pimpin' ?!

pffft.. they're my drift rims. :D

Yeah i'd say pimpin was the wrong word to use, now I look like a 16 year old without a car :)

One hell of an expensive exercise anyway dude... being Vic, did it rain the whole time as well? :D

As I have always maintained. Victoria Sux!!!

That's gotta be more than just running a bit flat for a while. Is there suspension damage as well. Just the extensive wear on the old tyre makes me suspicious. As well, any pothole big enough to crack a rim like that could have caused other damage.

when i recently drove down to melbourne from sydney, i was blown out on how smooth the road was, like i dodged pot holes constantly on the way down and as soon as i hit the border i didnt get 1 pot hole,

drivin down with tein coil overs and a full bodykit scared me at some points i thought i cracked my bar n shit

ben...

try Neale's Wheels in Sydney, sinlge R34 GTR rims sometimes come up on Jap ebay. i'm sure one of our friendly sponsors would scout around for you.

Here you go was looking at this today

One R34 GTR rim :D

FWIW,

When I bought my first R32, it had 18x10 BBS wheels one of which had been slid along a gutter

(big gouge about 6mm deep).

Morton and May at Liverpool fixed it for $150; I couldn't tell where they'd actually done the work

from the outside (I made marks on the rim with a texta before I sent it to them). They have a good

rep from the research I did before sending my wheel to them (about 2 years ago now).

HTH,

Saliya

    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
    • You have a knack for photography my friend. It makes the 86 look like a complete bucket. The 34 went with you to Europe and back. It's special. (we all feel the same about our 'shitboxes' that every bystander seems to absolutely love)
    • It's been quite the ordeal but hey, at least you figured it out.
    • The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow
