Unlucky mate, I was planning to get a set of rims from Tempe but luckily my local guy is stocking them in a few weeks. I was glad because I'd save an hour trip but now I'm relieved that I didn't go there!

Anyhow heres a heads up, I saw a set of thos Velvets you're after going on NS.com so maybe these are cheaper for you.

hey man

nar its cool im gettin mine band new for 1500, 250 more then the wheels from tempe, but i dont mind, he had a set in stock he was gunna sell to me for the same price 1250, but the ofset was for a commo. to bad ey

my tyre guy ordered a set for me but they were 250 more but i dont mind payin that for a much better wheel then those gold ones.

still 1500 is cheap as chips

I hope your tyre guy is getting his money back if he was the one who purchased the rims?

I personally would only get quality japanese or european rims. At least they will be strong and better built than most of the crap that is sold here at places like Bob Jane and Tempe, etc, etc.

yeah man

it was tyre factory tingalpa phone number is 3890 5222

yeah he did get his money back or is in the process of

most of the rims in australia are made in japan anyway, just the quality is crap, and good rims cost a bundle and im not takin my car on the track so no need for super light weights or mega wide anyway.

im still getting the anz wheels and they are cold pressed which make them strong and light. im going through jax at slack creek and gettin em for 1800 but with the sale of my standards at 450 i am gettin em for 1350 so thats pritty good

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
