Thanks for the info justin. Probably looking at about $5000 all up if your were to wrap them nicely. Would love to get them or Te37's but would rather spend that sort of money on performance. Its a pitty the wheels we have don't look better because their performance is great. What do you think of drift R? Can get them in 18x9 with 265/35 all up for $2600

Cheers Ben. Yup. TE37's are my 2nd choice. ROH? No way! Just not Japanese now is it? The ROH DRIFT-R is actually very similar, or is it exactly the same... except for the name and centre cap... as their Modena wheel? I think ROH are having all of us on.

I just got my set last month they are pure porn. I doubt you'd find a second hand pair as I had a good look although mine are 18x9.5Js and 18x8.5J's. I paid $1050 per rim. $4200 delivered via qantas air freigh as far as I could tell!!! (there were stickers on the box) How cheap is that, I worked out he must of made olny around $50 per! The TE37's are ok but they were similar price to the LM GT-4's.

So Adz.. how did you get your rims exactly? Through which people? Through what site?

Here's the 1st car I posted... the atest pic of it online. He has dumped his Nismo wheels for bigger wheels. I have seen them before, multispoke bronze.. volk I think? And he's added the list of stickers down the side like the Gran Turismo version.. also he's blackened out the rear 3/4 window.. nice touches!

Well I went through Evo-R in Clayton, Melbourne. I honestly thought they would be the most espensive of the lot but it turned out to be the cheapest. no one could bring them in coz of the duty and freight. They'd just be to expensive. I think the closest quote I got was $1495 per rim! These were the first set he'd brought in so I dunno about another saet on the same price. You could try though! As said before the nearest set is the Volk TE37's in bronze though they are a 6 spoke not a five and the spokes dont taper like the the LM's and they are a 6 spoke not a 5!

    • haha this shit box doesn't drink coolant, for now       Let me guess, they make heaps of power, use the car for straight line driving and don't care about noise
    • They’re so great that I know of someone pulling one out to go back to a sequential 
    • Hello everyone. I've recently started the research into R34 GTR front bits and running into eye watering prices. On the plus site it looks like some places make 'replacement' fender liners for these cars. At eye-watering-but-less than stock prices. I also noticed there's plenty of diffuser options available too. What I would like to know is if my following assumptions are correct. 1) The OEM guard liners are actually only 'half' the liner. They go together with the OEM brake vents which are a separate item which looks to be quite a large 'panel' that is part of the liner. The GTR bumper has bolt holes along the front. I assume the ones in the vent correspond to the ones the OEM liner does not have (circled?)   2) The V-Spec front diffuser supplants the brake ducts in the above item. I am assuming these still work with the guard liners as there's no alternate part that I'm aware of. I don't see how they go together, so I'm making the assumption that they have to, somehow. I know the center splash guard is different on the V-Spec (and is the price of the damn diffuser alone). How does the liner interact with this? 3) There's alternate front diffusers that do away with it all. Annoyingly, a lot of the clones and CF different ones... have no brake ducts on them. I like the idea of them though. My brakes get hot on the track. These alternate diffusers are a lot cheaper than plastic splash guards. I'm assuming you don't have to/aren't supposed to remove guard liners to run a diffuser. I suspect that quite a few people actually do not run the guard liner because with a front undertray you're getting a lot of 'splash' guarding anyway, and most people remove liners given they're probably running a pretty aggressive setup with a diffuser at the front. It would also be nice to know if anyone has ever run the 'reproduction' guard liners and know whether the fitment is OEM quality or "OEM Quality". Example: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/356254671561 https://carbonetics.net/products/nissan-skyline-r34-gtr-plastic-front-wheel-arch-set Is this knowledge still around?
    • Really, effort is pretty low. You hand fistfuls of cash over to someone else and pick it up when done...   And at least this shitbox isn't drinking coolant right?  
    • And most chargers that most DIY people own would put bugger all power back into the battery between cylinders. I've always done it with jumper packs/second battery connected. And that's on any car.   Because race car, and wanting the lightness.  At least in an R33, putting a bigger battery in can at least help shift the weight balance backwards
