  1. Think you'll find it's just there's more people able to search for them now (not just USA), much easier to search yahoo, various ebay's & foreign car forums than ever before. Just means you need to be on your game & search very often if your hunting hard to find items. Also helps to tell friends what your after, makes life a lot easier.
  2. couple pairs of 9.5" +12 in black on yahoo at the moment if you get desperate
  3. You missed my point, there is no 2" rule in vic (does it even exist anywhere?). Just trying to clarify its a make believe rule so people don't get caught out by it. But yes as you said you can go up as many inches as you like in wheel size as long as you reduce sidewall height to keep rolling diameter in check.
  4. not true in Vic, max overall rolling diameter change of +15mm from largest stock option for that model.
  5. If only using it for track work then race import it, need a cams license though. Could possibly bring it in via personal import also though would need rwc this way. Talk to any of the brokers on here, they'll sort you out. Iron Chef, J-spec, etc
  6. Not just new cars, also changing the pre '88 rule to a 25 year rule. Not sure when that comes into affect though.
  7. In the normal for sale ads you must list a price but trader section this seems to not apply, any particular reason for this? Some traders have no problem listing prices but others never seem to list any. Just end up up with a thread full of people requesting a price & constant "pm sent"replies.
  8. Was found that a refitted battery wasn't secure & a loose cable shorted on something, hence single incident & no recall.
  9. this is a duplicate thread mate, look up, plenty of photos & details...
  10. What about the alcon kits a load of guys were getting from jdl in the UK a while back, was a decent thread on them here. Sounded like a good option so might be worth a search.
  11. Yes motor appears different, missing S1 valley cover & plaque on front of motor. Has gained a nismo oil cap. Also missing R tune air intake & carbon radiator cooling panel. Coilovers have also been changed. Very shifty...
  12. nah unfortunately not, too much going on with 18 mth old & moving in / reno-ing a new place. Plus other than right now work tends to be pretty flat out consistently.
  13. keep your eye on on the US forums, there's 3 or 4 builds currently getting them installed so hopefully have some results soon. Regardless hope your back up & running soon mate
  14. dang, good old chinese casting. Not worth a change while everything's out? Maybe those new Ash manifolds? Not purchased direct obviously but a couple of the traders seem to be getting stock now. Dane (Houston) has advertised a couple sets not too long ago. http://www.twinturbo.net/net/viewmsg.aspx?forum=classified&msg_id=177015&forum=classified&dtSearch=22
  15. AMS manifolds yeah?
  16. ^ same deal in Vic
  17. bronze lmgt4 are also anodised not painted, if your going to run flat caps with them might be worth painting some at the same time otherwise very hard to match
  18. re: weights, this attachment is the nismo info pdf of lmgt4 sizes/costs & includes the weights. Not all sizes that were available are listed but most are. Can also be found at the below location: http://www.nismo.co.jp/en/products/competition/wheel/pdf/aluminum01.pdf aluminum01.pdf
  19. yes originals should have the embossed "made in japan" & "forged monoblock" (bronze ones above are geniune), yours do look like rotas
  20. No mate, your meant to run same width/offset front & rear. Plus these are narrower than your stock wheels.
  21. RACV do a "Veteran, vintage & classic" cover too in Vic, I've got it for my 300. Around a third of the premium I was paying with Shannons with lower excess & higher agreed value. Worth a call
  22. Like op said, LM-GTMAG was only ever sold in 18x10+20, if your seeing different sizes they're LM-GT4. Has been a few sets go through recently though. Very nice wheels op, glws
  23. Chuck them on ebay, most here can't use them just like you
  24. Centre lock & well used! (still want one though)
