Gday all, Got the rocket back from painters and looks mint. Just chasing a bit of info regarding wheel sizes. The DR currently runs 17x9 sparcos, however i am trying to find some wheels a bit more suited to the age of the vehicle - watanabe copies or similar. What i need to know is do any of you r30 owners have dished wheels that still clear the guards, and if so could you please tell me the sizes and offsets? I dont want to buy the rims i think will clear, and not be able to use them.

Cheers.

Sport Max do these nice watanabe/panasport copies. Come in 16 inches, not sure on offsets or width.

Mate Ghostrider has a legit point, I had 355atw in my DR and it was an absolute monster to drive on boost, lotsa fun yes but not a lot of traction unless u eased it on, with 600+ forget it, too light and RWD only.

Well lucky its my car then and i can run whatever power i like hey. I am setting it up for a couple of glory runs down the strip then changing turbo and tuning for hillclimbing which is what it will be eventually used for. Rest assured i have had plenty of hi-po engines in my time and am under no illusions as to traction availability on the street. It seems to me that this forum is primarily for bagging other peoples rides and opinions instead of providing positive comments and feedback..........

If you believe that my engine produces too much power, thats great. I guess thats the reason that i bought this car and not you.

Check out the 17x9.5's in here. bout 1/2 way down.

Their called ROTA RB's.

Cheers mate, i checked them out once before but they dont do them in the offset i need. i am running drifteks at the moment and will probably stick with them for a while.

Thanks anyway

Yeah your car makes too much power :)

Give some to me!!!

I missed out on buying your car when it was here in Perth but baulked and brought in my own stocker.

Wish I'd bought it now as I'm up to the price he was asking spent on mine and it's not even licensed yet (maybe today ...fingers crossed)

Yep love your car

Never met a horsepower I didn't like

Cheers mate, someone talking some sense at last!!!! Yeah the cost of building from scratch sure adds up, but even though mine was semi-built when i bought it, i am still spending tons on it to get it to where it should be. I think that once you get to 20-30k, stop counting!! Look on the bright side though, you could be spending the same amount on a Hyundai..............

    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
    • Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z
