are the rims polished Nismo LM GT4's?? I WANT these rims, not polished, just the normal silver ones, so if anyone has any 17" ones or knows where to get em, 1st or 2nd hand, lemme know! :D

if they're not GT4's, they are VERY similar.

i'm sorry Adz, i may just have to get these LM rip offs :( - I'm not too keen on the brand new idea, and finding second hand 17" Silver LM GT4's is VERY VERY VERY hard. Of course i'd love the real thing, but i don't think it's possible.

thanks for the info Rezz, and i apologies in advance if i buy a set! :D Unless you can find me some 2nd hand 17" silver LM GT4's? :D :D :D

what company makes these? is it Taiyaya? All up they are about $1,100 AUD for a set. Which is pretty good considering 18" real LM GT4's are about $1k a wheel? Was it more than that adz?

how much you reckon a good condition set of Advan Model 5's would go for?

Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuurn Them Alllllllllllll!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ahahahahhaahah - ok then, give me $1,500 x4 or whatever you paid, and i'll go down to Evo-R (??) and pick myself up a set of real ones :D

daniel, I might beat you to it, I'm keen on gettin a set of LM ripoffs as well :D

dude, hook us up! :D Gareth there is a container arriving or leaving early november, i think it might be arriving. I'm not sure. So yeah, if you could hook us up with a set of silver ones (non-chrome) i'd be very interested. Would they fit an R34?

dear me, they are shiny http://page11.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/n7192839 - too shiny if you ask me. Damn it, why does no one have any 2nd hand silver ones, or even real LM GT4's!!!! :D

oooooo baby..... :D

different finish. It's a bad pic, but maybe you could get it finished a little different. i think there are some places that do it.

I'm pretty sure I saw that black GTR the other day - funnily enough it was when i was down at the dock visiting my own black GTR. It was a bit of a spin out.

He had silver LMGT4s and number plate was AWB.

I am going to get LMGT4s for mine. I love the stock wheels but on the GTR the offset isnt very aggressive and hence they sort of sit back in from the edge of the guards too far.

I just dont know which colour yet, all of them would look good on a black R34. White, bronze or silver????

D-Spec wheels (if you've seen them in real life) have a very special spoke design that, even though they have moderate offset (+30), they look like the spokes are dished right into the center of the wheel, almost like they have +0 offset (a la Volk TE37s for AE86).

The LM GT4s only look "+0 offset deep spoke" style when they are for GT-R offsets/widths. Usually for GTS-ts and GTS25-ts the GT4s look fairly ordinary. Don't bag me for that comment, I see GT4s ALOT and I don't fancy them so much anymore.

    • I don't think the shuffle can damage the turbos. It only happens at low shaft speeds and loads. It's just annoying (to some people - others are tickled by the effect) and it quite possibly reduces spool performance a little bit.
    • Oh dear. The panel beating needs to be done before the filler work. Do you have a photo of the dent before you started? Hard enough to not flex and only hit the high spots?  What do you mean it was just temporary? 
    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly.
