cheers mate, ill have a look into that.

cant say i do lol, who is on your hit list.

this diggeah friend of mine and his lawyer, the trick is to get him to sign his will

and get his lawyer to certify it (all assets to me) before killing them both :)

Edited by POLICE

do you reckon theyd look as good if you bought standard coloured ones (like the silver) and had them painted up like these they would look the same, and how much would it cost to paint?

btw police, that sounds like you have a serious plan on ur hands :(

cheers

been searching import monster for a while now and all iv found are the red ones and only 1 set of them.

had a couple of offers from people with silver ones, but it will cost me as much as the rims to paint them.

any body know of any one with a set of them?

you know when you make your mind up after ages of looking and then you just gotta have it!

cheers guys

Some for sale here <---

but they are in 18s and probably stick out too much on a r33 since they were on a widebody s15 as stated in the sale

also if you join www.jdmstyletuning.com

they have a set of 17s for sale but in silver 17x8 and 17x9 with offsets that would suit a r33 gtst

chances are that when you do find em they'll need a freshen up anyways so buy em cheap and fix em up and coat em... then they will be basically brand new and cheaper than new ones...

$200 to spin all four and get rid of gutter rash

$240 to powder coat all four (or so one person said he got em done for)

I paid $500 to get strip & coat my sparcos and I paid $300 for the rims so all up $1000 for brand new lightweight racing rims, thats cheap as... oh plus $80 for new black alloy nuts... Go try and find decent rims brand new for under $2200, good luck...

yeah i guess that is very true, do they have to specialize in painting rims or can you get it done at like a good panel beaters shop that do resprays?

I would go powder coat or go to a coating specialist, craved on here does powder coating and his stuff looks real good....

But do goto a good rim repairer, the guy I know on the Central Coast is great, if he can't repair it he don't charge you...

thanks heaps for your help mate, now i just gotta get a cheap set with crazy offset and find a good shop in melbourne :) .

thanks again, btw if anyone sees any cheapish super advans with offset to fill flared gaurds and in the previous mentiond size that would be awsome.

thanks everyone

    • Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga
    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
