now looking into Work Emotion XD9's (not sure if i should get grey or bronze?)

Anyone know what sort of offsets are needed to get a 10inch wide rear rim on a gts-t? I dont mind if the guards need minor lipping.

thanks craig....thats a pretty handy site!

I think the work rims Im after only come in +18 & +38 in the 10inch range? so I'm hoping one of them will fit. I've just emailed WORK themselves to ask.

Do you have any photos of your car on here? need to figure out what'll suit my car best...bronze or grey. They'd both look good...thats the problem.

I was just going through the deca photos I've collected and bronze looks dark in most shots. Its going to give off a fairly similar overall look. The grey or the bronze, just personal choice in the end.

yo Berin...

yeah I dont like the XD9s on the web page but looked wicked as we discussed on the w/e.

Not to expensive from memory either...bronze would be good IMO. Might get some myself LOL

yeah I never even considered them till I saw them on Shanes GTR....they look great in person. An as you say, i think there gonna be very well priced, so they've got a lot going in there favour.

keep in mind they had that much dish because they're suited to the GTR...so unless you're gonna get GTR spec widths/offsets, they probably won't look like that...its like TE37's on some R34 GTR's have dish and look even sexier than just normal TE37's...

ahh yeah...i did look into those, but was told only available in 17's at the time (about 3-4 weeks ago). May have to consider em again.

Yeah I know Dezz, thats why I want 10's on the rear, not too concerned on the front, so long as theres an inch or more on the front, I'm happy.

driftteks , they are now available in 18's and in silver bronze or black.. cost around 320 per rim aswell

are you sure they're available in 18" only has 17" on that site

EDIT: even koya.com.au only has 17"

searched ns.com, no luck. checked out cj motor trader, nothing. Started a thread in the general section, and no one has heard of them in 18" now.

could you find what you find by any chance? get a link maybe? because i'm VERY interested...

    • Oh dear. The panel beating needs to be done before the filler work. Do you have a photo of the dent before you started? Hard enough to not flex and only hit the high spots?  What do you mean it was just temporary? 
    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
