Ben also brings in used JDM wheels, the warehouse has some amazing goodies...

I have bought old rims, then got them sand blasted, then powdercoated, all up its about $60 per rim. Looks great too.

He looks good value!!! having said that the wheels are few and far between (offset/size wize) but you never know!

Dan, im going to put 10+kg fronts in mine its about the same as a track s13 would run and withthis new setup i intend to do track days in it,

i didnt get to speak to the flairs guys today but i will do, id say z flairs would fit.

Cheers

arghhhhh!!!!!! what are you doing to me haha they are sick!! but there to big i think?? also i really would love more dish 10-10.5, 11??

im really feeling 16s to be honest but maybe your right??? i really want to nail that image top of this thread though i think 16s look like the go to me.

rotas would save alot of money! (lets not make this into a debate about there quality please!!!) in particular if the fitment is not right it does not cost me 2500!!

also i made these tonight

Dude only 15 Watanabes if you want a legit look like the model.

If that fails, Ben from Otomoto Has owned a DR in the past and currently owns another. If he doesn't know approx specs you would need he may be able to ask someone.

Also keen to see how you navigate cutting the guards as I need to do mine too (harder for me as flairs are already attached).

I have emailed Ben, no response as yet..

I have also been attempting to overlay images over the image of that toy and they really seem bigger than 15"(hence why I'm thinking 16 ATM, if you look at the wheel space at the front in particular and compare that to a car with 15s the wheel on the toy fills it better with a smaller profile tire don't you think?

As for guard cutting! That still gives me nightmares haha, I'll likely get the panel shop next door do it..

    • Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..
    • I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies. 
    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
