Oh Nummy. :P

I want me some 33 GTR rims.

Yeah they are just as hard to find! I wasn't going to get a set of track rims just yet as i didn't exactly have the cash to spend BUT these came up at the right price so i had to break the bank :laugh:

How heavy are they per rim?

Compared to the cast XT7's i would say they would be light... The 4 parcels coming have a combined weight of 36kg including the packing materials...

Sure you don't want some SE37's?

Nope, have always wanted a set of black 34GTR rims so now all i gotta do is work out how to clean them up and paint them :D

Tow Car Updates...

The poor cruiser was getting a bit neglected so now it has had full service, big exhaust put back on and some new suspension bushes.... We also decided to replace the floor in the back so we could run Carmens new toy (Weaco 40L fridge)... We are generally useless when it comes to renovating or building anything but we worked OK on this one lol

80L of E85 works wonders -

We plugged all the holes from the old seat brackets etc -

We still need to do some finishing touches and get the fridge bolted down properly etc BUT for all the upcoming track days we will now be sorted! Everytime we go to a day out we find something we can do to make our day better ;)

But...by putting a fridge in there there is less room for tyres!! :P

Cruiser has a big ass roof cage, trailer has about 4ft of spare room... I think we got it covered ;)

Oh and YES in the pictures i was using the 34GTR rims as a work bench for cutting the floor :whistling:

Atleast we know that they are strong haha!

Are you gonna paint them black, Mat? They seem to be in excellent condition as it is...

You going with 275/35's?

Lol yep!

I love the black look and WANT to paint them but i am not sure as yet... That photo makes them look pretty mint but the far one does actually have some rash... Im not sure yet but would hate to break the black/white theme! I see black ones and do like the look of them, would love to change the GTR badge to something else too but not sure if that is possible without too much hassle...

And no, either 255/35 or 265/35 (Leaning towards 265 at this stage)...

The 275 is too tall and puts the speedo out etc....

Ah I see haha. I have a feeling they'll be black soon..

As for the GTR badging, Im in the same situation. I found a ebay seller who has circle Nismo badges in any diameter you want. But they dont even look genuine. Was going to surgery them onto the centre caps if possible. Or just get another set of centre caps and hack the gtr badge off...

Plastidip?

I honestly think this is the best option for now! That way it is cheap but also reversible if needed! I haven't attempted it before but i think Carmen is keen to have a crack at it!

Hmmm these centre caps are too clean to mess with! I know places like StreetFX will make stickers and stuff that would cover the spot nicely but i dont want to ruin the caps! I think i might give Matts idea a crack and see how they look...

    • My thought is if you were just moving it forward and the upstream geometry remained the same, then no difference at all. But because the current one has the filter direct into the AFM inlet, you effectively have the best chance of a completely symmetric air flow profile upstream, and in, the AFM, whilst the aftermarket inlet thingo has a (small, to be sure) bend between the filter and the AFM. That would bias the flow to the outside of the bend (downstream of the bend) which might well reduce the size of the signal seen by the AFM, for the same total flow rate. Having said that: If you're proposing to make your inlet look like a hybrid of your existing one and the aftermarket one, such that there is no bend where the filter is clamped on... then I say it will be just fine. If there is going to be such a bend, then, if you can align the insertion of the AFM blade such that it is at right angles to the plane of the bend, then there is a better than even chance that the centreline velocity where the blade is will remain more or less the same, and the velocity will just be a little faster to the outside of that, and just a little slower to the inside. **This is not professional investment advice and you should consult a suitably qualified ouija board, tea leaves or the intestines of a goat for more accurate prognostication.
    • Hi Tao, Thanks for your reply.  It's been a while and I managed to get the valve stem seals replaced with the head on the car.  Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue, the car still smokes a lot after idling (to be honest during idle you can see a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust), same after deceleration. I will try disconnecting the valve cover breathers, do I leave the PCV valve in? By engine oil drain pipe, do you mean the turbo oil drain?
    • What about if you just give it direct 12v and earth?
    • Hi guys . Can someone help me  I bought an Android screen for my Nissan fuga but it won't turn on   
    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
