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.

      S15 Spec R

      By RP1421 · Posted

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By Jarsky · Posted

      Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
