I'm new to the Skyline brotherhood. Have recently purchased R33 sedan, which is fitted with Volk 17's (Don't know model, multispoke design) I need the plastic spanner that should have been supplied with the rim to remove the centre cap covering the wheel nuts. I've tried everybody on the left coast, is there an Australian distibutor in the east?? :wassup:

speaking of volks....the other day i was at a suspension/brakes joint up in tullamarine getting my daily driver (holden commo VR) some new rear shockers....while waiting in the store i looked at a catalog of rims. Looking in the calalog i spotted white 'VORK' rims....on the other side of the rim photo it said 'RAVS engineering'. what a cheap ass rip off! Imagine going up to ur mates 'check out my new VORKS' only to realise u've been stiffed with some crap imitation.

Not sure about being a rip-off. "R" is pronounced as "L" in japanese so maybe the pronounciation has been taken literally....

I once purchased one from West state Tyres on Albany Hwy, Cannington about 2 years ago. I broke mine just recently and these dudes don't stock them any more. But they stock Volk now so maybe if lucky.

Yeah, I've seen those wheels. What a fuggin joke, that's just pathetic. I think they might of been in an Avanti catalog.

    • I know people cry at the price of the Getrag 12-14k for a conversion now, but it really is a nice mid point. Not going to get change from 10k on a gearset installed.  $30k++ for sequential.   I know you run the risk of a damaged used one and parts are hard to get but as a street car gearbox its really hard to beat. If you enjoy a more traditional manual, its the choice no question.
