Hey peeps. I'm now a full timer at Buddy club.

I'm in charge of design here (and a good dab of marketing), that's all the print work for various car magazines as well as the web site. I've been here for about a month now, it's been great to combine passion with work, something I always strive to do.

I know many Skyline owners are not fame whore inclined but I'm currently trying to develop a customer car gallery on the Buddy club web site so if any of you have Buddy club products on your car, please email me some pictures, your name and exactly what Buddy club products you have on your car and I'll add them to the gallery!

Send images to: justin(AT)buddyclub.com.au

sidrr20: Awesome. Send me more! I'll definitely include your car on the Buddy club site.

And redevil: You're WRONG there about Buddy club products now being replicas.

Many of the products including wheels are still being made in Japan. The ultra light weight QF forged wheel is made in Japan, so too the PII Plus.

Yes the Japanese company was taken over my AAI. AAI are into motor sports and based in Taiwan. They distribute a lot of great Japanese brands including TOM'S, Autoexe, Blitz, Mugen and a lot more. Check: http://www.aai-racing.com.tw/aai.php

I am not a trader here so I'll be careful with what I say. Buddy club does not sell direct to the public in any case (wholesale only). Although if you are dead serious about wanting something at mates rates then PM me and we'll see if we can work something out.

Hey champ..

I sent you a few links in the email.. let me know if you recived my email!!

Would be aweosme if you could include my car in there!! Would be so greatful if you could do that!!

Let me know if you need more pics etc..

Btw for those of you who havnt even seen the p1s range shouldnt comment.. They are the lightest rims i have picked up!! Workman ship is just as it use to be say 10 years ago.. (exactly like my p1s-- strong, light, forged etc)

Dude, i might be keen if you could get your hands one some orignal p1s in gunmetal.. Let me know if you can find a set.. brand new that is

Even tho i got a set, i want another set!!

Cheers man

Edited by siddr20

do they still make that mega, ultra, super light rims? kinda P1 style, but more dish, and more shiny... might be more GTR offset/size. I think i saw a pic on a demo R34 GTR

anyone know what i'm talking about? There's the p1's which are supposedly like bricks compared to these other buddy club rims... :ninja:

um i just saw the latest shipment at access another official buddy club distributor and instead of two piece spun forged they are now one piece cast.... so dont know what your on about? definately cast NOT forged.

plenty of other good products non the less, im just about to use their cams in a tough evo 6 TME.

LOL Ronin, it's alright, you know me, always happy to try and hook a brother up!

The P1's are NOT FORGED and never ever were. The only super lightweight forged rim they have is the QF version (QF stands for Qualify First, ie: a qualifying race rim):

15" 4.65 Kgs

17" 6.15 Kgs

18" 6.70 Kgs

    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
    • Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?
    • My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.
    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
    • I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
