white te37's :(

and i also dont mind the look of the white starcorp impuls (although i dont think they are japanese)

na, TE-37's look shite on gts-t's / gtt's, not enough offset to get depth into the spokes. GTR only, same with LM-GT4's

m2 hanbais dt05r in gunmetal. 18x9 +20 all round.

work meister s1 2 or 3 piece. 18x9 & 18x10.

work cr kai - 18x8.5 & 18x9.5.

work xd9 - 18x9 & 18x10.

desmond regamaster - 18x9 +20 all round.

any of those fron the top of my head and sizes close to those will be good as.

No, no they don't. Dezz has a set of them in 18's on his car and they look the shiz! I get all jealous everytime I see them :(

But yeah, +1 for SSR Professor SP1's. Real nice set of rims!

+20 would u have to make a few modifications to fit these offset, this is gtr territory isnt it?.

yer xd9s i like the look of, but i dont mind spending a bit of cash on forged stuff

ther is a user on here named blags who has xd9s on his 33 and the rears have a bit of dish looks mint

The difference between the gtst and the gtr should give you a clue as to what design of wheel would look better.

Because the gtst does not have the "phatness" of the gtr, Wheels with big dish go a long way to enhancing the appeal of the gtst from a looks perspective.

The gtr can get away with far less dish by virtue of its already phat look.

Wheels like meisters and starcorp impulse transform the skinny arsed gtst in to a car with way more street presence.

    • Food for thought, the stock oil filter thread is a 3/4-16 UNF, which has an ID of about 10 to 12mm (according to ChatGPT lol). Now compare than to an 10AN, which has an ID of about 14mm (Raceworks is 14.2mm, Speed flow is 14.27mm).  
    • Yep, totally get that. However hooking in for Generator back up is only a few hundred bucks for the wiring. You could put a couple of those in (for different circuits explicitly) and run a couple of baby generators. Bonus, you can balance them across different circuits, and now have backups in your backup. I'm looking at buying places that won't even have water etc, and I don't mind the idea of getting off the electric grid either, even with everything you've said. This country already has enough power outages that even the mains grid isn't that reliable anymore. I do agree though on spending a bit more to get better gear, and to add some extra redundancy in to the system too.
    • You can set hard reserves on your battery system, and it can't be discharged past that.  
    • That sounds like an excellent idea. But total self-sufficiency means exactly that. You have no-one else to blame when your system faults out and you have no power for a week or two while it gets fixed. You'd have to go the whole hog and get a diesel genny and all the switchover gear, to get you through such times. And, despite the fact that over 20 years, my system has been pretty reliable**, I have seen so many inverter explosions (or less dramatic deaths), panel and roof JB fires, and so on, over that time, to know that the stuff is the same as any other bulk Chinese manufactured stuff. The failure rate is well above zero - both on the equipment and on behalf of the meth addled installation labour force. And then..... warranty and means of redress against the supplier you bought the gear from. Best I can tell is that only a handful of solar companies are still around within 5 years of starting their advertising pitch. They disappear and phoenix like crazy. So, as per 1st paragraph, I suspect the only way to is go balls deep and spend maybe 2-3 times as much as you might think, so that you have every base covered. Plus, know and understand your gear intimately, so you can diagnose problems, sort them out yourself, etc, etc. Plus, probably have to consider upgrading various parts as the years pass, to maintain compatibility with newer stuff, performance and reliability, etc, etc. Whereas, remaining attached to the grid has an ongoing cost that keeps going up even if you use bugger all power from it. But it does provide the fallback in case of the worst case with your own gear. You either pay up front or as you go, I suspect.
    • Add more solar panels to the array. Call the electricity company and tell them you're moving out... Live off grid electric wise
