thanks dude.

there 18x9.5 + 15 all around

they cost me 2600 but were all different color when i got them so had to get them painted which was another 800 then tyres at 1000

so around 4400 + the stickers lol they were 80 bux haha

i got them from a seller on the forums named eugene from jdm performance

how come you didnt go something wider on the rear? wouldve thought a 10" at least

they will do for the street.

i think that by having 9.5's up front they will deliver enuff grip. its a pitty that the ku's were dissapointingly not grippy at all.

looking at getting nitto nt55's from o/s later down the track.

fair enough, btw did you ever considering getting the te37 sl's instead considering they wouldve cost you about the same as your current rims and already have been gunmetal and a touch lighter too?

Finally some pics!! I've been watching this built up avidly, and it's good to see someone with a very similar mentallity to me when it comes to parts. Genuine or f**k off!! Nice work man, will continue to follow this til it's done.

You have too much money aye... Haha

here ya go dude,

ill wash it during the week and get some clean photos of it.

very very nice car julz, the wheels really set it off perfectly. Your front bar looks like a nismo GTR bar from those side shots? Any chance in spilling a bit of info on where you bought some of the parts from? (i.e. front, hood..)

thanks dude. it doesnt come with out its sacrifices bro. i moved back home and rented my house out so i would have enuff free money each month to buy parts and stuff.

thanks for the kind words, just need way more time to do stuff on it, working 7 days a week sucks :)

hay dude thanks

the front bar is a tommy kaira genuine item, it was on the car when i imported it. u can see more photos in the earlier posts of the front bar

bonnet i got from a SAU member its a top secret carbon bonnet

rims from forum supplier jdm performance (top bloke as well)

i bought heaps of carbon parts from my mate who runs psi parts but still many havnt been put on yet, but im getting there.

WHAT!?

f**k me! you really know how to make a cliff hanger!

hay dude sorry i missed ur post. the te37 sls are 4000 for a set then add tyres, + they r the wrong color, there gunmetal grey, my wheels are lamborghini satin black.

there only 200 or 300 grams lighter so to me that isnt really enuff to go out and buy them in terms or weight issues, my car has hardly any interior, and only 6x9's now + all the carbon stuff its a bit lighter than most r34's.

Nice build!

Any chance of more pics of the car & wheels in the day time? ;)

ill try dude, but im at work 7 days pretty much, on the odd ocasion i get a day off im running around getting shit done.

ive got a week end off though in a couple of weeks and plan on doing a few things to the car so they r on the way dude. cheers

couple more from saturday morning that a friend took whilst i was asleep at her house. its really dirty though so u cant see the pearl or the gold flake. i washed it on tuesday (it was sunny as in melbourne) and it was so sparkly in my driveway i couldnt look at it hahaha.

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
