Yo so i can get pretty decent deals on rims that my companies stores deal with but none of them really have anything decent.. most of them are crap quality rim companies and the decent ones like koya only really have 1 rim i'd want and not in the right size.

All the nice rims are like $3k + which sucks because i don't want race rims but i do want the sweet assed look

so anyone know anywhere i can get some FAKE black te37's in a 19X9ish size?

cheers

ah ok, 2.5k is still too much for me for 2nd hand 37's, especially since the car won't benefit from having lighter wheels on thw street ><

I'll probably go the koya race tek's then, i can get them for less than a 3rd of the price of 2nd hand 37's.. sucks though, 37's are sweet

i think BSA made some fake ones, instead of saying volk rays, they say vork ravs

indeed they do. i think in black too., just take off the stickers and source some RAYS one or non at all. none the wiser

unless you a full blown race car driver, i wouldnt worry your only going to add .00001 second extra on you lap time plus you will save like 2 or 3g.

Umm excuse me....save 2 or 3g??? More like 2 or 3 kg per wheel if not more...

the only problem with these knock off's apart from the quality is the size, no one wants 17x7 or 18x8 and the offsets are usually pretty lame

you want 17x9, 19x10 etc

they make them for the try hard excel's and shit

try drifteks.. they came with my car i recently bought and they look alright and have decent width 17x9 and 17x8 the offset of the rear is good, the front could be a little better

excuse the ride height :P

the only wide rims (especially in 18, 19 inch+ sizes) are always expensive new, and the nice ones are usually pricey second hand too (if they even stay on the market for that long)

all the crappy Chinese or Taiwanese 'Vork Racing' by 'RAVS Engineering' and similar wheels are made in smaller sizes with pathetic widths (6", 6.5", maybe 7" if ur lucky) to suit FWD cars, and have huge offsets too

look at Commodores- even when they had 245mm tyres, the factory was still fitting them to narrow rims- hence when you look at aftermarket rims for them in 18" sizes, they are still fairly narrow

If you want anything over 9" wide and quality, to suit a Skyline, be prepared to spend some meaningful cash

    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way.
