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

    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
