^^^ You deserve to be banned by associating Starcorp Impuls with that blue R34. Starcrop Impuls are cheap Tempe tyres shit, which are copied from Work Equips, which is what the blue R34 has. The Starcorp wheels are heavy as f**k, poor quality and come in shit house offsets (+38).

If you want good rims say no to Tempe Tyres and get some good Jap rims. Get some Work Equips if you must have this design

I had them in 18's on my Series 2 R33. They are very cheap, they are very heavy but otherwise they did the job well enough and looked a treat. I had them in Shadow Chrome. The offsets are shithouse and we had some issues clearing the guards in the rear with 265 rubber on the back (without wanting to roll the guards) but managed it in the end. I got mine for $1250 second hand from the Silvia Forums in excellent condition with new, but cheap shit Nankang, tyres.

Good for cheapies but I wouldn't be tracking/drifting them.

If you're more about the show they will be fine, if you care about go as well then you're losing a huge oppurtunity to dump some unsprung mass if you choose heavy rims.

Here's some pics of them on my car

WTF are you retards on about? Starcorp Impuls were designed for skylines.. Shit offsets my ass they sit right on the guards. Originally designed for R33's if you have something older then obviously it wont fit.

Yes jap rims are lighter.. They are the same strength it just takes more metal in the Starcorps to achive this.

Downside they are one peice so harder to fix. Drifting would be fine with Impuls however I wouldnt use some of the other thinner wheels.

Anyway like I said I have white ones..

post-a189620-2886721599-8410195bec.jpg FYI! On black.. BTW the white R34 looks HOT!

I Must add.. If you are worried about rim weight offset it with more power .. Then if you buy Jap rims you will have crazy acceleratioN!

Relax yourself you idiot, read the post before jumping to conclusions.. your arrogance should get your A$$ banned .. stupid ..

And skylinekid, im sorry for posting a pic of a R34, im sorry if i offended you.. sheesh.. relax.

Anyways, other than flaming -.- ..

Starcorps are pretty nice rims, only reason i picked them up was coz they were a pressie so i decided to whack them on, and have been with them since. Once i do the Turbo Conversion im looking into getting SSR's or Work's or even GTC's *drools*

theyre on every second skyline. it's almost as if they were a nissan factory option :bunny:

if anyone knows anything about wheels. when they see these, they know theyre cheap and nasty, and it degrades your car a bit.

most school girls however, will like them :bunny:

not to say no one should ever use them, especially if they were on your car, given to you, or you got them for amazingly cheap. but if you're about to pay for new wheels, add a bit extra $$ and buy some better ones. second hand, quality wheels are the way to go.

I'm not a fan of starcorp rims.

One guy I worked with had a set of his VY S pack Ute. After 3 weeks One split in half while he was doing 110kmph. The company he bought them from made him buy a whole new set cause they wouldn't refund his money or give him a replacement wheel.

Also, my boss asked me to put a set on his sons Hilux, as I was putting the last one on I accidentally tapped the wheel with the wheel brace. On a normal rims it wouldn't have done anything, but on these a big chuck (the size of a 20cent piece) of paint come off, about 4 layers deep :S

From then on they make my spew in my mouth a little when I see them. lol,

    • The HG high flow is excellent, and costs about the $$ you're talking about. But it, and probably every other highflow, uses a diffeent core than the original turo, and the original Hitatchi core is quite long. So, I think it is inevitable that there is likely no such thing as a highflow that just "bolts on" with no other effort required. And the same is likely true for HG's outright replacement "bolt on" turbos (the ATR things). And the same is likely true for anything similar from elsewhere. I have no idea if the cheap Chinese/Taiwanese complete turbos from eBay/Temu/etc are as bolt on as they claim. I mean, they claim the bolt onto the NAs as well as the turbos, and we know that can't be "bolt on". But it wouldn't matter because I'm not buying a $169 4 psi turbo for anything other than a paddock basher.
    • Bummer...yeah i "need" something to "ease" up the work and for my driving it would be enough.    Iam counting the tune "without" turbo. I do not mean "cheap" like something from Temu around 200 USD, "Cheap" is something around 1000 USD? 
    • Starter motors used to use the weight of metal (magnets) to provide torque. Now they use (more) current instead. This. It's completely normal.
    • So thing that had me stumped, but I think is OK....is that when it was up in the air, in neutral I had it running to bleed to coolant while I put the wheels back on. I noticed the rears were turning (slowly) which I'd never seen before 20250928_163512.mp4     Because there had been an issue with clutch slip due to pedal adjustment on the dyno, I assumed there was still and issue so spent some quality time upside down under the dash adjusting the pedal....but no matter what I did the wheels still turned in neutral. Even disconnected the master cylinder to pedal rod and same. In despair, I even removed the clutch slave so there was no chance of any preload causing it.....still happened. So either: 1. Something is not right in the bellhousing, or 2. Its a thing sometimes with cold, thick gearbox oil Internet says it might be 2, I hope so!
    • OK, few more things sorted and it is ready for a shakedown on 10-Oct, with one weird thing. Changed the run in oil and filter for the good stuff. 8l came out, about 8.5 went in with filter so that looks all good. Changed the starter (again), this time for a brand new one, works good. Interesting that the Taaaarks one is shorter than factory but spins harder, I guess electronics have moved on a little in the last 30 years. Will be nice to have a bit of extra space under there. Put the timing cover back on, and noted where the cam gears were set as a record.  Will need to double check the timing but it is pretty close. Also put the coil pack cover and intake snorkel back on. Exhaust Inlet Changed the water out for coolant, bled up nicely. Removed the rear brake pads (well worn factory sumitomo ones!), gave the hardware a good clean and reassembled. I've put bendix XP on the back again because the price is excellent at $150 a set and they worked well on the V37. Front pads have plenty so no issue there
