They look pretty damn good IMO, even if they're not as functional as factory items they can show what the r35 can look like. The stock r35 is pretty bland in comparison.

All you jdm jocks are just too hardcore, at least the Americans are contributing in someway to aftermarket parts and development, what has Australia done...

New commodores are stock with 20s.

no they're not

Yes, VE Commodores can be optioned with 20" Wheels standard from the factory.

See for yourself: http://www.holden.com.au/www-holden/action...6&bitmask=1

man, some people don't read before they post...

so in conclusion, i was right

Well while you are so busy being "right" could you enlighten us all as to the performance reason for running 20" wheels?

There's a performance reason why they went for 20's

p.s. LOL at Holden 20x8.... The cheese factory called, they want their cutters back. :(

Don't worry, this topic sort of died already once people started talking about Commodores.

But believe it or not, my avatar picture is from a recently released CD of Japanese love ballads. There is the remote possibility that they already have shirts available!

unsprung wieght will still effect accell... ie more wieght more power to balance the same power to wieght ratio... wieght around a corner... self explanatory... wieght when slowing..... ... ok ... you put hte foot down and your bigger powa gets you up to speed.... oh shit you have to ease of and slow down to take a corner... as opposed to ending up in the wall and dieing painfully.... hmmm lift off oversteer.... nope nope.... more like understeering puss going for anchors and finding no ground.... coming into corner to fast... understeer of track into dust... wait for truck... woojoooo.

face facts....

This is boner worthy....

they are of desktop size >;P

since the GTR was built as it's own platform... why cant it look this good, be a small chunk heavier and make the same power it does now.... hell keep the AWD system and come in less than 1400 kg max... preff 1200 max but unlikely. MORE POWER is whats needed for these beasts!

    • What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.
    • Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!
    • No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
    • Welcome mate. Any pics? Even with a DE I'd be well happy if I had that as a 1st car.
