Yeah I know about that site (its where I got the links to the pictures I posted before).

I was looking at the JTGC(sp) Skylines/350z and what they have on, they look slanted. That's the look I want basically.

Lucien, very nice photoshop there. Love the wheels but one thing that has stopped me from ordering these, or my fave Nismo LMGT4's is the lack of dish!!! Yes the inward slanted spokes issue had always confused me. I thought it was an offset issue? In any case I have just found out that my Brembos do not fit under my BBS LM's!!! I am not 100% sure but my mechanic seems to think they might not fit. In this case I will HAVE to buy new rims (or opt for spacers). So, time's a tickin!!!! Deep dish WORK Meisters or LMGT4's or TE37's! ARGH! It's headache material for sure.

justinfox: well, they aren't really a dish style wheel, but there are plenty of similar designs (copies, on might suggest) that incorporate a dish if that's what your after :)

Personally I don't mind the lack of dish because I like the styling of the TE-37s. Offset will effect the slanting, but AFAIK they all have some inwards slant.

Its a little hard to make out, but those are Nismo LM GTMAG's I believe. They are made under license by Rays/Volk, and are basically a TE-37 varient with one less spoke and a slightly different design around the wheel nut area.

IWells, have you got your rims yet???

Actually, since you mention is, they are being loaded into a car for transport on wednesday: car leaves bound for Syney on saturday so all being well I should have them in three weeks.

But things ever goes according to plan when it comes to the import game :D

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
