What wheels are those? DNA origin?

Rota Grid inspired wheels made by Rays Engineering. They're Gram Lights 57D in 18x9.5 +22.

Btw I'm trying to convince Benny to do a DBW, DBW Pedal, and wire in patch loom for RBs with connectors terminated. He said he would think about it, I said you could whor3 it out on SAU very easily.

I would certainly get one, all the hard work done just need to patch in 6 pins and done!

They aren't 57D as they are a 7 spoke design not 6, also looks very different.

Yeah i have been in his ear about that sort of stuff however Powertune have got that market pretty stitched up tbh. Most of it is for GT-R's tho, and gtst people only spend $ but GT-R owners are happy to spend $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Lol... No idea man, I better go check, I know they're Gram Lights haha.

Powertune kit is so Motec centric though, gah. I'll end up making my own kit, just cbf.

Just need a z33 pedal, 74mm bosch throttle body, relay with fuse and half a dozen wires. Depending how insta spec you want the wiring it's a few hours.

Just go get a roll of red 3mm from supercheap, electrical tape and solder the joints to the z33 pedal loom. Maybe be fancy and use some dual wall heatshrink ? 

 

We could nearly get a "group" buy, I've got a trade account with TAARKS and we could get someone like @iruvyouskyrine to make all the patch/aux looms for the DBW and pedal.

Then all we would need to do is just pin in 6x wires into our ECU of choice.

If done correctly and supported its fine but will definitely lose momentgram followers. 

I really should finish my car with DBW so can have a proper go at a few of the features.

Yeah making the wiring is easy, organizing the group buy and actually getting people to pay is usually the hard part ?

Haha very true, let's work something out.

I can supply all the DBW units, and pedals. I'll message TAARKS and see if I can get better than trade pricing for 5 of each.

    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
    • Wow! how times change 2017 $15k seems expensive... now $30-$50k is the price.
