We just had Braid make us some new wheels for the GIO and Winfield Car.....they where about $600 a rim delivered. Pretty sure if you have the design they will remake em in stud or centrelock.

Surely a multi-piece rim is going to have a LOT more engineering and design considerations than a s1-piece, and thus cost a lot more. Pretty cool that they can do that though.

Just a quick update, the car has been at the tuners where the final mechanical touches have been done, including tomei cam gears, power steering cooler, id2000 injector plus fuel rail install, hooked up fuel surge tank plus twin 044s, installed haltech duel wideband.

All was looking good and we looked set to go testing this Sunday at Wakefield until the vipec decided to pack it in :(

It was doing all sorts of weird codes and asking to set parameters for things that don't exist on the car ie, set parameters for electronic throttle ??? You have no option but to set something, so after trying for two days to get thru to the vipec dealers ( they did not respond once) we decided to ditch the vipec and purchased a haltech platinum pro, they seem to have a good network of technical guys who will actually help you not ignore you.

Car is back on the dyno on Monday, we will post results

Looks like the car will be ready for Circuit Club on the 7th of October. If you're out there and see a very slow, blue Skyline that will be me :)

Looking forward to finally getting some time in the car and hopefully start working on those lap times.

Back on the topic of the mirrors, the GKtech's don't appear to be suitable. Should I go for genuine ganadors? Are there any other options?

Quick update.

On the dyno at Race Solutions. These guys have been fantastic to deal with:

Engine Bay with new fuel reg, fuel rail, tomei cam gears and power steering cooler. Nothing too exciting but progress all the same :)

Awesome Mario thanks for posting. Looks like I have most of the decals sorted but this is a really good idea :)

Got any pics of the Primera?

Cheers!

      Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?

      By sonicii · Posted

      Yep, it was only an option on the Q50 Hybrid.  Same in Japan as far as I know. And doesn't use a centre diff like the Suby's do, so not the same as the WRX.  But it also isn't a reactive AWD like other Nissan AWD vehicles are, eg. Murano/Xtrail/etc.

      You should have got a Maine Coone then. Only thing is they're big. But so cool, and just like a dog. Or, just get yourself a high performance dog. That'll teach you for wanting Parkour indoors 😛

      Are you thinking of Bens R32? I don't remember if his went through the bonnet itself, but it went through the chassis rail. Brad (RISKIN) bought it, and turned it into a track car. It's funny how anti people are of Jim Berry now. I remember when I pulled mine out (during an engine change) and inspected it and found it cracking badly. At that point in time so many people were even on SAU, were so pro Jim Berry, and that was after Bens GTR exploded his quite publically.

      That's one of the reasons I got that breed, they look weird, the other reasons are they small, they are very vocal, and run around like they are on crack, I didn't want a breed that just sits around, these two are like kids on red cordial  My daughter has one, and it's a laugh riot, constantly doing Parkour around the house, sits on her shoulder, plays catch, and constantly runs around the house taking turns chasing the dog around, her Bermese though, just lays around with constant bitch face, and just looks on in utter disgust at the cat and dog playing together

      I'm getting PTSD flashbacks seeing that name again.  With my turbo swift, I got 1,500km of street use on a Jim Berry clutch before it exploded and took out my input shaft with it.
