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

    • 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
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
