You laugh now, but when I'm at a formal occasion with a shitty DJ and they need someone to drop Dre beats...I have something up my sleeve.

Brb, flying overseas to queue up for 2min noodles.

Fkn whats with all these Rota etc dudes though "Oh I'm not cashed up so I've GOTTA buy fake wheels NEW" Tonnes of nice jap rims about for even less coin than rotas

I don't get with all the hate with fake wheels though

If people run the rip off 'original manufacturer' argument, how many of these guys have ever downloaded music/movies illegally?

If people run the argument of structural rigidity, i think it has also been proven that some manufacturers holds its own in track sport events

I don't have fake wheel but if someone i wouldnt care.

A majority of the hard parker crowd are P plater with $10k cars. Buying genuine rays for 30-40% of the value of the car should be frowned upon more than running fake wheels :/

in this case the issue was him asking about how his Volk and TE37 SL stickers looked on his rotas....

shit for a daily who cares what you run just don;t pretend they something diffrent.

for track work, well that a different matter.

Recently I broke a wheel that was lent to me after I split my own tire in half.

The wheel that was messed up was a Work Emotion CR Kai.

Did consider just buying a pair of rotas in the same colour, and wondering if anyone would know.

There's so many that look so identical, that if you put on genuine stickers on what are essentially COMPLETE BLATANT RIP OFFS no one would know. Not realty. Enough that you'd never suspect it.

Which means that if you designed these wheels, you'd be pretty angry at someone blatantly copying your product for half the price.

It's wheel piracy :P

I've been running Rota's on the track for 3 years now and the only issue I've had is the paint chipping and bubbling easily compared to genuine wheels but I guess they'd all get pretty hammered on the track anyway.

      Coolant leak?

      Put another overflow bottle (ie, a 1.25 coke bottle or similar) under the overflow hose and see if it is being pushed out there or if it is disappearing into the engine.

      Staring on a stand is no issue. You just have to wire everything up, give it fuel and cross your fingers that the stand is robust enough. Arranging the inlet plumbing is often the hardest part, without any surrounding structure to hand some of it from. No need for coolant if you only want to run it for <1 minute. As to the gearbox - I think the little Aisin box is a bit stronger than the other small Nissan boxes that went behind SRs, but I wouldn't be too keen to test its limits with the torque of a boosted 25. I don't know if you can retain the box and the tailshaft. The box won't connect to the RB without an adapter of some sort, which is either a plate that will push the engine forward (which is not good for fitting it into the bay's available space) or push the box back, which messes with the box position and tailshaft length - OR - cut and shut work on the bellhousing, which is a long way from "least modification". I'd be buying a new 370Z 6 speed or similar, doing what has to be done to that to make it fit RB (ie, cut and shut bellhousing) and the requisite tailshaft custom/mods.

      Hi Everyone I am from West Pennant Hills in NSW. Been too busy until recently to attend to my RB25DET Series 2 engine until recently. I am planning to stick it into the S15 shell at this stage, unless a nice SR20DET turns up... For now, i am going to try and get the RB25 running and working well then decide what gearbox to use. My preference is to retain the SR20DET  6 speed gearbox and tail shaft to retain as much and least modifications as i can avoid. I am an old guy and won't be doing any heavy drifting so i don't need a bullet proof gearbox Does anyone have experience with starting the RB on a stand? I got everything setup as much as I can with the info i can find... endless searching and videos on Youtube I would be great to get some pointers Cheers Songo
