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.

    • Apologies for the long post, but needed somewhere to lay out the entire timeline of events and actions taken:   I've got an 89 GTR with a R34 RB in it. It's been running great all year, driven probably 500KM in the last month. It's not my daily driver, just a weekend fun car.    Build info: R34 RB26 - HKS 2.7 stroker kit, HKS adjustable cam gears, HKS turbo upgrades, Trust intercooler, R34 factory DENSO 440cc injectors, JUN chipped/tuned R32 ECU. All of this work was performed in Japan back in 2019.    Thursday 10/2/25 - It's a nice day and decided I'll drive it to work, I start it up in the garage and I notice it took a few extra cranks and sounded a bit funny. I figure maybe it was just because it was a pretty chilly morning. I pull it out into the driveway to warm up a bit before leaving. As I leave the driveway, it feels very off and sounds like a misfire. I pull it back in the garage to deal with after work and take the daily to work. I was able to diagnose it as a cylinder 5 misfire with the old spark plug test (unplugging each plug until a sound change with the engine running). I take off the whole ignition system, ignitor, plugs, spark. *Important note, it is still on the R32 ignition system with the separate ignitor system. I test each system with a multi-meter and nothing presents as a smoking gun. I put it all back together and it starts up no issue. I go ahead and order the PRP R35 ignition conversion kit. It should arrive today (10/13/25)   Friday 10/3/25 - Another nice day, car starts up great and drives great all day. Very pleased that everything seems to be OK   Sunday 10/5/25 - Decided I'll take it to play some golf, load up and drive to the course about 25 minutes away. Drives wonderful the whole way there, I pull in the parking lot and the engine completely comes to a stop. I do not recall if it sputtered at all, but just remember all of the sudden the engine was off. I roll it into a parking spot, try to crank it back on and nothing.  It'll crank and crank and not even try to start. End up getting it towed back to my house and push it up into the garage.    Items I have checked: Fuel in the tank Fuel Pump relay Fuel pump fuse  Spark Plugs & gap Coil packs Ignitor    I know the cylinders are getting fuel as the plugs smell like fuel after a start attempt. I tried spraying starter fluid into the manifold and cranking and not even a sputter.    I decided to do the live CAS test (removing the the CAS, ignition on and spinning the CAS stalk to see if the injectors pulse and spark is active). All of the injectors were pulsing and I have spark at the plug. The half-moon end of the CAS did seem very loose, I'm not sure how much play is supposed to be there, but it was more than I expected. There was no in/out play of the shaft, just the tip end that is pinned on had quite a bit of play.    CAS Play video   When I put the CAS back in, I stupidly did not re-time the engine. I know I need to do that tonight, however, I do not think it will start given it seemingly was not the issue. My plan is to do the PRP R35 coil kit and retime the engine at the same time.    I plan on ordering the Haltech Nexus Plug-in ECU once they are available again, but ideally would like to get this sorted before firing the parts cannon at it and potentially adding more variables.    Anything glaring that I am missing here, I'm a bit at a loss?          
    • Get it on a dyno. Get something logging Consult. Run it up and find out what is causing it.
    • Looking for a plenum for rb25 de+t neo  Not looking to push much power maybe 300kw at the wheels, is there much difference in flow for Freddy “Greddy style” compared to original Greddy or options like Proflow or Otaku garage?    I won’t be porting the de Neo head for now as I think it’ll be fine 280-300rwkw but appreciate the help and any experiences anyone has between them and any advice. Thanks  Looking at this plenum for now below 
    • engine wise almost no mods: stock ecu Greddy front mount intercooler Greddy forward facing intake w R33 TB stock fuel system, stock injectors, rail etc. Kakimoto racing hyper 3 inch exhaust system Apexi intake filter New NGK –R BCPRES (.8 gap) plugs  
    • Nice one @Pac - looks like a fair few 1600's there!
