so baskins meet for this week are we doing it tomorrow or on NYE? As previously discussed our place is open for new years if you wanna do ice cream n then get wasted n play pool? Just let us know if anyone is interested n what you want to drink. Our beer supplies have taken a hit over xmas so it will be mostly spirits lol.

f**kers get your act together n tell us what's going on!

wow this thread is active!

anyway, yes tris that is def me in my pimp hat, rode shotgun with seb on the cruise, nice car when it holds boost, only blew that cooler pipe 2 times when i was in the car, both times i burnt my hand attempting to replace the pipe. 1.2 bar then pop!

yer its true thats version 2 of his car, the old one had a tear in the firewall so he reshelled it then spent heaps of time on ebay buying dodgy shit and waiting heaps of time for his turbo to be rebuilt.

But yer long time coming, nice car though, little rough around the edges but still nice.

As for me, i have been away again, had to swim my skyline through 30cm of water today on dirt road, so glade its been raised 3cm just had that extra bit of ride height i needed to get through it alive.

so guys im thinking about geting new rims for the GTR sometime soon, bit confused over what i should get, origninally wanted XD9s but considering other options as well,

after lookin at these pics i think white XD9s would look awesome on my gtr in 18x10 + 18 offset

but also seirously considering ROTA GRID DRIFT in white 18x10 + 15, i think theyr the ones which look like the TE37s

as compared to the ROTA GTR's which look like the LMGT4's

post-47576-1262095329_thumb.jpg

what do guys think? i think the price difference is a couple of hundred , will probably be lookin at 3200 for the works and 2700 for the ROTA GRIDS with Falken 18/265's all round .

What do you guys reckon, car will also be getting the Bilstein Suspension Kit that Dan @ ERD sells, and the one i thnk Colin has,

any feedback would be appreciated,

Cheers

Adam

I on the other hand think the XD9's look fantastic, especially white rims with your purple skyline.

Not a big fan of rota, and especially since the price is so similar, may as well go for the real thing

Not a huge fan of multi spokes on 33s. I think the 5 or 6 spokes look better. still can't go wrong with works lol.

+1. 33 are FAT. They dont suit multi spokes at all. Unless you really love the rims so much, else I wouldnt recommend them at all.

I actually quite like the multi-spoke look!

Holy crap, that would have been an interesting ride

Yeah I wouldn't buy Rotas myself but not because of all those shitty pics on the net. You will find the majority of those pics are after a car has had a bad off on the track or something like that so not the best thing to look at. They will be fine for daily driving as long as you can live with having fake rims :down:

    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
    • So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.
