I wanted the boost at first hands down but then i seen it on a commodore in a small pick and thought it didn't look good.

I am think the shift. This is going on a black series 2 r33 gtst. Thanks

dude go the 16 inch ROH adrenalins you can't go wrong they're SO good!!

nobody in the world has ever made such a good well engineered rim as the ROH adrrrreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaahahahahhahahaha

sorry i can't keep a straight face...

..seriously though, if you like the ROH's, get 'em we're not here to provide advice as to what you want, but i will say this,if you get those rims, the next week afterwards you will understand the quality of a good wheel, and you will cometo realise that the ROH's aren't what you were looking for afterall, and you would like to sell them for some better engineered, better designed, better fitting japanese wheels... they don't cost that much more than the australian ones, which aren't actually australian, they are chinese...

....you're not a chinese person... ARE YOU!?

haha, but seriously you will buy them and regret it, and then when it comes time to sell, you won't be able to sell them to ANYBODY ever and you will be stuck with the dreadded curse that is crappy rims sitting in your garage that nobody wants...

Alright how bout you look at these...

Google them I cant do all the work for you

Starcorp - Impul (on tempe tyres website come in chrome and deepppp dish)

Koya - Race Tek (Hard to get in sydney duno wtf u are but seriously hot rims)

Koya - Inox (not as sexi as the above but come in 3rd for aussie rims)

I understand not paying $4000 for jap spec rims just not the weight is conciderably different vrs jap forged shit .. atleast 4 to 5 kg .. really makes back off uneasy when slowing for a light .. im sure its just a thing you have to get used to ..

9.5 max unless you want to mod for the rears 19's are big but fill the guards very nice .. hope you dont want to do any track work tho

8.5 fronts id even shoot for 8's to drop some more weight .. the steering will be very noticable loss and you have to throw it around some corners..

My advice is on what ive done .. so believe it!

More advice please buy good tyres.. ATM im riding on Nankang and I have falken all round stick to a decent brand and dont go for nankang .. they are very hard which means they will last awhile .. but they dont grip for shit ..

I was using very very illegally low treaded falkens .. and they stuck better than this shit .. at least get some good gear on the rears please!!!!

Hope it helps PM if you need any more help

Oh and on the note .. My mate has the second one on his soarer.. on a skyline they look like shit .. really really shit ..

Do you have a picture of the soarer with them on. I checked out those on tempe tyres and don't like them. But those Koya race tek chrome man there sweet better than the two i had posted. A fair bit more to be pay but the wheels make the car in my opinion. Cheers mate

Ill grab some for ya mate.. But trust me give them a miss .. they suk .. they looks really shockers on my r34 (black) and black is meant to look great with chrome..

Yes the race tek are seriously nice wheels and even better in person .. I wanted black but they are sold out and bonus they come in staggered sets 8" front 9" rears and will fit perfect .. you may need a 3mm spacer to clear your front brakes but the 33s are as big as the 34 brakes so u should right..

Trust me ring round for the race teks and the impuls (they look better in shadow chrome - ive got them) ditch those other rims ur looking at.. skylines just dont go with it

      From my youth: GTi-R clutch change is a massive pain. The gearboxes are fragile? But the car is super cool and I want one 😢

      Driveline vibration is resolved. I ended up loosening all my engine mount and trans mount bolts, giving it a good shake then retightening everything and it's gone... Let's just say I was surprised that fixed it.  I've been happily driving it around again but unfortunately put zero time into my direct port/constant pressure WMI setup. I'm on vacation next week, so I'll try and finalize it then.  On a different note, I spent all week fuel/ignition mapping 2x 216L V16 engines. Turbo's were burning glycol and we swapped them out for larger units. We also had planned emissions testing on site, so I figured I'd be there the same week to use their instrumentation and massage any emissions issues out if needed. This was a first for me. Fuel management is similar in certain ways to automotive (i.e air density as load variable) but very different in others. It's all PLC based and AFR's are controlled by air and not fuel. They use a control valve between the turbo and air manifold to control pressure which in turn controls AFR's. Due to this, target AFR tables supplied by the OEM are in pressures and not mass which really through me off. They use air pressure vs fuel pressure tables. I also relied on an O2 concentration sensor the emissions team had in the exhaust. Ignition timing was also all over the place and we were losing a fair bit of power. They're now happily sitting at 16-40BTDC depending on load. We were making about 1600kw at 900rpm at 90% load. Engines were running a lot smoother as well.

      Oil pan for RB25DET NEO Stagea "version"

      By Duncan · Posted

      meh, it was a good video, clear about the issue and how he dealt with it. A bit heavy on the RTV and very brave to put an RB in anything without rebuilding it first, but otherwise I thought it was good Dose, I'm not sure that having the pickup forward is a big issue; yes of course the oil could shift under brakes but the sump should never be empty enough for that to be a problem (unless you also have a higher volume oil pump, and that oil can't return from the head to the sump quickly enough)
