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....

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
