Selling my 17 inch Tommy Kaira 3 piece signature rims I believe they are from the R33 Tommy Kaira special, be great rims for someone that has a Tommy Kaira or wants to buildd a replica (sorry I only have the rims, some parts can be ordered from Tommy Kaira eg some of the badges). They looked good on stock R34 GTT but not wide enough for the body kit and customization I have done. Second hand value they are worth 10k plus. They have good tyres and only need slight touch up (or colour code to your car/liking for a custom look). I have them sitting in my garage as spare wheels and tyres (hence not actually used anymore) I'm willing to consider reasonable offers & may even accept other rims as part payment (subject to suitabilty for my car and me liking them). Negotiable on shipping.

Seems some of you just don't get the point, thread cleaned off smartasses, again.

Next time, you'll just get banned permanently.

Hi Paul and Leigh, in responce to your questions the rims are still available and yes they do fit 5 stud ford pattern. From memory when I sat them on the ef they sat inside the guards so you shouldn't even have to roll your guards to use them (the falcon rims didn't clear the skyline brakes).

A mate has thought about the rims to go on his R34 to go with the tommy kiara r34 dash he has waiting to be installed in his car, but as he is unemployed and has no idea when he could even start paying for them I won't just hold them for him indefiantley. He liked them when we did a test drive on his car compared to the rims and tyres he had on.

Again another issue I have dealt with before... I have now owned the car for several years and am the first owner of the car in Australia, it has taken me to only recently to have the body work almost to the point of how I want it. I only stopped using the rims less than a year ago.The importer made me an offer to get the rims once he realized what they were, but I had way to much work to do on the car then to be able to try and guess what size/width/offset would suit my plans. As such I did not pay a premium for the rims, I paid for the car as a package of what it was in its entirity, this was more than some r34's and less than others depending on the specifics of each car... it was the best one that was within my budget range at the time! In essence it makes your point nute.

2k is still a little lower than I will let the rims go for, if I needed the cash it is an offer I would definatly consider. Good luck with your search, occassionally you can find some that someone doesn't realize what they have or needs gone and you can then get individuals or sets at a great price, but make sure you confirm stud pattern, height, width and offset otherwise you may end up being disappointed with the rims you get.

If I come across any being sold I will try and remember to PM you their details.

    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
