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 ;)

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

    • Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win? 
    • So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?
    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
    • Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.
    • Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks
