hehe great feedback guys,

honestly im not too sure, i like the look of all of them, i do understand the argument though,

if i get rotas this is a possible conversation at carwash:

Colin/brandon/all others/new guy etc : oh adam sweet rims man, u shuld get the volk sticker on them bro would look better

Adam: nah bro theyr not te37s they ROTA GRIDS 18x10 + 15 , from england, theyr not fakes designed pretty well cost me quite a bit as well

Colin/brandon/all others/new guy etc : theyr still te37 replicas bro, you FAIL LOL , look nice though

XD9 conversation

Colin/brandon/all others/new guy etc: nice rims adam, cant say multispokes suit the 33 as well as the 32, but oh well theyr Works, better than ROTA's

Adam: thanks bro. sorry i gotta get back to cleaning the 50 spokes that i have now LOL

i guess the big f**k up would be if i end up spending close to 3.5 grand and then not liking the rims, the xd9s have dish, but they sort of only look right if i u look at them from a certain angle, i would consider real te37s but money is a factor and also the 18x10.5 +15 in te37s dont look as concave as the ROTA GRIDs,

so real dilemma here, other option would be just get the suspension kit, and see how the advans look, XD9's have 6 to 8 weeks delievery time, whereas rota are ready to shop now should arrive very soon, BIG MT, have u seen that thread where some guy on SAU tested the shit out of GRIDs on a R35 GTR on a track, and then got them xrayed and they wil perfect, no cracks or dents,

fml.

Dont worry. We wouldnt. Actually we will only say something if you did put the stickers on.

Cheap Rays. But then again, the thin spokes doesnt really agree to my opinion of rims on 33s.

Some euro love?

ive jst been reading up on rota's, with works ofcourse you dont really need to,

this is what ive found,

its either you love them or hate them, theres no middle ground, some people think theyr cheap rip offs and break easy, others have prooved they dont and theyr more than replicas, ROTA has taken alot of time engineering them, and offering better offsets at good prices, but theyr cast wheel not forged so are abit more susceptible to breaking,

not very popular with GTRs here in australia, but having a look at aht GTR UK forums lots of people are running them without any problems,

lets crank the debate up,

ROTA GTR (LMGT4) vs ROTA GRID (Te37) both in white same size and offset 18x10 +15

yeh il be getting them through the trader on SAU Steanzo-ROTA_OZ or sumthn, hes runs cartel-online.com,

official disturbutor of ROTA rims in AUS,

okk - id call around before you go thru him, option 1 would be able to do you a wheel and tyre package - dave and i dealt with them on monday - excellent customer service

and im pretty sure joshie hits them up too

Rota GTR then if you really want them so badly. I'm sure the whole point of us not likely rota is simply because they're replica, meaning imitations. I'd much rather get second hand ones than get replica myself but that's just me (which is why I got mine second hand). But hey, with the argument of being stronger because its forged, it doesnt bother me because I doubt I'll ever drive in a way or make that much power to destroy the rims. Just for your info, those CR Kai I had before were sold to my friend for 1.5k, so these rims really only cost me 1.7k.

Anyway, I thought you like your rims? Why spend 3k+ on new ones when you dont have any issue with the current ones? I'm sure theres better places to spend that money on.

ok, 1750 vs 1440

up to you

ill stay out

geesh is that option1? and same offset and size?

if so then i cnt repply complain, thats bloody cheap for brand new rims.

oh yeh brandon someones sellin 19x10.5 +11 VOLK GT-C for 3000 LOL, what do you think,

and the rota p45r are 360each and they come in 18*9.5+12

Yea. Option 1's got the cheapest tyres you can ever get in Brisbane. Just make your mind up whether you want Feds or KU (either way they're still the cheapest in Brisbane).

Tris: thats my recommendation for your 180 ages ago. If I've got a drift spec car, the 57d in fluoro orange or yellow would be my pick. Hahaha. Full on attention seeker. And considering they're less than 2000 delivered from streeter, definitely 1 of the cheapest Rays around.

If this is what I think it is, that guy f**ked up and bought the wrong faced GT-C. That model cannot clear your brembos man. If not, GOOD BUY!

Back on the Rotas, get the fattest's please for that kinda price. No 9.5 unless thats the only width they've got.

265s are fine on a 10.5 inch rim. not a big stretch at all.

colin yours are 18x10 + 18 right? biggest offset u cn get in XD9's?

how do the 265s feel? any rubbing at all? and how much lower is the car from standard height?

i dont want the rims sticking too much, my mate got defected for it lol, but i thnk his were stretched quite alot.

    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
    • OK, if it idles at 1000+ with the AAC, its not an idle airflow problem. The cold start valve just gives extra air when the engine is cold, but you have enough air without it to idle at 1000. I think you are back to a fuel problem, sorry. Can you see the fuel pressure staying constant or does it drop as the revs drop to a stall?
