i can get imported or local wheels, with rubber, for very decent prices if you like. what are you looking for?

dish, or no? how many spokes? racey, tough, or dressy? chrome, painted, matt/powdercoat, polished alloy/machined...

on a dark blue stagea.... hmmm im thinking gold, like a set of volks or something... would look nice.

photoshop time!

ps nice choice of bodykit, lol.

hmmmm... gold yeah sounds sweet ... have you got any pics ? and prices?

haha give me some suggestions as to what you are looking for, first! a vague description of what you are looking for, and ill post up a half dozen pics, with prices.

The wheels on mine are 18x8.5s, with 225s kumho ecsta supras all round, and my price for them was 1650.

genuine volks or something similar may be more expensive, of course, but ill find something similar in your price bracket if you like.

I'm thinking of either going g-max H050 17*8 +38 offset or 18*8.5 starcorp racing impul <<don't know offset yet...but rather cheap off tempetyres....what do you guys reckon? ..will the 18 inch rims fit without having to roll the guards?

nice wheels mike. I'm not really big on chrome wheels myself, I kinda like the low key street machine look with the drifter wheels. Thats why I'll prolly be going with the g-max h050...pity they dont come in 18 inch sizes tho

The starcorp racing impuls are nice looking wheels imho ...but a tad bit too heavy..and I really dont like the effect of that unsprung weight on steering feel.

thanks n15m0,

they are nice looking rims and i dont see why someone hasnt picked them up already. Unfortunately if you read through the forums...general consensus is that somehow the stagea does not like mixed width rims.

gl with the sale though

    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
