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 :)

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..

    • Put a fuel pressure gauge on it. Replace the turbos. Probably completely separate issues.
    • What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.
    • Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!
    • No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
