Was going to pick up some R34 GTR wheels for my car this weekend (one of many upgrades coming in the next few months) but it turns out the guy sold them the other day without telling me, even though we had already agreed on pricing and everything. So annoying.

Budget of $2k to spend for wheels and tyres, wondering what I should get now those are gone...

Tried hittin up import monster?

Nah the R34 GTR wheels in bronze look way better than the D1R's, every bogan falcodore seems to have D1R wheels.

So hard to find something that suits the aesthetics of the R34 properly, most wheels look so out of place and tacky.

The ONLY reason people like 34R wheels is because they come from a 34R. They look shithouse IMHO.

Professors/miesters look good on Anything... 32, 33, 34, laurel, chaser, smashed through Leeroy's tasteless skull, cima etc.

Also I might have been out of the hire car game for a few years

But $4000 standard excess? Or pay the fkin rort of $40 a day to have no excess? Really?

I hired a car for 1 night - from airport to hotel to airport. Only drove it 20km if that.

Didn't do the excess waiver.

Dropped off car early next day when no hire-car person available to inspect.

Two weeks later, received letter saying they've found damage on the car & will be starting claim.

Googled the company, turns out they are known for pulling this trick, got out of the claim in the end.

Make sure you take photos of the car before/after.

Meisters look amazing on 34.

Nah don't need to, I paid their rort money so the most I can get ripped off is the $40 a day

Rather not spend the weekend worrying about a fkin Micra when I park it or drive

    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn
