I have available 20" Chrome Spinners which I believe will fit Skyline, any one who has fitted 20 Wheels to Skyline might be able to advise the rim Width and Offset they run. My company imports these from the USA, we fit them mainly on SUV, however I am sure they would look mad on Skyline, have a look at the picture's attached and if any one wants to try out will do a special deal for the first one who gets me information in correct skyline PCD and ET in 20"

PCD = 5x114.3 (for 5 stud skylines, ie all turbo models)

Offset is different for GTR's, Gtsts and R32,33 and 34....

chaos - if they are something like that you'd want to make sure they had really good bearings and shafts mounting the outter assembly that spins.. Wouldn't want to be doing a good speed with these things on.

But if the outside isn't mounted separately then They're pretty cool. :cheers:

are these the wheels that when the car stops moving part of the mag still spins?

nah this aint them. I seen them on a 4x4 BMW down the coast was pretty mad stuff, thought this would be an american thing. You seen these before??

Yes they are! In fact these are commonly known as "Choppers". I was going to get em for the Benz, some 6months ago, but changed my mind. Well it good to see someones sellings these in AU. I really think they'll be a hit. Pretty pricy, in comparison but they look awesome when the car is stopped & the chopper is still spinning.

PS: If I remember correctly, I also think you can buy just the chopper which gets attached to your stock rim :D

I like them.. but you gotta have the car to match.

Theo fitted them to his X5 on the Coast and yeah they look the goods.. but I think he also came away with a defect for them.. (oh well)

would take a pretty special (different) skyline to make them really work. I tossed up fitting them to the Rx7 as it will also have a dedicated set of race rims..

and may still do so..

rim wise you are really going to get a set and see what you can do, what you are prepared to cut etc.. cos I don't see them fitting on and the car sitting nicely without significant mods..

and the car has to sit right over these.. or it will look terrible.

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
