eBay or Just Jap for luck's sake!

Found them on yahoo auction japan as suggested for 134,800 yen. Just trying to get my translator to work better. Actually finding quite a few sets. I saw them on Facebook and really started feeling it. A 18"x9.5" +14 would look good. Was think the Volk Rays six spoke or knock off Rota in black but a white car with those in white might look killer. I don't know... It's a hard decision. I'm have a carbon hood, side mirrors, b pillars, exhaust shield, and full carbon GTR on the boot. Not sure if black wheels would suit it or go white... keep going back and forth. I have silver BBS's on now. I'm re-painting the car at the moment white pearl. Fixing all the body imperfections.

Nismo don't do 'fake', if you can see bolts its because they're holding the wheel together.

Eh not so fast there bud. There's a lot of wheels out there that have bolts in them for decoration. Gives the bead lock or multi-piece rim look. I'm on my phone and pics are not super clear nor large. Real= gotta watch them and keep check on them making sure they don't back out. It also depends if they are a three or two piece. Three piece have a seal or gasket between the two halves while the center hub section holds it together. Two piece is just a center hub and wheel. Fake= Maintained free curb appeal. Doesn't really matter cause it'd think it'd be that much cooler if they were real! If real they must have used aluminum wheel halves with maybe titanium centers or maybe pot brass then painted to blend! That would be killer!!!

Would you guys think it'd be wrong to re-powercoat the wheels possible black or white again? Reason is a lot of these sets I'm locating have curb rash. Some look so bad like touch up welding and straightening is needed

Currently have a set of these on the way to me . One of the best looking wheels around ! Would steer clear of rotas especially when better sets of rims can be found for similar prices . My particular ones are 18x10 +20 perfect for r32 Gtr (when I get one) :)post-9953-1386605107445_thumb.jpg

Jealous! I keep hearing that about Rotas. Rotas fall apart or something?

Found these. They have white lips and not those machined/polished lip like your set. Looks great. They also show paint fade or some kind of burn. Found others but I don't think I found them with that polished lip. Purchasing wheels without a car to install them on is quite ambiguous of you! Something I've done before!! Haha! Bought skyline parts for a car I that wasn't sitting in the driveway yet! Lol what did you get your set for?

sorry if I came across as a dick but as I said, if a nismo wheel has bolts it's because it needs bolts, they don't do them for the look. Anyway great choice of wheels & best of luck with the hunt

No harm no foul buddy. Didn't even come off that way. It's hard to get someone's connotation clearly thru text. Know what I mean? I feel I'm a laid back guy but if you ask my wife, I'm an asshole. Haha

Dont think rotas just fall apart but from my personal experience i wouldnt buy another set not even worth the cheap asking price. Picked my nismos up for similar price as a set of rotas delivered ! Im sure i could put the Nismos on my 34 but my meisters lok so good :yes: and i want a 32

Be patient the right set will come up at the right price ! Good luck

    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
    • See if you can thermal epoxy a heatsink or two onto it?
    • The other problem was one of those "oh shit we are going to die moments". Basically the high spec Q50s have a full electric steering rack, and the povo ones had a regular hydraulic rack with an electric pump.  So couple of laps into session 5 as I came into turn 2 (big run off now, happily), the dash turned into a christmas tree and the steering became super heavy and I went well off. I assumed it was a tyre failure so limped to the pits, but everything was OK. But....the master warning light was still on so I checked the DTCs and saw – C13E6 “Heat Protection”. Yes, that bloody steering rack computer sitting where the oil cooler should be has its own sensors and error logic, and decided I was using the steering wheel too much. I really appreciated the helpful information in the manual (my bold) POSSIBLE CAUSE • Continuing the overloading steering (Sports driving in the circuit etc,) “DATA MONITOR” >> “C/M TEMPERATURE”. The rise of steering force motor internal temperature caused the protection function to operate. This is not a system malfunction. INSPECTION END So, basically the electric motor in the steering rack got to 150c, and it decided to shut down without warning for my safety. Didn't feel safe. Short term I'll see if I can duct some air to that motor (the engine bay is sealed pretty tight). Long term, depending on how often this happens, I'll look into swapping the povo spec electric/hydraulic rack in. While the rack should be fine the power supply to the pump will be a pain and might be best to deal with it when I add a PDM.
    • And finally, 2 problems I really need to sort.  Firstly as Matt said the auto trans is not happy as it gets hot - I couldn't log the temps but the gauge showed 90o. On the first day I took it out back in Feb, because the coolant was getting hot I never got to any auto trans issues; but on this day by late session 3 and then really clearly in 4 and 5 as it got hotter it just would not shift up. You can hear the issue really clearly at 12:55 and 16:20 on the vid. So the good news is, literally this week Ecutek finally released tuning for the jatco 7 speed. I'll have a chat to Racebox and see what they can do electrically to keep it cooler and to get the gears, if anything. That will likely take some R&D and can only really happen on track as it never gets even warm with road use. I've also picked up some eye wateringly expensive Redline D6 ATF to try, it had the highest viscosity I could find at 100o so we will see if that helps (just waiting for some oil pan gaskets so I can change it properly). If neither of those work I need to remove the coolant/trans interwarmer and the radiator cooler and go to an external cooler....somewhere.....(goodbye washer reservoir?), and if that fails give up on this mad idea and wait for Nissan to release the manual 400R
