Well i have finally decided to spend some money on some 17" wheels.

I have had my eye on some for a while now - AMG Matrix Chromies. (Dodgy scan attached)

So hopefully i will get them within the next week or so. The only hurdle i have is Bob Jane (or there finance company) have to approve my finance for them. But that should be sweet.

Anyways im really happy as the stock rims are really letting my car down at the moment. Should be getting new lowered suspension in the next few weeks as well.

A question. The rims are 17" x 7.5"....... I want 245s on the rear and 235s on the front. Will 245s fit on the rear? The guy said it will stuff up my speedo/ odometer etc??? I didnt think that was right.

Yeah I know the colour you mean Adam but the Matrix only chome in Silver or Chrome. The ROH Adreneline com in shadow chrome but every second car has those rims nowdays

Anyways.....

Not getting chrome anymore because they wont have them for a few months so i am just getting silver. Oh well they are easier to maintain. They are coming from the eastern states so hopefully they will be in on Friday.

Incidentally one fo the guys that works at Bob Janes WRX was parked out the front (always is) ....... runs 12.2sec 1/4 mile :burnout:

Well I finally got my rims. They look heaps better than the stockies (der).......and im glad I painted my brake calipers 6months ago because now they look really good.

I will post a pic up tomorrow. Needs to be lowered now but it looks heaps meaner....and Im glad I didnt get chromies, these are shiny enough.

Anyways im happy :cool:

      Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      By Duncan · Posted

      Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kapr · Posted

      Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
