time for glasses, Dave? :D

pffft you single-5-spoker guys are all so boring :)

although the rims in your avatar look pretty awesome Mike. just a little too 'extreme' for me I suppose... and I dunno... but I kinda like the style of the stock stagea / atmo R34 I think? rims. I'd be happy with the same, but bigger/wider!

Ummm im pretty sure he means those wheels have six lots of double spokes.......? :)

HAHA oops don't know which ones I was thinking of! I was comparing them to the stag wheels... my bad!

PS Enkei also make the GTC01's in R35 GTR size... not sure but I reckon that would be over 2,000 per wheel pretty easy... looks pretty awesome though

If I had the money....

Agreed! Hence, when I got the V35 wheels on my car, I was very happy. They're not exactly the same, but similar enough for my liking. I should take some close-up shots.

Here is a set of 18x10 +17 face 2 with a 73mm outer rim

This is exactly what the amount of dish will look like

The rims would be perfect fit on the front but hang out the on the rear too far :D

sold for 111,000Y

sold for 111,000Y

Pretty good price. Make some GTR owner happy.

My dream rims are these Enkeis:

Enkei_GTC01.JPG

Not sure if they come in your offset, but IMO they look awesome and simple - 5 double-spokes - and they're available in a finish called 'hyper black' - kinda a speckled gunmetal grey. They're light too apparrently they're race rims. Not light on the budget though at nearly $700 a rim last time I checked, but that's still cheaper than a lot of sets.

yeh they're still about $700 cost price fronts 19x8.5, rears are $750 for 19x10.

the wheels are used on some racing cars in europe and some well known racing teams use them. similarly made wheels are used in F1

from the website... "The Enkei GTC01 is without a doubt one of the most technologically advanced alloy wheels available. It uses a special form of casting known as Duraflow M.A.T Technology as used on Enkei's Formula One wheels they supply to F1 team Vodafone McLaren Mercedes. The result is an incredibly strong wheel that is also exceptionally light. Available in a wide range of fitment options including staggered fitments."

i was at the 2010 wheel range launch recently, they're very very nice looking wheels and extremely light for the 19x10 i was holding. if they were cheaper, i'd already have them on my car!

i can find out all the available sizes and offsets tomorrow if anyone wants...

Worthy of such a vehicle but pricey - some updates please!

Updates

Just had a weeks holiday. Time to get back into it.

I have put a deposit on a set of rays GT-c's in 19x9.5 +12 in gold. Pic attached. Plenty of dish

Wheels are near new and only 12 months old. Just waiting for the seller's new rims tyo arrive form Japan. Need to get new tyres

I have bought a complete rear cradle from a manual series 2, as my rear end is rusty plus with the narrower track of the manual cradle I can fit wider rims with low offset and do not need to run spacers on the front. Plus the added bonus of bigger drive shafts and factory LSD.

Only down side my new bilsteins will have to be replaced to fork type. So a pair of rear eyelet shocks only 200-300k's old should be for sale soon.

I have recently sold my cat back exhaust and have buyers for the dump and apexi turbo as soon as I get time to remove them. Hopefully this weekend. This will make way for the new gt3076. My replacement exhaust. HKS silent I bought s/hand is bent so It is not fitting. My fix it replace with a 3.25 or 3.5 inch to accomadate the hopefull max of 300rwkw.

Will be painting and detailing the end bay as well.

I see a new queensland cruise coming up in Nov. so now I have a dead line to meet.

Just for something extra to do I have bought a small side project. 2004 CH lancer. Needs front repair and a new roof skin.

Congrats on the build completion (well all but finished). Looks fantastic. If your still undecided on wheels I reckon go the Rays. They are not that common and are the sort of wheel people either like or don't. I run the Rays Gram Lights. I like the track look that Rays have which suits the r34 rather than a showy run of the mill wheel.

When is the cruise in NOV?

Have been slowly removing the front end and stripping the engine bay getting ready to repaint to match the outside.

The apexi turbo is out and have trail fitted the new Gt3076r. Tight squeeze, but it fits. Took me nearly 2 hours to remove 4 manifold studs and fit the longer ones to suit the spacer plate needed to fit the turbo. Crap slow job

Hopefully get the engine bay painted on Monday and then can start looking at detailing the engine bay.

Need to send the ecu off to get the nistune fitted, fit new nismo injectors and custom new inlet and exhaust pipes to suit.

Have also purchased a manual rear cradle, need to pick it up sometime and detail and fit that as well. I have to change the rear shocks over to fork type from the eye type, so the 250km old/new Sydneykid bilsteins will be coming out. Might sell the complete set, can not say I am that happy with them. Preferred the ride of the Teins I had in there before.

Still waiting for the new 19x9.5 Rays GT-c's. Another few weeks, not that the car is going anywhere soon.

Started on the Lancer as well. fully stripped ready for a new roof skin, fix the front and a full respray, then sell it.

Hmmmm. I wish i had your bank account. I may be interested in your bilsteins though..

Engine bay is now painted. The slow task of cleaning everything before is all goes back in sucks.

Plan is to have all the upgrades done in the next 2-3 weeks to get it tuned and then refit the front before the the next stagea cruise on the 22nd Nov.

In my spare time the little lancer has now got a new roof skin, most repairs are done and hopefully fully repainted in 2-3 weeks time as well.

    • Hi all,   long time listener, first time caller   i was wondering if anyone can help me identify a transistor on the climate control unit board that decided to fry itself   I've circled it in the attached photo   any help would be appreciated
    • I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!
    • I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.
    • The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.
    • No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.
