I fitted a new set of rims to my car about a month or so back, Lenso D1R, in Hypersilver. They aren't Japanese brand name wheels, in fact I replaced a set of genuine Volk Rays with them, but they look better than the old VR rims - 18" vs. 17" - and are fairly light weight.

was gonna buy a set of d1r's in white for the s14, but when the works showed up with such tough offsets... sorta couldnt resist, lol.

It's all a matter of personal preference/taste, but most of those examples look like absolute poo to me! :happy: Not a fan of the VIP style wheel.

haha, vip isnt a style many people are into.

cool thing about andrews new ride is that any sort of wheel from xd9's to piaa's would look freakin awesome on it. id just be inclined to go the way of vip.

Dam straight Damo would rather do SAU them heroin gts4 are 4.1 because they share the same parts from the gtr i think r32 gtst is 4.3 because of the lack of torque from the rb20

Nah, especially since I am not going to absolutely slam it (in fact am only droppping it an inch all round) VIP would be a waste - and yeah I am with Matt here - imho most of the VIP wheels look like ass.

Got pics of your new wheels Matt? Are you coming to poker at Burger's next Friday night?

Cool.

Gaaaaaaaaaaah I just realised that we are out of non-rotting bacon :happy:

Problem is, my car is out on North East Road getting some free advertising and the wife is out, so jumping on my tredley is the only option.

So, do I wait for Scandy to arrive to chauffer me to Woolies to get some bacon, or will my hunger outweigh my laziness and I jump on the bike (given I have already done 3km this morning when I dropped my car out to NE Rd). Feel the burn.

I am pretty hungry

If you're going to slam it I reckon spokes will look awesome... like:

Give me a couple of hours mate, got a few jobs out in the backyard to do - mixed in with watching Port try to keep their finals hopes alive - then I'll take some pic's out in the sun... how good is it to see the sun again!?

Nice choice on the new car too dude.

Yeah I'll be there mate. Had an impromptu game at my house on Fri night actually, 7 of our regular crew rocked up, Trent came along too. Finished $15 up.

Can't argue with that logic mate. I could have lived with some Work rims no worries at all. I had the option to go for brand name wheels and cheaper average rubber, or average wheels and good rubber, the latter option suited me best. $1550 in rubber and about $1400 odd for the rims, anodised wheel nuts, and freight.

The XD9 is a nice looking wheel, and even better yet, they are nice and light. Ugly wheels are one thing, but ugly heavy wheels are just poo fullstop. Mind you, some of the quality VIP style wheels are probably lighter than the cheap crap 'race' wheels.

do you have pics of them on 32? interested to see how much the back rims hang out the guards.

Same size wheels just the D1R's.

I was going to lower it 20mm at the rear and about the same on the front and that would of just tucked them in. But with a bit of suspension and guard work they'll fit easssssssssssssy

      Only if you do not You will not be able to drive it with any serious load without risk of it pinging, which will either slowly or rapidly kill it, depending on how bad it is.

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      By 677_GTR · Posted

      Hi guys, I’m new to the GTR scene. Picked up an R33 GTR earlier this year that needs a lot of love. I’ve been going through the hot side, changing all the gaskets and while it was all off I managed to score a set of -9s. It still had the stock ceramics so I was pretty happy to get the 2860s.  I live in a small country in the pacific with 0 performance car scene. No dyno’s no performance parts, let alone stock parts for a skyline. I order everything from Australia and do it myself. This means I’ll be running the stock ECU. Maybe down the track I’ll get an aftermarket set up and do a remote tune.  Will the car run -9s on stock tune safely?  I have a very heavy foot so I really hope so 😂   thanks guys

      Does RB25DE Neo lower intake work with RB25DET Neo Upper intake manifold?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I'm not sure if it will bolt up, but.... I'm reasonably sure that the ID of the runners is somewhat smaller on the NAs. So it probably wouldn't be a good match at the flange where the top and bottom meet. So that would be a reason to not do it. And the skinny runners would be the bit you're keeping, which would be a reason to no do it. You'd want the big runners if you were doing any work to swap stuff. Why not just use what you've got, like nearly everyone else who has +T'd an NA? You don't need or want the TCS throttle or other stuff that is specifically DET inlet/crossover.
