nah Damo - I am after 18"s. And those rims are insanely differently offset - the difference between 8" +37 and 9" +28 is 21mm. the fronts are not offset enough and the rears are TOO offset.

My perfect offsets are:

18 x 8 +25-+28

18 x 8.5 +31-+34

18 x 9 +37-+40

18 x 9.5 +44-+47

All of those sizes leave the wheels between 33mm and 30mm wider track than stock, and fill the guards nicely without rubbing or needing rolling. I am also keen on same width wheels front to rear (which is how the car comes stock), so I can rotate tyres properly. I am sick of staggered offsets.

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

Thanks heaps for the heads-up Chad - that price is amazing - but they just don't do much for me I'm afraid. Did a mock-up of them - what do you think? Plain is my thought. Especially compared with polished CE28Ns, or even the polished lip black ones I posted earlier.

Here's My suggestions,

Lenso Type M

They need to be big 18-19, and the car will need to be lowered. But they will look TOUGH. and they are cheap and can be bought individually if one of them gets damaged.

I've got slotted RDA's. I havent noticed much rotor wear at this stage as I've only gone through one set of the QFM's so far. But the disks still feel like new so i'm guessing rotor wear would be very little. I got 2 track days and a bit of street driving out of the pads so very happy with them.

Thanks for the info', Chad.

I'm running RDA slotted rotors too.

I considered the Lenso Type M, they're a good looking rim. In the end though, no dish = no dice :) I have a feeling Andrew will agree.

i actually approve of those wheels...

Well for the first course we had the following:

3 slices of toasted bread

3 eggs, sunny side up

250grams of bacon

smokey bbq sauce

So, double decker b&e toasted sandwich packed with all the good stuff.

This was followed by half a dozen Toohey Extra Dry Platinum, various spatterings of Jim Beam Black, Johnny Black, Jim Beam Single Barrel, Jack Daniels, Jamesons 12 y/o, Johnny Walker Green, Apple Tequila (direct from Tijuana), Amaretto (direct from Tijuana), Giesen Sauvignon Blanc, Woodstock Botrytis, Seppelts Gewurtstraminer, and finished off with some of my current fave red Pertaringa Understudy Cabernet Petit Verdot.

Various 8 ball games ensued.

2nd course consisted of:

2 slices of toasted bread

1.5 eggs well done

150grams of bacon

smokey bbq sauce

Followed by various Wii games.

Result = win :)

haha, brilliant way to kill a day. you certainly know how to make a good b&e. shall have to do it again.

I was going to put these on my car before the lmgt4's came up for sale.... I like the copper bronze with machined lip :)

reason it sounds so agricultural at idle is the 3.5" unmuffled exhaust following the y pipe...

Went on a RCK cruise last night with a mate and lets just say :)

What would you do something silly like that for? :)

Sigh... way to piss away our money on a pointless "show car" that will have no effect what-so-ever :)

Well ... its got the attention of NS.com, and now its getting our attention. I say good on them. Everyone's crying about the cops needing to be properly educated and trained ... but they can't spend a cent or they're accused of blowing tax payers money. Damned if they do, damned if they don't. Fords are cheap anyway :) Shows a bit of humour.

      R33 GTST Axles

      By Jarsky · Posted

      Have you confirmed its the actual axles? Also the wheel bearings that mount on the hubs to hold the axles wear out. I replaced mine as they got play in them. It sorted my play issue.

      R34 Speedo not working after manual swap

      By Jarsky · Posted

      Ive converted a few clusters for the R33 with 320km/h dials. On the back there are some pads which can be bridged or unbridged (using solder or wick braid) to calibrate it. There is one bridge which is for MPH <> KPH; and there are combinations of bridges to offset it. There is probably a diagram  For example; this is my conversion for a 180km/h dial to a 320km/h dial (I put custom GT-R dials on it with the GTS25t layout) If you have J2 soldered (assuming the S clusters have a similar config to the R clusters); you may need to remove that solder

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By Jarsky · Posted

      This. A 3d wheel alignment is like $120...just take it to the shop. Since theres probably multiple adjustments that need to be made after changing something. Mine has front/rear lower arms, traction rods, tension rods, camber arms, toe arms, front upper arms, hicas kit, sway bars and coilovers. I measure from the edge of the bolt holes on the originals and set the same length on all the adjustable stuff to dial it as close as I could to OEM. Took it straight for alignment; it didnt feel right at all...after alignment, it feels perfect. Similarly i've just changed the springs on another car; and I still needed multiple adjustments to bring it back in spec.
