do a chop with white wheels. i'm not convinced that white will look good against yellow.

the other problem is i dont like black wheels either.

so basically, i got nuffin'.

unless you wanna go for a shadow/chrome dish, or something like that. then i'm with ya.

these wheels look good imo - http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...st&id=62463

white is teh sex.

thanks Tony.

im getting the rims but i definatly want white on there somewhere. i might replace the blue strip with a white strip or just get it cut back and polished.

for $300 with tyres, you cant go wrong.

theyre 17x9 so i'll mainly be getting them for grip.. i lose too much traction :P

I like wheels with contrast color.

i sprayed my r32 stockers white, looks good when they are clean, but after like 2 days, you get either road grime or brake dust on em and they look SHIAt!! and im assuming that applies to all white rims!! so if u do it, then be prepared to give em a wipe every 2 days. (WORTH IT THOUGH)

by the way, i saw your yellow r33 at that harry's hotdogs on saturday a week ago, looks awesome man!! love the body kit!!

cheers,

daniel

what i want to do is spray the black parts white, then get the blue part around the edges polished. cleaning isnt a problem cause my car is always dirty, so i wont bother.

man i love harry de wheels... im there as often as i can be.

where were you?

a really dodgy pic of my car when i bought it. it has the white enki rims same as the ones your gettin. personally i prefer bigger rims. i plan on sellin these soon

haha, check out the lift kit! good thing its sittin low on coilovers now!

    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
    • Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.
    • also possibly backed up to my filler and shat down it! 🤣
    • Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
