Hank scorpio- where can i find Work and Volt rims, i have seen Volt rims on some of my mates cars in sydney, they dont look to bad.

Since you're in NSW you could chat to the guys at Croyden Racing Developments. They deal with Racing Hart, Work and Volk/Rays Engineering (Volk and Rays Engineering are the same company, they also make the "Nismo" branded wheels). These guys are also an SAU trader.

You could also contact Wheelworx in South Australia, these guys deal with a large range of wheels. (May be a little more expensive then CRD)

You can also buy Work Wheels from the people themselves located I believe in New Zealand.

And as -Jimmy- suggested email Jesse Streeter. He will return your enquiry quickly and can get you anything out of Japan!

Hope that helps mate!

i asked tempe tyres if they could do that for the shadow rims on the first page. but they r only a distributar yea? they couldnt do it any way.

im gonna give argy tyres and bob janes and all them, see wat they have in a 4x114.3

ur gna have a hard time finding some nice 4stud rims that look normal on ur NA unless u can fork out a grand or 2 lol..i know i did :) most of the 4 stud rims u can find will fit but the offset is screwed and will sit behind ur guards, i got fed up and converted mine 2 5 stud and finding rims was a piece of cake ..looks ALOT betta too ;)

I got the rims today and am all happy with it :)

except for the center cap ..... It wont stay on because the hub keeps poping it off (the metal piece with split pin in it sticks out) dont know how to over come this because the cap stays on and i go to tighten the nuts and as the last nut goes on its too much and it pops the cap off.

Ohh dat sux.

Post up some pics, interested to see what they look like :P

umm no i have the stock 4 stud.

Yeah my dad is going to grind 2mm of the 6mm of metal thats there after the split in. I dont think this will be a problem, hes only shortening the metal and leaving some beef on it.

OR

i can get some really thin spacers, i only need 2mm!!!

I dont have tyres on the rims but i took a picture anyway :)

The kitty fell asleep next to them :D ^>

There sweet.

17x7

+42 offset

they are still under my guards with that offset so its all good :D

i can get 8piston Brembos in under these.

My dad fixed the problem today. He jacked the car and took the old rims off but it on bricks (HAHA looks funny like that) and look at what we could do and the rear hubs actually got a shorter thread and the split pin sits closer to the chassis so that metal thread isnt as long so my rims fir on without modding anything .... on the rear

The front we chopped 2mm of the 6mm thread before the pin and they fit fine now.

All sweet :P

yeah no problem. ill get the tyres on them. Ive only got 10% tread on the front right and 80% on the rest. Ive got to get the CV fixed :)

Anyone know who does a good CV? i really need it because i have grease all through my front right guard and my tyre is almost dead.

There are rims out there, you just need to know what you want and know how to find it.

Ditch searching from Tempe. What's your budget?

Something along the lines of these suit your criteria of 18 inch 4 stud.

18x8.5J+29

18x9.5J+29

Alternatively if you're dedicated you could do the turbo brake upgrade, and have better brakes with a larger variety of 18" wheels to choose from.

-Jimmy.

Dont give it away to everyone else Jimmy!..

I wanted these for mine!..

:laugh:

Of course.. I think Ill be getting a pair.. their eye wateringly expensive.. so ghetto miss matched rims for a while..

    • Hello, sorry for being late to join the discussion, but my clock just died on me.   Ive tried to look at Michaels digital clock repair.docx and it doesnt work maybe the file has expired.   Please let me know if you can re upload it or take some youtube videos to show us how to get the clock installed? thanks
    • I thought that might be the case, thats what I'll start saving for. Thanks for the info 
    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated. Rb25det s1 walbro255 fuel pump nismo fpr holset hx35 turbo fmic 3" exhaust freddy intake manifold q45tb q45 maf   Re: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Fri Apr 12, 2013 5:07 am No, I didn't. I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
    • My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
