Not sure where my introduction thread went, but here goes.

Brand new Volk Racing TE37, 19x10.5, +12, Bronze. Still needs center caps and maybe some blue wheel nuts to match the valve stems.

Couldn't call myself a real Volks fan without a set of TE37s. Haha. This is my 3rd set of Volks, and these TE's are friggin' awesome. They're bloody light, too. You can feel the difference through corners.

I'm sure many people prefer the GTCs, but it was just too much bling for me. It was pretty funny when the guy at the shop asked me how much these 'chromies' cost me. Hadn't been there before, but they were cool and took care when removing/remounting tyres.

Yes, i know TE37s have been done to death blah blah.. This is true, but it works so damn well with the R34 GTR. They were for sale (seller didn't even get to see them) and i jumped on it.

Much happier with these puppies. They'll do, for now. :) I'm sure i'll have to try another set of wheels next year.

Time to fulfill my dream and get some massive brakes under there. Then it's onto genuine Z-tune kit and retune for cams/hi-flow cat. Well, that's the plan..

Wow. They are awesome mate, they definitly give the car a more improved street look. I have been umming and arring also about TE's as well because as you said they have been done to death. Still they have no trouble standing out when matched properly to a car. Im going to get exactly the same dimensions for my 33GTR in the next month or so (Give or take with the offset, gotta look it up). Can I ask who arranged them for you? PM if you feel the need.

Cheers.

My Fashion Statement reads...

Saturday > Decisions, decisions... what will I wear tonight? lol

Can I borrow your RE30's, please Terry (on a permanent basis)?

I'll have to swipe them back off God_speed hehe

Don't know about you, but I actually like thin spokes to show off more of the rotors/calipers.

And thin spokes to me, seem to signify strength through art compared to strength through chunkiness

Sorry to hijack Huy

    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt 
    • So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm. 
    • Wouldn’t touch par if they gave it to me. You need to ask how much power you’re looking to make and then add about 50% to it because that’s what you’ll end up making  The factory box says no more at about 350kw or so, the upgraded synchro boxes won’t handle much over 500kw for long and at that point you’re looking at an auto or dog engagement manual,  once you’ve gone dog engagement you may as well go sequential, they cost a little bit more but it’s worth it  also while you’re at it you should upgrade the transfer case with 10 friction plates
