These wheels dont need any intro, if you have not heard of them or dont know about them then you cant have them cause you could not appreciate them :P

Alll jokes aside, one of the lightest wheels ever made, and are ideal for a nicely put together street or even better track car due to the reduce unsprung weight you will shave off. Without tyres they weigh around 6kg each.... forged, superstrong and tough and super rare. If anything the price of these is going up.

$1800

Cant agree with you mate, maybe for the stance crew they are not perfect however they are pretty close if not the same offset as how the Nissan engineers designed the car.... and I guess you could say they did their research when they made it.... for performance these will be excellent!

meh, 3mm spacer up front then....

Sorry but the solution is not quite that simple. A particular offset does not mean the wheel will have the same track across all rim widths.

To have an 8" +35 and a 9" +38 sit the same track wise, you would need to use 9.5mm spacers with the 8" rims.

Then you have the issue with a 255 providing more rotational grip than a 235 which I believe isn't good for the attesa system.

On top of this you have the rolling diameter variances between the two different sized tyres, which could, via the difference in wheel speed sensors readings, make the car think it is constantly losing grip either through the front or rear depending on what these differences are.

In saying that, these are very light wheels and I have a set myself (albeit a square set) and they are discontinued and a lot rarer than some of the other wheels out there these days.

They would be suited to an s chassis or rwd r chassis owner wanting to run big rubber without risk of guard fouling.

Good luck with the sale.

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      Given you're running a 2.8 and my 2.5 is not really like for like, I suspect there could be a bit more timing you could give it. What is the kW yield per degree you're putting through it? Here's my E85 map to give you an idea, where it was I could still get another 3~4kW per degree thrown at it.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      It turns out that Setrab make a fan specifically for the oil cooler which is great and I've installed it with minimal swearing. I removed my 2x 12in push fans from the front of my aircon condenser and wired them into this. My main thermo fans kick on when I use the aircon anyway and would effectively already be working as puller fans through the condensor which is infront of the rad. The push fans (understandably) didn't really do much in the config they were previously in so now they're out. Now we're on to the "Oil fan doesn't really do much either!". Yes I'll duct it next if it does nothing in heavy use which it shouldn't. But hey, the object exists and fits great and is cool. Let me have this. The car is still in the "do my fittings leak oil now? do my wheels actually rub?" phase. I did a spirited drive on them and didn't hear or feel anything. Then I got back home and noticed there were grind marks on the inside of the rims, though I couldn't see where they were touching I got out the grinder and attacked the suspects. Note: I do not know how to use a grinder. Then I realised I had dragged my new rims across my concrete driveway before I did this drive. I didn't think I had damage at that time when I briefly looked...... but remembered this occurred after I did all the angle grinding. The grinding on the wheels in some very specific spots. It's not around the whole rim for example, which lines up with dragging it across concrete more than hitting a suspension component for even 1 full rotation. So everything is currently painted and taped up and I need to test it some more to see if it really IS rubbing, but from inside the car it doesn't feel like it is. In other news I attempted to do a before and after comparison of the heads/cam upgrade thing. Dynos lie, everything is in different measurements. Here is the data from the sandown back straight. Car go faster than before. Vroom vroom.

      Here's my base ignition. +3 correction to redline when shooting water/meth which is always on. Looking at my old ignition table, I should be able to add 1-2 degree's next time I'm on the dyno.  Let me know your thoughts.

      Given what I know now - same haha, but this was 12 years ago with second hand 740cc Nismo injectors in my S15 daily, I was too busy hunting elsewhere for the issue to even look at the injectors, running through some cleaner was a happy coincidence haha

      Not a terrible idea. But if I ever had concerns that my injectors were sufficiently dirty to be causing me a problem, they would be out of the engine and onto the actual injector cleaner/testing bench.
