I've sent an e-mail or two off. Lets see what the replies are.

A bit OT but have you done a new 0-400 run yet? I'd love to see a wheel mounted camera on the speedo too, you have a laptop mate?

Ask him again when the Fcon is fitted.

He won't have speed cut then lol

Is anyone on here running a 9.5in wide rim on there car? If so what offset would you be running?

Just found out the wheel I want doesn't come in the size of choice... 8.5 +22 only a 9.5 :/

+38 is what you want. But only has about 3mm clearance on the front between rim and suspension upright link.

I went with a 9+30. It's sits out at the front about 3mm and flush at rear. It also gives plenty of clearance on te inside at the front. Just work out what size you can get that sits the same as a 9+30 and all will be sweet.

They don't make anything that will fit I'm afraid. Back to square one.

I know how you feel. I was originally after Work XT7 but couldn't get them in the size needed while still have the concave face. The other face looks ordinary.

The brand i had chosen, Varrstoen, did a good looking wheel with out the cost of a jap rim...

What did you end up going with if you don't mind me asking?

Mike.

I went with Work XSA in a silver face with polished lip in 18x9+30. They are a 2 piece rim with just over 70mm dish in my sizes. They can be ordered in any size and offset you want as they make them to order. But be prepared to wait. Mine will be shipped tomorrow and here in 6-9 weeks plus I waited 6 weeks for them to be made. Price is pretty good for a quality Japanese wheel, around $2200 delivered (on special when I ordered them) from memory, no tyres of course. I'm a bit anal about only using Japanese wheels on Japanese cars, they just seem to fit and finish the cars off better IMO.

Who did you order through?

Like to see them when they arrive, look nice.

I've got a mate working out with Braid about a set of wheels at the moment, see how that goes otherwise I saw a few nice ones on that Work web site!

    • Here is a recipe. Sonic blocks till you get one that has a good enough bore. Get a torque plate and block brace, use your choice of fasteners (arp ect) bolt the thing together empty, half fill it and let it cure. Release it when it has, go to a REPUTABLE RB Builder and get the thing line bored/honed and cylinder honed to size, then wash. Once its all clean and dandy, wash and blow it out again. Then again.  Assemble said engine to your desired clearances with oil control mods, gasket to suit desired CR/Squish ect. Attach your extended sump with proper trap door oil baffles and head drain plumbed to sump with a SUMP BREATHER SYSTEM. Build your front diff with a decent LSD, rebuild your transfer case with a few extra plates, more than likely replace your tailshaft centre bearing and tighten up the rear diff. Tune to minimise excessive midrange cylinder pressure (timing unless you like to split bores and rebuild engines) Enjoy your engine, but hate the fact you are now destroying engine mounts, gearboxes, gearbox mounts, diff output flanges and driveshafts, diff mounts, tailshafts and front CV's.   Disclaimer.... Ive never done any of the aforementioned stuff.......
    • 440s will support well over 400HP on petrol, which is a decent place to be for an RB20. 230+rwkW. Will be a safer bet for idle/low load. 550s would be nice for the extra headroom. I've made the same decision with mine (Neo25). 1000s are probably too big for the Nistuned ECU, so I have some smaller ones.
    • Appreciate everything guys. I did go ahead and get an alignment... most of my complains are solved. Car is not perfect, but it's good enough. If I notice uneven tire wear or anything I'll just take everything back to stock.  Thanks again!
    • They still have not shipped the 550cc injectors as they weren't in stock, so in theory I could ask to get the 440cc ones instead, if those work better in my scenario. They're the same price so really shouldn't be an issue. Unfortunately I am not so knowledgeable in most parts of tuning so I wasn't sure what's best to choose between the two. 440cc ones are the lowest they have (not in stock, but available to buy nonetheless).
