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

    • @GTSBoy This method was able to get readings of -10 to -2, so it looks like its monitoring.  Now I need to figure out why the vacuum on the line provided isn't alternating with manifold pressure.  I went with 2 lines that an RB25 tuner recommended but I'll get a longer hose and try directly off the back of the manifold.  He may have been used to OEM intake setups while I have a DBW setup that removed the MAF and IACV.  
    • I work at a car detailing and tinting shop called Quark which gets all manner of German cars in usually (mainly due to a contract with Mercedes Benz Kita Osaka, BMW Nishinomiya and others) but every once in a while something special comes in, like a fully restored 1972 HS30 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG... The shop owner had immediately started applying film to the windows as soon as it was in the shop so the interior was completely covered in towels and plastic sheets. But I could get a few photos of the engine bay which was restored like new. Such an amazing car to see in pristine condition in Japan these days.  
    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
