Racepace Built R34 Gtr Nur Rb28 V-cam


Recommended Posts

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!!!!

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

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.

I love the TE37 or RE30 for your car

    • From now on read it as minus 5 and minus 7 instead of dash, and you're correct...
    • Opened up the cluster to inspect the gauge itself for signs of damage and it looks good. Got curious since that needle doesn't go back to a "neutral" position by itself (it stays in the same position when ignition is off. so I manually moved it to 1/2. Connected it back, turned on the ignition and the needle started moving up! Not sure what's up with that but before that the needle was way down below empty like fully south west. There's always a chance that the needle moved slightly the first time I tried and I didn't notice because of how slowly it moves and how far it was from the markings. I don't know if the current needle position is accurate so I'll fill it up and see where that brings it. I guess I'll try to adjust it manually if it doesn't get to F. Looks like the needle position is relative and not absolute? Thanks all for your help and patience!
    • You're confusing two different responders and more than one issue. The stock Neo ECU boost sensor is used by the ECU for protection purposes. It is essentially only an overboost sensor. It is not used for determining engine load for fuelling or ignition purposes. That task falls solely to the AFM. Any aftermarket ECU that either has an onboard MAP sensor or a plug in one, will use the MAP sensor as the primary load sensor. Or I should perhaps say "can", rather than "will", because some of them have the option of using other primary load sensors. That MAP sensor is not for the same function as the stock Neo boost sensor. The reason I recommended against a plug and play ECU is that they are intended to run a particular engine and usually in the car that the particular engine came in. So, if you have a transplanted engine in a different car, with some parts of the original missing (such as the boost sensor, for example) and therefore likely non-standardness of the loom and its insertion into the car's loom, then it is very likely that you will run into the same problems with needing to fix up wiring to make it work that you would with the stock ECU. And, if doing so for the stock ECU is enough of an obstacle that you start considering a standalone plugin as a solution, it should become clear that the plugin is quite possibly not the solution you'd hope it to be. It would just lead to more of the same type of problem solving work to get it going. In the above paragraph and in my earlier post, the lack of the boost sensor is not critical. It was just used as an example of something that we knew you did not have right, such that the stock ECU would not work. I took that as an indicator of a reasonable probability that there were other related problems hiding there.
    • I can think of two places in my city of <1.5million population that specialise in automotive instrument repairs.Unless you're out in the wilds of Quebec, you have 3 major Canadian and 3 major US cities within the same distance as the single nearest city to mine. Surely there is somewhere you could send it.
