up mine cost $800.00, it may be a little cheaper if using existing bolts, but as these are going to be my track rims I figured the investment worth while.

Cheers, D

I'll give him a call sometime next week... got money tied up atm so can't act on it immediately. Just for reference, would you happen to have "before" pics of the same rims?

Also does he mill out new halves or does he weld in and extension piece to elongate or cut a band and rejoin to shorten?

Don't follow Funky,

The front face rims were made up because one of the outers was stuffed and he didn't have the profile for BBS Lorinser rims.

The outer with the new inner is original if that's what your referring to and vice versa on the others. The original bolts were six pointed star headed instead of button head caps.

And talk to him about the mods you speak of, as I don't know for sure.

Cheers, D

      Hypergear ATR45 SAT Turbo With addons (brand new - never used)

      By Danowner · Posted

      Yeah pretty impressive hey, good to see quality products not over-shooting their prices. That's what drew me to buy the hypergear turbo, just a shame I've never got the chance to see it in action

      Thank you GTSBoy and MBS206 I have done the compression test with the motor out of the vehicle, reason for the test was to see if I needed to remove the head and do rings etc while its out. I'm in the process of respraying the vehicle and tidying up a few things. Story behind it all is I've just purchased the skyline and it was running when I got it, never drove it on the street though as I wanted to pull it down and do it all up again before registering it. the gentleman I purchased it from told me the motor has a forged bottom end and has a decent tune through it but I was going to pull the sump off anyway to see if it is a forged bottom end. that's why I thought id do a compression test beforehand.

      Man, I'm kind of amazed that the price of the turbo has not changed in 7 years. Everything else is inflating beyond reason, but not this? Good on Tao / hypergear I guess? Anyways, good luck with the sale!

      Hypergear ATR45 SAT Turbo With addons (brand new - never used)

      By Danowner · Posted

      I'm selling my brand new, in the box, never used Hypergear ATR45 - and I had some additions I paid for a few yrs back when I purchased it. Never ended up having the rest of the money to add all the mods at once, so I just ended up slowly selling each part. I originally had it internally gated, with the dump pipe, however I found it was incompatible with what I was going to use it for, so I contacted (I think Ken) from Hypergear, and he and I messaged back and forth & he got me to ship the turbo back, where they modified it & made it externally gated, and gave me the 5 bolt dump pipe attachment for custom welding. (Photos below) This turbo like I said has never touched the inside of an engine bay, it's completely brand new, never used, been sitting in the same box it arrived in, covered in plastic & all. Below are the photos of it: And while the guys at Hypergear were making it in-shop, they sent me some photos of the process: I'm looking at selling this just because I'm in need of the money right now, and don't have plans on modifying the 34 anytime soon - and from reviews & peformance sheets, this turbo had amazing results back when I was researching. The turbo was purchased in 2018 for $1.9k, with the mods I got added on. Looking at the website now, for the same turbo they sell (ATR45SAT), with the current addons it adds up to $1830 for the turbo Current addons included: - Bolted dump adaptor - Ball bearing CHRA - Braided oil feeding line So I'm looking to possibly sell it for around $1800, with shipping included in that 1.8k, It cost me around $120 to ship - so yeah thought I'd throw it out there and see if anyone was interested in purchasing. Cheers!
