Guys i am looking as some you may know for a set of rims i am a fussy bastard and can't decide what to get. I am currently looking at a set of Buddy Club P1's in silver or bronze. they will be 17 x 8 and 17 x 9.

So my main questions are

I would like to know what other wheels you guys think are nice (hopefully you will have similar taste as me ;) but no chrome and they have to be either 17's or 18's)

In the buddy clubs which would you think goes better with black the bronze or silver

if i do get 17 x 8 and 17 x 9's what is the actual width tyres i should put on them eg 235/50/17 and 265/50/17 or can i actually go 45's ???

last but not least does anyone in canberra actually have these rims ??? i wouldnt mind seeing what they actually look like on the car.

ultimatly i know its my choice etc but i would like to know others thoughts :)

White looks good on black, but i reccomend the P1s in the Bronze, or even Gun metal.

As for tyre size, you can go down to 40 man, i had 40 profile on my 17s on the last car.

I run 35s on the 18s i have, they are 18x10 and 18x9 with 255/35 and 265/35 just for a reference.

You can probably stretch 235/40 onto the back, but i'd say go for something around 245/45 perhaps. But ask your tyre shop, they'll be able to say for sure what you can and cannot fit.

Go Black - you never go back. Enkie for the race/track look or Spoked 18"'s. I'll get the name & pics of the sort I'm thinking of. BrB.

Chromes for Class - Black for Track

Schmick - Check these out http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/classifie...=1&cat=3&page=5

Black, Advan Super Racing three spoke, running 245 front and 255 rear Yokohama AVS 102's, work just jim dandy.

There is only one colour in the known universe = black, all other perceived colours are just shades of black.

hey sinista and others cheers for the replys :( small drama with those ones you showed me

Selling for $3000 with rubber....

budget is for a max of about $2400ish but hopefull less. with the budy clubs i should hopefully be able to get them for around $1400 @ my door then a set of st115's or something grippy to keep me happy we will see as i said :) their was a set of 19 x 8 i think lenso muse out at trojan motorsport which looked nice :)

I have a set of rims that came with my skyline - I fitted standard R34 rims and the old ones are sitting around. (How is the skyline going Nathan?).

They are Advan RG 17x8.5 and 17x9.5. I didnt think they looked good on a white R34 but they may suit another combination.

The rims are lightweight and would be ideal track-day rims.

Anyone interested.

Rob

lol andrew typical of you bigger is better :( hehe na i dont want 19's for a couple of reasons

1. the ride will be bumpy as hell = homo

2. i refuse to pay $500 for a tyre :)

rob thanks for the offer but not what i am after :) though if you want to part with your gt-t rims let me know :)

local yes sydney no ;)

http://www.tempetyres.com.au/products_clos...nch&part_no=330

i know they will be a little wider but they shouldnt be more than $300 a piece i would think + i can generally bs alot to get the price down hehe

I was going to edit my post and say "but most Canberra shops are a rip off anyway" but ill just post again :D

Be wary also, rumor going around is Falken have stopped production of their motorsport tyres (the Azenis range, including ST115, ST215, RS-V04 etc). Tempe couldnt get me any Azenis in the size I needed, and another place also confirmed Falken has "temporarily" ceased production.

But if they have them, its usually $60 or so for delivery down by overnight courier... awesome service :D

    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.
