Give Aaron of Import Monster an outstanding order for these LMGT1s and...

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

      Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Unpeeling the Orange

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
