I have seen lots of wheels similar to this but they arn't called Dritek the ones i've seen.

some similar ones @ http://www.musecret.com.au

http://www.lensowheels.com

I did a google search too for that name and it only came up with vaige international sites but no real results.

Hopefully someone can find u the legit ones but the ones i posted have copies which are very close.

With that first site, they are all brand name wheels. I looked at the prices, I assume they are per wheel, so for the ones i liked that over $4k for a set without tyres. That is insane, I could never justify that kind of money.

The second webiste I found a couple of wheels i liked, but they were either only available in 17" or 19".... 17's are too small and 19's are illegal. I can't believe how hard it is to find wheels. I found out the wheels i liked are koya driftek's http://www.koya.com.au/ and appear to be only available in 17". I am speechless that they dont make 18's...

Maybe try http://www.ozzytyres.com.au & http://www.tempetyres.com.au - tempe have cheaper prices cause theirs arn't all brand names.. yeha i am in the market for either 18's or 19's cause i got 17's standard and finding nice non chrome 19's @ a decent price is very hard.

Yeah, I did just find these ones:

mag_140_209_bg.jpg

They come in:

19 x 7.0 inches

19 x 8.0 inches

18 x 7.5 inches

17 x 7.0 inches

Such a wierd selection of sizes... 19 x 7.. wtf ? :wave:

but yeah at least 18 x 7.5 would do the job.

ozzy doesn't let u direct link their images better off posting link to page.

Oh, the picture showed up on my screen, well these are the rims:

http://www.ozzytyres.com.au/page.php?load=...&mag_id=140

Yep there one of the ones i was looking at as well, from memory 18" $1800 with rubber, and 19" were $2600.

Oh nice, yeah that sounds good for 18"s thats about what I was looking at. Maybe spend a little more to get some decent rubber.

Do you know what offset they are and if they will suit an R32 Gts-t? Because a set of rims i recently ordered didnt clear my brakes... :wave: The 4 pots that came with my car are quite big... good to have, but annoying to fit rims to.

Not too sure about the offset as i didn't ask i just said to the guy will it fir a r34 gtt sedan and he said yep cause the breaks a huge, so guessing that they should clear yours.

Hey dude, I have the exact wheels in that photo, I bought them from Dapto Tyrepower (Dapto is near wollongong)

They are the only place in Sydney that sells Koya I believe.

They cost $1800 with decent tyres (bargain)

From memory I searched for ages with google with keywords koya and tyres LOL until I stumbled on this place.

By the way the rims are 17inch, they don't make them in 18s so sorry about that. They still look awesome in 17s :wave:

Here's a contact number for dapto tyrepower: (02) 4261 9977

Hope this helps :pirate:

Yeah I feared that was the case with those Driftek's. Its a shame cause they are a really nice design, but I currently have 17's on my car and its not worth changing to just get a nicer design I want the biggest rims I can fit legally!

Thanks for the reply though!

Excellent!! Finally some good news. I emailed them from their website to get specific info, but im sure if they will fit your car they will fit mine. I assume your cars front calipers are 4 pot also?

Ventilated: 4 pot front, 2 pot rear

Yeah sweet. Well if clearance isnt an issue there then it shouldn't be for me. I'll have to make a few calls 2moro then to try get a set to test fit and return the others that I had a deposit on. I'll keep you posted. Thanks for your help mate, much appreciated!!!

DAMN.... THEY ARE HOT!

I dont think my car would fit 8.5 though, my mate has 18 x 8 on his and it rubs..

I ended up sanding back caliper so the original rims i wanted fit now... problem sovled

