Ok, I'll be the first one to say, DON'T DO IT!

Those 'bling' wheels in my opinion don't belong on a car of this calibre, this car deserves the best motorsport wheel and it's hard to pass on the TE37. the work wheels will be considerably heavier and you will definitely notice your car feeling more sluggish.

This car is the epitome of a hardcore street/track car and in my opinion needs lightweight forged monoblock goodness.

I'd say you may also have issues getting them over the AP's aswell.

Another thing I don't like about these meisters is that they use the size spokes as the 18'' version, only the outer part of the rim is larger and in my opinion does not give the full 20'' look.

Anyway this my opinion and many may disagree, just thought I'd give my 2c worth......

P.S if you do decide to go ahead Matt I've got first dibs on the TE's!!!!

Let's start from the very beginning...... 2002 BNR34 VSpec II NUR purchased from Zele International in Japan through Powerplay Imports. It was delivered over two years ago. The car was in 5A condit

Picture of Racepace stage one exhaust as requested. This may look like any garden variety aftermarket exhaust, but there are lots of hidden sneaky tricks to make the turbos spool hard and fast.

TE37s are getting overdone these days imho plus meisters look sick on 34s, proof:

IMG_01271.jpg

but matt, to run wheels that wide with such low offsets will require some serious tyre stretch+camber to get in the guards and considering the look youve gone for with the car, i dont think theyd suit. the above car has 10.5s rears (unsure of offset but doesnt look like -6)

however, points will be achieved for toughness

I know what your saying Jack but this car doesn't see the track so increase in wheel weight not a huge issue IMO... sluggish? with 400rwkw!? it might not feel quite as sharp but won't be that much of a difference

I agree with Pete, everyone has TE's, can't hurt to try something a bit different

he has the wider Z tune guards up front so just the rears are a concern... the rears in that pic could be close to -6... heaps of dish there

can anyone confirm what offset needed to fit 10.5s on the rear of a 34GTR?

Personally, I love the tough look of the Work Meister S1.

But I certainly understand Jack's point regarding unsprung weight etc etc.

As mentioned TE37s, CE28s, LMGT4s (all of which I have owned) and other popular Volk Racing wheels are so overdone on BNR34s.

I am a wheel whore, therefore i am always looking at other exciting wheel matching for my car.

These were the original pics that got me hooked on the Meisters. This particular set was traded on this forum in 2008/09 and changed hands twice as far as I know. The set for sale in Sydney may very well be the same set of wheels transferring ownership again...

Looks almost Tonka (toy) tuff!

In agreeance with Pistol Pete, When i went for the SSR SP1R's on mine i had the choice of those and about 3 different spec'd TE's. Although i absolutely love the TE's they are getting pretty common same with GTC's and CR Kais are getting around a bit more. Yes all very sweet and tough rims but with that size and off set you can't go wrong!

Just got car back from Racepace. Verdict: I like the way the car handles now!

Boring photo of Hicas unit removed. Note 5kg weight reduction.

Custom Racepace Hicas bar,retaining OEM tie-rods. Racepace logo is a nice touch.

Again, it's nothing exciting. Note 4" exhaust sits very close to rear differential housing.

Just curious Matt but how many bonnet's do you have? Ive counted two R tune nismos and a vspec 2 bonnet so far. Add that to your wheel collection and you must have a double bay garage for just storing all the gear to mix and match the appearance of your car! Im hanging out to see your "cleaning out the garage" sale thread in the parts section.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.

      Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?

      The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.

      Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?

      By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol

      No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
