Bass's New Wheels.........


Recommended Posts

Hey ppls.

From my little coming together of industrial screw jacks and my front wheels, and the subsequent hole in both tyre and rim, and the face that I need new rear tyres anyway, Bass is getting new rims.

18x8 and 18x9

The choices are as follows.........

Second hand Volk GT-C, 18x8 set of four, Polished lip, bit of dish. I'd spray the centres in a gloss black with heavy gold flakes.

New Works XD9 in bronze, 18x8 and 18x9. Got some dish tough race look.

Buddy Club P1 Racing II, 18x8 set of four Polished lip, would paint centres same black with gold.

R34 GTR Rims, which I'd also paint the centres black with gold. Forged. GTR Tough.

I'm having a lot of trouble choosing.

$2k is approx spend on wheels.

As you all know, car is R34 GTT in Platinum Silver colour.

Help me SAU, you're my only hope.

Kinda like this, but on a silver R34, and with black centers. So, basically pretty much nothing like the picture below lol

They are Enkei RPF1 ... awesome lookign wheel when you get into 18s with a nice offset :(

:) I love those wheels. Not a common choice though these days with everyone going Rays

See, these wheels are the 2nd best kept secret of a cool wheel, that you dont see on every Joe Blows car...that is uber light and great quality. I want a set of these wheels for my car...but $$$$. DO IT! They will look the part provided you canb keep the offsets under +30

    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
