Seriously?

Prank, I think you're gonna have to get some drum brakes off a Datto 1200/120Y (thank God for Nissan parts interchangability, hey?) at each corner to fit those wheels on!!!

At least that way, you could get some 12" rims off that same 1200/120Y to substitute if you get a flat - they look about the same size...

:lol:

Wow, not too popular!

And here I was just being blown away by the retro/drift/oldskool/rebel/serious function of those wheels . .

Gotta say I like the look, old school wheels on a newer car. Can't tell you what they're called though.

But I know some guys who might, hang on.

ok guys... thanks! (i think)

apparently they sell for about $650 a rim (without rubber), so **** that!

I was only going to get them as a track wheel... not for everyday street use, i still think they look pretty cool but not as cool as a phat set of 18s or so..

Hey Prank,

I picked up a set of Volk Racing 17s, WITH used Formula-Rs on them for $2,000 from Powerplay.

Check some of the importers, heaps of them change the rims that were on the car when they arrive for something larger/more interesting. Also, smaller 17 or even 16s will be cheaper to buy exotic rubber so that you stick better.

No point getting great looking rims for track days, they just get scratched when your wife thrashes them into the kitty litter:uh-huh:

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
