Hey guys,

A few weeks I put a thread up on here asking for some help in choosing the right size rim /wheel for my 260RS.

I ended up getting a set of 19" Enkei RP03's in SBC, I found a contact through another forum and the guy who imported these for me now has a website http://jdmwheelimports.com.au

The exact dimensions ended up 19X8.5 +22

Check out the Gallery from the link above for some photos I took after all the work was done. I was able to get rid of the spacers too and handling has improved dramatically - feels like a sedan now around the corners... I think I might need proper bucket seats now as the grip I'm getting now makes the corners quite savage on boost. Having the extra width and the fact they come right out to the edge of the guards has made a real difference.

Anyways, the who imports alot of these rims in is Matt... we would've sent some 30 emails back and forth and he ended up finding me a set from the US (nobody else could get these in SBC anywhere) they were also cheaper than any of the current Enkei rims in AUS. A real professional, for all the time he spent talking to me and his suppliers I would highly recommend anyone else looking for rims to talk to Matt. Total cost to me imported from the US was $2200... I think these rims were close to 1K each in SBC in AUS though they are a discontinued line now here.

I got my Kumho KU31's from option1garage.com.au (Brisbane based) speak to Storm.. he was great and they discounted heavily too.. a full set of 235/35's for a little over $800. Not bad when I've seen some traders selling these $480 a pop. This setup of rim and tyre has saved a fraction over 5kg's per wheel and I can feel the difference in acceleration off the mark.

The folks to put this all together were Nundah Tyre Plus... they are a new store and the managers name is Michael....they spent quite a bit of time on this job too as I was working out what my options were, they only charged $180 for a full balance and wheel alignment back and front and the reports they give you at the end was a nice touch. By far the best tyre place I've been too ever and I've been to a few that I wouldn't say squat about.

Anyways, been meaning to post something for a while as all the people I've given a plug too really did deserve it, if anyone around the area wants a no fuss all class service I wouldn't look past any of these guys. I've got more photos I'll get around to putting online so you can see some more angles on what has ended up being one of the best mods I've done to date.

If anyone is wondering how the paint on an old 97 car came up so good... I just did a polish and gloss coat using Autoglym. That makes such a big difference on top of the pearl and clear coat that AUTECH put on these out of factory.

Hmmm I didn't know the Autech versions had special paint as well. Mine is the same colour as yours (as are most it seems).

      Squeaking clutch/throw out bearing

      By patrickxdf12 · Posted

      Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4

      S15 Spec R

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
