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

    • You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.
    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
