Dude first of all whats your location.Have you tried tempe tyres or ozzy tyres.

And i think i've seen one of those rims at bob jane t mart.

I'm in Canberra, but I go down to Sydney every month or so, so my options are pretty much canberra or sydney stores.

thanks for those two stores ( dunno why i didnt think of them myself, there is an ozzy tyre's near me actually...)

but another stupid question, can you put 19" wheels on skylines, or are they to heavy? if you can does it look good? or they look two big for the car.

thanks

If you got a 33 they look good but ride will be a bit rough.

I would stick with 18"s.

that makes sense, 18" it is then. So what do you think of what I'm doing. Gonna be getting a black paint job on the r33, then couple it with some gold rims, sound good? or do I have crapp taste :D

Try to get Jap wheels. Don't go for those 7" wide rims. If you want gold, you can get some Rays Engineering GTC's or even Work P1's for example.

Depending what you're planning to do with your car, try to get 18's. 17's look a bit small on the 33's in my opinion.

umm no offense but crap taste in wheels :no: If you're willing to spend on a nice paint job...budget for around 2.5k for nice set of 2nd hand jap wheels. Gold GTCs ftw! and stick with 18s too.

Is this the GTC everyone loves so much? why spend so much on wheels from jap, when there are wheels from Aus half the price and look pretty decent to...

Besides from quality whats so special about the jap wheels, its not like the wheels from Aus are going to fall apart after 6 months is it?

and thanks for all the help so far,

Why?

Because of quality, look and exclusivity.

Also, wheels from Australia are not actually from Australia but rather China/Taiwan/Phillipines where there is little or no quality/safety standards when making wheels.

There have been cases of these wheels falling apart during hard driving!

Also these wheels just copy the Japanese designs. Which would you rather have? The real deal or the wannabe?

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
