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.

    • I've got a 2011 J50 that I imported six years ago. The unmodified factory AV system date and time has always been correct ( Japanese timezone of course ) up until last month. About two weeks ago, at engine start, the system wished me a happy new year ( in Japanese of course ). I can't think of anything that would make the system think that the date had changed, unless the GPS component has failed/reset somehow ? I checked the GPS reception in the system settings, and it can still see the satellites. Has any other J50 owner had this happen ?  It's no biggie, just annoying that it tells me the wrong date anytime I start the engine. 😅
    • Love following your adventures on IG, hopefully if you're still around in Japan when we visit again wouldn't mind going for a few beers with you (that's if you're keen on hearing how I hate Nissans).
    • ok so if i wanted to go 18's i would go for 8's  in front 30+ or 32+ off set at front and the back 9 would be ok? what offset should i aim for.. then can i do some  hunting for wheel rim choices..    If i get this - will this fit all around: Size: 18 x 8.5 +37 - n what tyres size tyre should i get for front n back?  
    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
