Hey all! I just bought these.....I thought they would look ok but now that they are on the car, i F*kn love them, especially going from the stockies. Pics dont do them too much justice...will get better ones as soon as the next sunny day rocks up here in tassie....could be a wile :(

[Edit]: Btw they are 17x8s on the front and 17x9s on the rear. Thinking about painting my calipers. What colour should i go??? The norm red or should i go white or something??

Very nice!!

I love em.

I reckon go red/blue on calipers if you want em to stand out but I would go black with 'nissan' white.

The black will just make them look clean where as I don't reckon stock brakes are big enough to be bright.

I love black rims, almost all of my cars have had black rims.... and they look great...

a good early morning or late afternoon photography session will really bring them up lookin good... try a shot from down low, really makes the rims the focus of the shot... with the sun behind you...

I'm not a fan of the blue or red nuts though, all black I'd even be tempted to paint the centre cap...

then some black racing graphics......... yeah I know...

Thanks for the replies!!! Hmm, yeah, i wouldnt go gold calipers simply coz itd look like i was trying to look like brembos. Red mayb, but yeah, black with white nissan would prob look sexy!!! Ill get some pics up tonight of sunset and see how we go!! WET-25T, i was thinking about it, but originally, i was just gunna get these rims as "In between" wheels (i got them for $600 second hand off a mate), but i dont know now, i think ill keep them on there for good. Also, i was contemplating pilishing the outer edge of these ones, but thought that it'd prob look gay and make the rims look smaller, as they are only 17"s. Any other suggestions on calipers??? Leaning towards black with white nissan atm....

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      I might be way off the mark here.. there must be a T junction under the manifold. That takes manifold pressure through a check valve prior to the T, one side splits out to this bleed off orifice, the other straight to the wastegate actuators.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Carrying out some engine due diligence before my first drive in a 260RS that has been in storage for 10+ years, and found two lines that are susposed to be plumbed into the boost control solenoid. One of the lines (the wastegate boost supply line) to actuate the gates, had a bolt in one end blocking it. The other line (main boost signal line) from the very rear of the intake manifold (RB26DETT) and runs up to the boost controller had this pill in the end of it as seen in photos. Other than the obvious (T28 Ceramic turbos might well be cooked)  Can anyone shed any light on if there is any validity at all with this mod, bleeding a constant fixed rate of manifold boost pressure off through this 3mm hole?  Is it deliberate?  Was this a 90s Jap mod done to RB26's? Or has someone just fitted this without any idea of what happens to ceramic T28s if they are not gate controlled?

      This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.

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

      By soviet_merlin · Posted

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
