buying used wheels is all about having cold hard cash on hand and being in the right place at the right time, which takes patience.

put an offer on the importmonster wheels, if they come back with a no, move on.

there's these... 19X10.5 +21 which would be sweet as

and these:

18x10 +12 Gram Lights 57F-PRO

no price on those, just bid as much as you can afford minus shipping costs.

Ah yeah, true that and the quiet ones would be the Oval shape mufflers yeah...

I keep remembering Juliette's exhaust on her R34 GTT and it's pretty much silent.

:P

I wouldn't go so far as to say silent, but very quiet inside the car and not too loud outside the car. At idle it'd almost be as quiet as stock behind the car. I removed the big resonator/second muffler in the middle of the exhaust due to issues with ground clearance and it made pretty much no difference.

It's a full 3" stainless steel Fujitsubo turbo-back, but unsure on which model.

I remember when I bought my first 3" cat back for the 33....Me, Justin and James fitted it up at James' work, started the car and were instantly devastated...it was so quiet lol

Sold it to GTRGeoff not long after and bought a new one, much louder...

Then went de-cat at the same time as the rebuild/turbo upgrade...Hadn't driven the car for a few months....I remember picking it up at RE, left RE later that night....had the windows down and the stereo off.....was deafening and sounded insane (combination of new turbo/de-cat/ and not having driven it for so long)

After a while you get used to it, obviously it's still as loud, but didn't seem that way to me.

^^ I too remember when I put my BLITZ cat back on for Auto Salon and fuck it was loud!

I think it's a 3" or 3.5" with a 4.5" outlet pipe.

Just on idle it droned the hell out of me.

:P

Yeah well I am still yet to put my Veilside cat back on and it's a 3" with a 3.5" out pipe and is stainless steel.

I want to keep it quiet as possible.

But want to save for a new radiator 1st and Brembo Calipers are on the 'to do' list + I got suspension and wheel fitting / guard rolling to do on the Rolla...

*sigh* one thing at a time...

:)

anyone had any experience with the import monster yahoo japan thing? where you can search through there site and buy etc?

sure have, ive bought a r34 front lip and then bought 3 brand new defi gauges in a bundle which including shipping was still cheaper than buying 3 anywhere in australia. and i was more than happy, it was a very easy process. :P

how much AUD would it cost to import those GT-Cs i wonder? possibly might bid through that import monster it finishs in 5 hours

wow just checked the japan section of the site and the calculator there is awesome :P just gotta put some money in first haha

    • Jack the back of the car up, pull that wheel off, pull that sensor out, and put a bore scope into the hole to inspect the outer casing, see if anything looks damaged before you pull the whole thing apart.
    • Ergh... So I pulled the speed sensor out again and the tip was shiny so I think it's rubbing the bearing. The bearing contains the magnets for the speed sensor so I think when the first sensor broke it damaged the magnet ring on the bearing.  This is just a Google image, but there is a hole going to the bearing. So when the tip broke off the old sensor I'm guessing it fouled the bearing... As the magnet is only protected by a plastic cover it would be easy to damage it. So I guess I'm doing a bearing again.   
    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol
