well its a front one, and apparently the rears are verrry wide, yet it was off an r33 gtst, so he's bringing one front and one rear to work tomorrow, see if it fits, and even if i have to buy a brand spanka from takakaira or something i will still have leet wheels, but if i can find one second hand one then yippee

they are silver with red, instead of blue like daves

I bought a set of second hand wheels for my R30 - 2 had been damage, like run flat, badly pitted around the tyre seal.

The guy I got them from managed to get them fixed - said he didn't believe they were the same wheels when he picked them up.

I don't know where they were done (somewhere in Heidelberg) - see the guys at Beaurepaires in Bayswater and ask them about the RS Impul wheels.

yep they advertise per wheel

i tried the rear wheel on my car

GOD DAMN IT LOOKS AWESOME!

its silver with red instead of blue like leewah's

i love them

rear's have 275's PZero's

fronts i forgot

only thing is the front buckled wheel

he's gonna bring it to work tomorrow, gonna take it to tyrepower (who helped me out a lot today, wheel nuts were threaded, he took them off for me, sold me new ones for cheap, and also a set of locknuts for $10 :) :)) get them to see how buckled it is, if its fixable then i'll take it this guy in heidelberg he recomended (maybe same guy u were talking about blind-elk?)

if it cant be fixed then i will be sad but wont be to upset

the $700 price tag was per wheel, i didnt hear properly, but he said $1500 for me :):P with tyres

i hope this can be fixed, they look awesome, i think the rears are 18x9 or 9.5!

its crazy!

front might be 18x7 or 8 hehe

    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
    • Just like in being 14mm too small (296mm) makes it not fit, being 14mm too big (324mm) it also won't fit. You want to find the correct rotor.
    • @GTSBoy Ok so that was the shops problem...they showed R33 rotors on R34 page and i did not know 296 do not fit(and are for R33) Yes i bought "kit" with rotors and pads. Pads are ok(i have GTT calipers front and rear). They have some 324mm but no 310mm. So i dont know if they would fit. I have 17inch LMGT4s So another question. Can i fit those in the rear or they are just "too" big for that?
