Mugabetown - Whoretownin' At It's Worst.


Recommended Posts

I just want some cheap 4/5 stud wheels to throw some track tires on, so that I can run them on either car

Now, probably wasting my time, but I have these lying around (tyres not included, unless you want to pay a lot extra)

Do you like roller blades? (narrow is good for skidz..., ask anyone who spent too much on an underpowered 86) :D

Have some 17x7" 45mm offset wheels with 4/5 stud pattern

Enkei 'Orsh Varents'

(the worst one, some nicks on the others though)

Recently repaired and refurbished by Depulu Wheels (courtesy of a suspension shop who doesn't know how to put wheel nuts on the right way around),

Then re-rashed by a clumsy Legnum driver (who never once rashed them himself until after they were refurbed :'( )

And incase you think they are just for 'fagnums', here is one of the only pics of the same wheels on the internet

(no idea if offset is the same though)

    • ..and forum.r31skylineclub has been down all week....anyone know why?
    • I thought it could be an issue because the standard plate was flexing when stressed. Maybe the original gear set will hold a bit better without flex? Last time on the dyno it made around 670nm at the hubs. Now it have bigger turbo and better intake but have not been on a dyno yet. The car is being used from family trips to drag race events. So the shifts can be a little violent. It is grinding if I shift to fast so was thinking I should overhaul it soon.
    • From the factory on RB26s there's a fitting on the intake manifold collector/"plenum" that provides pre-throttle boost signal. That's how they did it back in the day, I figure it's fine to replicate it.
    • I would be surprised if that wasn't the issue. It's probably telling you, that even if you remove the plastic liner, you may have some other clearance issues that may occur too in some scenarios. IE, tyre to guard. It looks like someone has already rolled the lip, but you may still have issues in the future IE, turning and hitting a bump etc. The fact it changes how bad it makes the noise when you are going backward vs forward is highly indicative that it's the tyre rubbing. They do make a terrible sound, even if you're only pushing a project car that has a liner hanging down on a tyre!   Has the car been lowered? If it has been, what is the measurement from the centre of the wheel hub to the lip of the guard straight up?
