End result is awesome Terry.

They came out from Japan on the Bayside Blue one behind > went across to the Pearl Black one here > The black car was sold and I kept the wheels.

Hi Again Luke,

Terry-72.jpg

I opted for an exact match with the Omori Nismo Black which I like.

But the Omori rim is limited to 9.5" wide, and the above is 10.5"

Why not gloss?

Besides the above reason, I've seen enough gloss black rims before to put me off.

I know it's subjective, but the main objective reason I profess to is that gloss black shows the slightest bit of dust/dirt/grime. Satin is much more forgiving after a day out.

Thanks for your comments!

N1!?!?!? When did this happen Terry?!

Bit of a time warp of excitement Ric hehe...!

It seems like ages ago that I sold you some rims.

But hey, time moves on and so, congratulations on becoming an SAU.VIC Exec :thumbsup:

You'll be an asset to the team!

This poor wheel has had a crack reform right through a TIG weld. (I have to thank Steve-0 and Simon for getting me going temporarily)

I've had it done again via a different workshop in Unanderra ie Nigel at "Spot On Wheel Repairs" (thanks hugely to Humbla who transported me around, so I wouldn't be stranded)

So this weld will have been done properly with a "V" cut done on both sides of the crack and hopefully it won't shift > crack again.

My car came without a space saver either, so I was farked initially. Bought one off fatz.

So now this rim has a couple of minor scratches & I'm thinking of getting a single replacement when one comes up F/S.

I have another set > these are my 18"x9.5" GT500 track wheels (which are now a discontinued item) > there are people I need to thank! :)

* Aaron of Import Monster got these for me - second hand set of LMGT4 GT500 (without centre caps). He informed me that these were scratched up but not damaged.

* Chris Thomson of Craved Coatings had them powder coated in "Nismo Black" for me. He wasn't happy with the sandblasting, so he sacked that firm and employed another.

* Pete aka PLYNX here on SAU made up some LMGT2 Centre Caps to fit (exactly into the GT500 recess). He did this from scratch = Brilliant!

* Simon aka OWGASM here on SAU has offered to lend me a collar for PLYNX to make a copy. I'm yet to accept - because I don't want to lose it!

* Matt aka God_speed here on SAU for a new set of Nismo Wheel Stickers

GREAT BUNCH OF GUYS EH???

I STILL HAVE MY OTHER SET TOO! :)

They have come up great Terry, super impressed at the centre caps made up from scratch too! I'm always on the look out for a spare set of those, will let you know if I find any on my travels through yahoo :)

These wheels will only go up in value, so it's definitely worth spending the time and money to get them spot on like this.

    • I thought that might be the case, thats what I'll start saving for. Thanks for the info 
    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
    • My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
    • There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.
