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

    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
