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...

Monday > TE37 in bronze like yours

Tuesday > LENSO D1R in black

Wednesday > ADVAN RG Series 1 in gold - yep, it's Wednesday now and they're ON!

Thursday > GTC gold face/silver dish

Friday > RE30 in titanium face/silver dish

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

    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful         
    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
    • 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.
