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!

      From my youth: GTi-R clutch change is a massive pain. The gearboxes are fragile? But the car is super cool and I want one 😢

      Driveline vibration is resolved. I ended up loosening all my engine mount and trans mount bolts, giving it a good shake then retightening everything and it's gone... Let's just say I was surprised that fixed it.  I've been happily driving it around again but unfortunately put zero time into my direct port/constant pressure WMI setup. I'm on vacation next week, so I'll try and finalize it then.  On a different note, I spent all week fuel/ignition mapping 2x 216L V16 engines. Turbo's were burning glycol and we swapped them out for larger units. We also had planned emissions testing on site, so I figured I'd be there the same week to use their instrumentation and massage any emissions issues out if needed. This was a first for me. Fuel management is similar in certain ways to automotive (i.e air density as load variable) but very different in others. It's all PLC based and AFR's are controlled by air and not fuel. They use a control valve between the turbo and air manifold to control pressure which in turn controls AFR's. Due to this, target AFR tables supplied by the OEM are in pressures and not mass which really through me off. They use air pressure vs fuel pressure tables. I also relied on an O2 concentration sensor the emissions team had in the exhaust. Ignition timing was also all over the place and we were losing a fair bit of power. They're now happily sitting at 16-40BTDC depending on load. We were making about 1600kw at 900rpm at 90% load. Engines were running a lot smoother as well.

      Oil pan for RB25DET NEO Stagea "version"

      By Duncan · Posted

      meh, it was a good video, clear about the issue and how he dealt with it. A bit heavy on the RTV and very brave to put an RB in anything without rebuilding it first, but otherwise I thought it was good Dose, I'm not sure that having the pickup forward is a big issue; yes of course the oil could shift under brakes but the sump should never be empty enough for that to be a problem (unless you also have a higher volume oil pump, and that oil can't return from the head to the sump quickly enough)
