but dont you have any pride? haha

Mate, it's not like Ford alloy wheels are made by Ford....

Of course one would take a flat head screw driver to the Emblems quick sticks.

Cheers for the info ppls

lol sorry champ I should have been clearer, in my case I change my rears fairly often (track/daily) so I dont give a shit what goes on, more important to me is function and price, not what some may think about X rims on Y car.

Edited by Flipmo
the emblems aren't the problem.

would you put holden wheels on your ford? porsche wheels on ya bmw?

didnt think so

Actually some people would do those kinds of things.

great, thanks dude! jsut got to sought out these offsets

yeah be careful, i had a BA xr6 before my axis and I've got two sets of mags in the shed off (a set of 17's and 19's) it but only the 17's fit. the 19's hit the front calipers as the offset is different to the 17's

i had r34 gt-t wheels on my magna. offset was slightly different but they did the job

something else to take into consideration is that the hub centre holes may be different, so you may need egg rings to make them site on the hub properly so that the wheels studs aren't taking all of the load. in the case of the r34 wheels i had to actually make the hole bigger so it would fit over the hub. a mate of mine who put r33 wheels onto his hilux had to do the same

    • What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.
    • Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!
    • No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
    • Welcome mate. Any pics? Even with a DE I'd be well happy if I had that as a 1st car.
