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.

      R34 GTR Front Diffuser/Guard Liner questions.

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Hello everyone. I've recently started the research into R34 GTR front bits and running into eye watering prices. On the plus site it looks like some places make 'replacement' fender liners for these cars. At eye-watering-but-less than stock prices. I also noticed there's plenty of diffuser options available too. What I would like to know is if my following assumptions are correct. 1) The OEM guard liners are actually only 'half' the liner. They go together with the OEM brake vents which are a separate item which looks to be quite a large 'panel' that is part of the liner. The GTR bumper has bolt holes along the front. I assume the ones in the vent correspond to the ones the OEM liner does not have (circled?)   2) The V-Spec front diffuser supplants the brake ducts in the above item. I am assuming these still work with the guard liners as there's no alternate part. I don't see how they go together, so I'm making the assumption that they do. I know the center splash guard is different on the V-Spec How does the liner interact with that? 3) There's alternate front diffusers that do away with it all. Annoyingly, a lot of the clones and CF different ones... have no brake ducts on them. I like the idea of them though. My brakes get hot on the track. These alternate diffusers are a lot cheaper than plastic splash guards. I'm assuming you don't have to/aren't supposed to remove guard liners to run a diffuser. I suspect that quite a few people actually do not run the guard liner because with a front undertray you're getting a lot of 'splash' guarding anyway, and most people remove liners given they're probably running a pretty aggressive setup with a diffuser at the front. It would also be nice to know if anyone has ever run the 'reproduction' guard liners and know whether the fitment is OEM quality or "OEM Quality". Example: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/356254671561 https://carbonetics.net/products/nissan-skyline-r34-gtr-plastic-front-wheel-arch-set Is this knowledge still around?

      Really, effort is pretty low. You hand fistfuls of cash over to someone else and pick it up when done...   And at least this shitbox isn't drinking coolant right?

      Cold compression test after rebuild... should I be worried?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      And most chargers that most DIY people own would put bugger all power back into the battery between cylinders. I've always done it with jumper packs/second battery connected. And that's on any car.   Because race car, and wanting the lightness.  At least in an R33, putting a bigger battery in can at least help shift the weight balance backwards

      OR, Tell the Motec to STFU, you said shift, so try shifting! But then yes, I agree, more sensors needed to. Put either a wheel speed sensor, or a diff speed sensor on it. Then get an input shaft speed sensor too. (I say input shaft speed, and not engine RPM). This way, you can now also log and see if the clutch is slipping (RPM, vs input shaft speed), and you can calculate gear (Input shaft speed / Output shaft speed). At least then if the gear position sensor fails you have a backup. And realistically, the Motec should only worry about what gear you're in for the parts where I'm assuming you have some power management strategies in it for the lower gears. (IE, lower boost, maybe different throttle curves, different ignition curves, etc etc). But it should stop it shifting. Pull the flappy, that f**ker should just attempt the motion! Heck, even on a sequential like on a motorbike, you can keep trying to kick it up a gear all you want, the physically part of the box takes care of not being able to loop the whole way around the box! Only part you'd have to worry is how it gets to reverse.  But that's on the driver... An R32 shouldn't be so smart as to try and override the driver on a gear shift

      Yeah, nah. Anyone not putting the absolutely largest battery that will physically fit (ie, NS70 X) is not thinking straight. the NS70 X is close on double the capacity of the "stock" unit.