    • The other problem was one of those "oh shit we are going to die moments". Basically the high spec Q50s have a full electric steering rack, and the povo ones had a regular hydraulic rack with an electric pump.  So couple of laps into session 5 as I came into turn 2 (big run off now, happily), the dash turned into a christmas tree and the steering became super heavy and I went well off. I assumed it was a tyre failure so limped to the pits, but everything was OK. But....the master warning light was still on so I checked the DTCs and saw – C13E6 “Heat Protection”. Yes, that bloody steering rack computer sitting where the oil cooler should be has its own sensors and error logic, and decided I was using the steering wheel too much. I really appreciated the helpful information in the manual (my bold) POSSIBLE CAUSE • Continuing the overloading steering (Sports driving in the circuit etc,) “DATA MONITOR” >> “C/M TEMPERATURE”. The rise of steering force motor internal temperature caused the protection function to operate. This is not a system malfunction. INSPECTION END So, basically the electric motor in the steering rack got to 150c, and it decided to shut down without warning for my safety. Didn't feel safe. Short term I'll see if I can duct some air to that motor (the engine bay is sealed pretty tight). Long term, depending on how often this happens, I'll look into swapping the povo spec electric/hydraulic rack in. While the rack should be fine the power supply to the pump will be a pain and might be best to deal with it when I add a PDM.
    • And finally, 2 problems I really need to sort.  Firstly as Matt said the auto trans is not happy as it gets hot - I couldn't log the temps but the gauge showed 90o. On the first day I took it out back in Feb, because the coolant was getting hot I never got to any auto trans issues; but on this day by late session 3 and then really clearly in 4 and 5 as it got hotter it just would not shift up. You can hear the issue really clearly at 12:55 and 16:20 on the vid. So the good news is, literally this week Ecutek finally released tuning for the jatco 7 speed. I'll have a chat to Racebox and see what they can do electrically to keep it cooler and to get the gears, if anything. That will likely take some R&D and can only really happen on track as it never gets even warm with road use. I've also picked up some eye wateringly expensive Redline D6 ATF to try, it had the highest viscosity I could find at 100o so we will see if that helps (just waiting for some oil pan gaskets so I can change it properly). If neither of those work I need to remove the coolant/trans interwarmer and the radiator cooler and go to an external cooler....somewhere.....(goodbye washer reservoir?), and if that fails give up on this mad idea and wait for Nissan to release the manual 400R
    • So, what else.... Power. I don't know what it is making because I haven't done a post tune dyno run yet; I will when I get a chance. It was 240rwkw dead stock. Conclusion from the day....it does not need a single kw more until I sort some other stuff. It comes on so hard that I could hear the twin N1 turbos on the R32 crying, and I just can't use what it has around a tight track with the current setup. Brakes. They are perfect. Hit them hard all day and they never felt like having an issue; you can see in the video we were making ground on much lighter cars on better tyres under brakes. They are standard (red sport) calipers, standard size discs in DBA5000 2 piece, Winmax pads and Motul RBF600 fluid, all from Matty at Racebrakes Sydney. Keeping in mind the car is more powerful than my R32 and weighs 1680, he clearly knows his shit. Suspension. This is one of the first areas I need to change. It has electronically controlled dampers from factory, but everything is just way too soft for track work even on the hardest setting (it is nice when hustling on country roads though). In particular it rolls into oversteer mid corner and pitches too much under hard braking so it becomes unstable eg in the turn 1 kink I need to brake early, turn through the kink then brake again so I don't pirouette like an AE86. I need to get some decent shocks with matched springs and sway bars ASAP, even if it is just a v1 setup until I work out a proper race/rally setup later. Tyres. I am running Yoko A052 in 235/45/18 all round, because that was what I could get in approximately the right height on wheels I had in the shed (Rays/Nismo 18x8 off the old Leaf actually!). As track tyres they are pretty poor; I note GTSBoy recently posted a porker comparo video including them where they were about the same as AD09.....that is nothing like a top line track tyre. I'll start getting that sorted but realistically I should get proper sized wheels first (likely 9.5 +38 front and 11 +55 at the rear, so a custom order, and I can't rotate them like the R32), then work out what the best tyre option is. BTW on that, Targa Tas had gone to road tyres instead of semi slicks now so that is a whole other world of choices to sort. Diff. This is the other thing that urgently needs to be addressed. It left massive 1s out of the fish hook all day, even when I was trying not too (you can also hear it reving on the video, and see the RPM rising too fast compared to speed in the data). It has an open diff that Infiniti optimistically called a B-LSD for "Brake Limited Slip Diff". It does good straight line standing start 11s but it is woeful on the track. Nismo seem to make a 2 way for it.
    • Also, I logged some data from the ECU for each session (mostly oil pressures and various temps, but also speed, revs etc, can't believe I forgot accelerator position). The Ecutek data loads nicely to datazap, I got good data from sessions 2, 3 and 4: https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-2?log=0&data=7 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-3?log=0&data=6 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-4?log=0&data=6 Each session is cut into 3 files but loaded together, you can change between them in the top left. As the test sessions are mostly about the car, not me, I basically start by checking the oil pressure (good, or at least consistent all day). These have an electrically controlled oil pump which targets 25psi(!) at low load and 50 at high. I'm running a much thicker oil than recommended by nissan (they said 0w20, I'm running 10w40) so its a little higher. The main thing is that it doesn't drop too far, eg in the long left hand fish hook, or under brakes so I know I'm not getting oil surge. Good start. Then Oil and Coolant temp, plus intercooler and intake temps, like this: Keeping in mind ambient was about 5o at session 2, I'd say the oil temp is good. The coolant temp as OK but a big worry for hot days (it was getting to 110 back in Feb when it was 35o) so I need to keep addressing that. The water to air intercooler is working totally backwards where we get 5o air in the intake, squish/warm it in the turbos (unknown temp) then run it through the intercoolers which are say 65o max in this case, then the result is 20o air into the engine......the day was too atypical to draw a conclusion on that I think, in the united states of freedom they do a lot of upsizing the intercooler and heat exchanger cores to get those temps down but they were OK this time. The other interesting (but not concerning) part for me was the turbo speed vs boost graph: I circled an example from the main straight. With the tune boost peaks at around 18psi but it deliberately drops to about 14psi at redline because the turbos are tiny - they choke at high revs and just create more heat than power if you run them hard all the way. But you can also see the turbo speed at the same time; it raises from about 180,000rpm to 210,000rpm which the boost falls....imagine the turbine speed if they held 18psi to redline. The wastegates are electrically controlled so there is a heap of logic about boost target, actual boost, delta etc etc but it all seems to work well
    • hahah when youtube subscribers are faster than my updates here. Yes some vid from the day is up, here:  Note that as with all track day videos it is boring watching after the bloopers at the start.  The off was a genuine surprise to me, I've literally done a thousand laps around the place and I've never had instability there; basically it rolled into oversteer, slipped, gripped and spat me out. On the way off I mowed down one of the instructor's cones and it sat there all day looking at me with accusing cone eyes as I drove past. 1:13:20 was my fastest lap, and it was in the second session, 3rd lap.  It (or me!) got slower throughout the day as it got hotter.
