Gotta love em...

which is to reduce the road toll and the incidence of road trauma.
On Tuesday the 20th of April 2010, Operation „Pipedown,‟ targeting excessively noisy motor vehicles
Excessive noise is a serious environmental problem impacting health and well-being. The effects of this excessive noise should not be trivialized.

lol. Yes, it should be.

In combination with a focus on excessively loud motor vehicles, the focus will also be towards safety related offences. Offences such as: Drink Driving, Roadworthy Offences, Fail to Wear Seat Belt, Fail to Give Signal, Use Hand Held Mobile Phone While Driving.

Secondary to the dangerous loud noise..

Are they going on your car or a gtr? Will require a fair bit of work to get on there.. You'll need stretched tyres etc.

Im not a big fan of those wheels, but they are pretty cool.

I want these when I return from my holiday

any other sites to look for rims beside import monster? i would yahoo japan it up.. but cant read that shit..

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Vo...tml&hl=volk spotted these as well hrmm O.o?

excluding tyres gogogo! or i duno how much should i be spending?

dunno i try to spend about 2.5k on rims max inc tyres... but 3k should get you some brand spanker XD9's 18x10 +18 from the getgo in any finish you want.

also 19" or 18"?

if you're serious, then tell me how much clearance inwards and outwards you get on your car sitting at the height you want with the suspension you have.

to do this, take your wheel off, get a straight piece of wood, drill two holes so that you can bolt it to two hub bolts, ziptie/stickytape a ruler to it perpendicular to the stick at roughly half the diameter of the wheel you wanna fit plus an inch to allow for tyres, then spin the wheel to see if the ruler hits anything. If the ruler doesn't hit anything, then measure the distance on the ruler. If it does hit something, then move the ruler and try again. This will give you the inner clearance from the hub (measurement a).

Then do the same, but keep the ruler at the highest point on the spin and take a measurement out to the fender. This is your outer clearance (measurement b).

Now:

a+b = your max rim width in mm

((a+b)/2) - b = offset in mm

This way you'll end up with the perfect offset or something close enough to what you need. All cars are different, as they'll run different suspensions at different heights.

    • 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
