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 don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
    • Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z
