Don't listen to Hamish mate he's angry at the world and the popularity of D1Rs. They are a great looking wheel, but like all cheap wheels, will have your wheel balance issues above 100km/he unless you get frequent wheel balancing.

I get cheap wheel balancing and alignment so not a major issue on that front. Just can't decide on which one to go for. Dish or concave? In terms fo fitment they'll both be pretty similar going by pics.

Do like. but dont like the outter bolts. paint that shit black.

as for gloss or matte... matte will probs go out of fashion soon

True that mate, good point. Might consider getting the studs black too, didn't think of that.

If the wheels are brand new in matte black, is it as simple as getting a place to clear coat them to make them gloss? Or do they ahve to strip the matte off and re-colour in gloss black?

Ahhhh I was thinking the exact same Varrstoens as what you've got but the only offsets they offer are +20 which, believe it or not, are too aggressive for the fat VE guards. A bloke had 19" Varrstoens like yours on his VE and he eneded a lot of guard work apprently. Tough look though.

Really?!?! f**k yeah! Do I contact the aussie distributor or Varrstoen directly?

And do they do them in 20s? 19s Are too small for the big VE body :(

Pulsar is up and running, hopefully pick it up tomorrow. Will put up a vid of first start tonight. nothing sounds better than lumpy cams and an incorrect base idle. aw yeah.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
