End result is awesome Terry.

Any pics of what they looked like when you got them? Before they were painted?

Sorry Ryan, but this is about the best I can do atm...

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.

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.

Terry-293.jpg

* 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.

      Hi GTSBoy, Excuse my ignorance but what does a "Bad" Knee point mean ?

      HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.

      Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?

      By Duncan · Posted

      The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.

      Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      By CF.Panda · Posted

      By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
