Unlucky mate, I was planning to get a set of rims from Tempe but luckily my local guy is stocking them in a few weeks. I was glad because I'd save an hour trip but now I'm relieved that I didn't go there!

Anyhow heres a heads up, I saw a set of thos Velvets you're after going on NS.com so maybe these are cheaper for you.

I hope your tyre guy is getting his money back if he was the one who purchased the rims?

I personally would only get quality japanese or european rims. At least they will be strong and better built than most of the crap that is sold here at places like Bob Jane and Tempe, etc, etc.

yeah man

it was tyre factory tingalpa phone number is 3890 5222

yeah he did get his money back or is in the process of

most of the rims in australia are made in japan anyway, just the quality is crap, and good rims cost a bundle and im not takin my car on the track so no need for super light weights or mega wide anyway.

im still getting the anz wheels and they are cold pressed which make them strong and light. im going through jax at slack creek and gettin em for 1800 but with the sale of my standards at 450 i am gettin em for 1350 so thats pritty good

    • I'll snap up some photos when I'm back home, in the office today meeting my "in the office" quota. Have 2x Teams calls scheduled in, office culture they reckon.   I've never owned a proper off the shelf sub, I've always made or modified broken ones with Jaycar plate amps and/or car subwoofer drivers. The current (and broken) subwoofer has a proper home driver in it, Dayton driver, thos one https://www.daytonaudio.com/product/118/rss265hf-4-10-reference-hf-subwoofer-4-ohm FS of 25Hz, which is low but not low enough. Yeah, I think they were brought out to the market to compete with SVS. I would love a SVS PB-3000 but they're not cheap, especially after their price hike. From reviews online, it does look like the Tonewinner D6000 would destroy and with good amount of money saved too.
    • yeah, that happens too.  I'm really enjoying 4WDing at the moment, seen a few beautiful spots and want to go explore more of this enormous country.  The 370Z got a clutch LSD in it and a track day, great fun.  Getting the back end sorted out really rejuvenated my enthusiasm for driving it hard, the viscous one is poo especially in such a short and wide chassis.  The VLSD unpredictability was more benign in a long and skinny Skyline.
    • With my pre/power I use a remote trigger cable(3.5mm jack each end). I turn tv on, it turns both on via ARC. Or, just the pre with the remote or its streaming software, turns on both. Not that difficult at all. Obviously,  you would also want to actually update/upgrade over other factors in your life(bills, family, other hobbies, etc)
    • Yeah, nightfall was very "meh". And I'm crap at pvp, so feels like everyone has cheats(it's just my lack of skill). Final shape has been pretty good. New raid and dungeon are pretty good. If you want to give it a go, probably wait until it's on sale. But, as usual, most of it feels very familiar. 
    • This morning was Kingswood's Microscopic Wars. It is the album's 10 year anniversary this year and we went to see them play the whole album as a special show a couple of months back. Was pretty spectacular.
