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.

      I mean, I can confirm the TPS is at 100%.... I can confirm when we installed the TB and setup the cable that the TB was indeed fully open at max pedal travel.. the same 'curve' (WRT MAP vs MAP) existed with the previous setup/TB/manifold as well... No, we did not do a run with no intake connected. I would love to go back in time to do such a run to rule out the intake. It would have also been good to do a run with the airbox lid off. There's a test there where increased IAT vs more available air could be a positive tradeoff. I remember taking the lid off my R34 Turbo setup back in the day and noticing a monster increase, even if IAT's did go up. Could be similar. Hard to test unless I find a very deserted road.

      That's actually encouraging to be honest. my motor was rebuild many years ago but it's probably done less than 30,000kms and fucc all limiter or drift, majority street / drag / roll racing. It'll be fine 💪🏼 I don't even have lines or a can for the cam breathers installed yet, there is zero oil residue or splatter on or around them, it drives beautifully so it seems healthy. Just a ticky lifter, yet they're almost brand new oem genuine Nissan and haven't done many kms at all...

      Have you confirmed the throttle body goes to WOT (and stays there) during the run?

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By silviaz · Posted

      I'm having a problem. I think it was mentioned above somewhere but can't see it.  I'm stuck in the cycle of, sand, filler, low spot again, put filler, sand, low spot again, now i put filler again and a thicker portion which seems to have helped but I got low spots in other areas. In the image. Circled in red thats where the original low spot was and the shape is the same as the red out line. I've more or less fixed that (still low spot up the top but now I have low spots where the green circled part is.  Is likely the issue that I didn't start with a course sand paper? I sanded the filler with 240 to reduce the risk of not going to far but maybe the issue is that I'm only taking off enough material to remove some of the filler but not the high spots. I now started sanding with 120 and I think I'm seeing a difference. I did fix one dent the other 2 are f**ked and seems like I made another low spot which is indicated by the furthest green circle on the left handside. Any thoughts and solutions?   Also second image. All of these rock chips, can they be filled in with primer or do i need to fill them all with filler/putty? So many rock chips on mine lol.
