Those rims are tight. I like them. I have 18" rims. How much bigger can i go legally?

and where do i buy rims similar? I like chrome, especially if it stands out and is flashy.

I bought mine from Import Monster www.importmonster.com.au

As to how much bigger you can go legally, I'm not too sure. But there are a couple of very knowledgeable people in that regard on this forum.

Yes, but the Latinos and African Americans do not put them on imported Japanese cars.

As a suggestion, have a look at the rims on my car. They are chrome. 19" with deep dish and staggered. They look fantastic IMHO. I have had lots of compliments on them, but I have also had some people on this forum say that they don't like them simply because they are chrome.

But you can definitely do chrome with style.

The poster above with the pic of the white sedan with the chrome rims. They look fantastic also.

Good luck with your search!!!

Those wheels on the sedan are not chrome, they are forged wheels.

The rules can be found on the RTA web site here.

As for the wheels, they're hideous. As a general rule of thumb, if it's made by Vault then it's going to look tacky and cheap. If they're sold at Tempe, you can be sure that the offsets will not suit a V35.

Those things do look like hubcaps. The little bit of dish will help, but it's not going to offset the size of the spokes (fat spokes are a classic hubcap technique, since they hide the steel wheel underneath) and a lot of the "hubcap" look comes from the really cheap chroming that they do on these wheels. It doesn't have the bright and deep look of real metal, but more the "painted on plastic" finish you find on hubcaps (or Hot Wheels cars). Then in a few months, the chrome starts to cloud and they start to look even cheaper.

There are some quality chrome wheels (the Weds Kranze LXZ's on my mate's S14 would look sweet on a V), but unfortunately they're expensive.

If you put those rims on your not gonna impress anyone. Let's face it, as much as we would like impress ourselves, we also want others to go WOW! when they look at them instead of things like "who the f**k put chromies on a skyline!!?!"

Think i just regurgitated the ribs i ate last night which is a good and a bad thing. Can still taste the smokey BBQ sauce yummm

Anyways, there are plenty of quality "chrome" wheels to choice from. Its actually polished, not chrome but i won't get picky:

What style are you after though? Dish? Concavity, fat spokes, thin spokes, chicks with dicks etc etc

But if you remotely liked those tempe tyre specials that you posted in the OP, i think youre beyond help buddy

I am sorry to say that I agree with most of the people here, BIG CHROMIES of that nature do not have a place on a skyline

I have a set of Work VS SS on mine, chrome rim with powdercoated centers, and they look great.

Iamhe77 has a set of Nismo (I believe) GT5', all chrome on his m35 stag, they suit the car,

As for the rims you showed us they would probably suit an old Monaro more than a Skyline.

      Quieter performance exhausts (or muffler add-on options)

      Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win?

      Quieter performance exhausts (or muffler add-on options)

      By f00stx · Posted

      So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?

      The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.

      Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.

      Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks
