hmm,

just to let you know there is a jap rim company that makes GTR copy rims, look like gtr rims but the center caps dont have GTR on them, i cant remember the name but if i remember right can get a set for brand new 1.5k without tyres

cant remember the company either but the wheels are called grenades if i remember right

Those buddy club's are nice..

Who do I talk to about importing some rims then? I'm thinking of doing stereo instead now but have not made up my mind yet..

have alook at some of the sau traders (http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/index.php?showforum=141), most of them get rims from japan. also you can try out slidewize imports (sau trader also), he can get you second hand rims from japan. If all else fail you can send me a pm and i can help you out (but not at the moment very busy will be free in 1-2weeks time :))

Thanks Michael

Does anyone have any R34 GTR rims I can come and try on one side of my car to see what it's going to look like before I make my decision whether to go those or aftermarket?

I still have my R34 GTR in the darker grey colour when i got the new volks, and the centre cap that says GTR does come off very easily by just pulling it off and gives the rim a more aggresive look to it.

After spending $2700 on stereo gear for the car on saturday, insurance coming up in July (i think prolly $1200), got a huge dent to fix from someone reversing into my car($700), new sideskirts to paint & fit (~$200 max?)....

I can't afford rims for probably a few more months to come :)

I did think of just not having the center caps in, I don't think it looks shit without them.. as someone said it looks kinda aggressive (i aggree)..

So maybe in the near future!

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
