Hey guys,

It sure is hard to find a place that has a decent range of 17"s to choose from, that clear the Turbo factory calipers!

Have tried ozzytyres, Bob jane, Wheel revolutions and they don't have anything that i want. Keith for wheels mentioned they have a few, but I haven't checked them out yet.

Does anyone recommend a place when they were wheel shopping that has a good range? I may even consider buying 2nd hand rims, or just putting some proper bolt on spacers on my current ones...

Try Grahams SWT on Moss ST, they are pretty much across the rd from wheels revolution...what type of wheels are u chasing? Just a note, IF you are chasing wheels with big dish ur not gonna find many that will fit in OZ shops...best to chase up some jap wheels with custom offset, or look in the classifieds section and buy wheels u know have come off a skyline.

We have just recently been looking for rims and have had a pretty hard time just getting people to get back to us re prices. Apparently no one wants our money. But then we tried Tyre Zone at Cleveland and they have been brilliant. It's a family business and they do have a pretty good range. We have the car booked in for Friday. Their website is: http://www.tyrezone.net.au

ROH make a wheel named Drift R. Available in 17's and they have a bit of dish also.

Go to the ROH Website, then click Product Catalogue, then click Passenger (Drift R wheels can be found in there).

Here's a pic of what they look like on a S1 R33

The ROH website also has a section where you can enter your car details, select the rim size you are wanting and a list of suitable rims will be produced for you >_<

Try Grahams SWT on Moss ST,

hi, i had same issues aswell. ive also tried them all and keith for wheels, and the above quoted place. and they all seems to not be able to get the wheels i wanted either. or they were extremely expensive.

found that speedy do some wheels, with correct offsets, and brake clearences for skylines, good prices,

check out what they got here. (they also supply alot of places. i actually got kmart to order mine, and got a awsome deal on tyres aswell.

check out speedy's website here. http://www.speedywheels.com.au/

cheers, n goodluck :)

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
