Seriously though...

Color choice, be it for wheels, interior, body, whatever, should be entirely up to you... but having said that, I think gold wheels look crap... even on the Impreza/Kia WRX twins...

Bronze on the other hand, especially bronze TE37's, are the mutt's nuts.:burnout:

Hey Rezz,

Thanks for the pics - I know lots of people think gold wheels look crap - that's why you can't buy them easily new these days.

I just had the idea - and I didn't know what it would look like.

So thanks for the Pics

As for my opinion - the jury is still out !

Cheers,

Steve, why don't you present ROH or somebody with a deep dish design? They might just go there.... Oz made Japanese style wheels - for Aussies who are fed up with this...

Well when I was looking for a set of wheels, I think I rang up several wheel places (ROH, Simmons, ANZ, etc.....) and I only found one wheel design that I liked that had even a close resemblance to dish as most of the places only had a couple of offsets to suit skyline and 17x8x9, unless I went for a custom made 3 piece :( - buying direct from japan would have been cheaper.

I don't know why - but I think I like gold wheel on a silver car.... It's a bit different I spose......

I think I'll have to go search some other colours as a comparison. Maybe Black or White .....

I dunno - It's hard to choose wheels hey ?

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.

      There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.

      I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.

      Yeah - I mean, go the other way. Smaller range. Not larger.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      To re-cap, I bought: https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8G-Infiniti-Q50-Q60-2014_1601171829627.html?spm=a2756.trade-list-buyer.0.0.2cd476e9FTIlKE As you can see, if I bought 20 it was $653, but I bought 1 so it was $1,170. I was very tempted to buy 2 and resell 1 at 25% cheaper. @MBS206, I am not sure if they do a Kluger one, here is their list but it might be there under a global model name: http://www.lsailt.com/product/android-interface?page=1 Keep in mind these full android replacements have basically all the bits a phone does (cpu, ram, storage, wifi, bluetooth, usb interfaces) other than a screen (it uses a host), thus the $800+ cost. Android Auto screen mirroring is MUCH cheaper as it's just a cut down shell, input mirroring and output mirroring BTW I also need that "screen off" feature, it is much harder to see wildlife even if a dash is reasonably dark. Both the Fuga and V37 have display off buttons for night use, they just come back on for a second or 3 if you interact with it, eg skip a song.
