Hey Guys,

Recently I did a big makeover on my r33... Sold my te37 rims, and went back to my volk challenges but in 18, and bought a gtr wing with black blade, black end caps and also blacked up my rims and also 400r skirts....

This is where the car is at the moment, so which style do you prefer, style 1 (All white) or style 2 (The new style with the white n black theme?)

Let me know what you think...

Cheers

white... get the rims back to white asap =-]

Also get some DBA gold slotted and drilled discs, and paint your calipers gold with white NISSAN text.

That would be the look that I would go for, but then everyone's tastes vary. =-]

Im painting the calipers metalic blue when I get the time... That way it will match the inside of the rim... You cant really notice the inside of the rim from those pics, however they are metalic blue with silver plates...

black looks good dude, haha no dont take the white rims back hehe.

ill send yuo a pick of my car when i get the white rims on it.

HAHA, im set on the current rims, if you ever see the current rims in person, you will know why :P

Only downside about white is cleanliness... Car looked shitt if they were dirty, therefore cleaning them on a weekly basis became a ritual

Please do send pics once there on :(

should have kept the te37s man..

So one week have them on, and then da other week, have your challenges..

So best of both worlds!!

But then again, probably waste of money having 2 sets of rims..

I like the way it is now..

Its a GTS badge, the bottom is a "S", not a R... hehe :cheers:

Some more pics when it wasnt so overcast...

Carbon bonnet is on the cards, however I got GTR rear pods going on soon....

Its better with the black wheels, less cleaning :)

    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
    • Neg, the top one is actually for the front. The sizes are 18x10.5 +18 and 18x11 +32.   I measured many times but I'm sure I'll have problems as this is the thread for problems.
    • Just one thing; tapping tapered threads is tricky. Taps are always tapered and you would generally run it as far as you can, but with a tapered thread you have to stop much sooner otherwise the wide part of the taper will run in too far and you will have to thread the sensor in too far too as well (possible that it will never make a good seal) BTW nice wide wheels, I guess the top one is for the back!
    • Welp, good to know. Will have to wait awhile until steady hands with drills and taps are available. In other news, these just arrived! I will weigh them for posterity. Edit: 11kg each (or 10.9/11.1 depending on what my scale decides over multiple tests, the 18x11 don't seem to weigh noticeably any more than 10.5)
