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

    • Nah, yeah, nah. Speakers have a nominal impedance of 8 ohm that looks more like 6.4 ohm when measured. The receiver's amplifiers (all channels) are all rated to 6 ohm (I think, it's been a long time since I cared). The real problem is that many modern class D amps have aggressive protection circuitry that cuts off the fun if they think too much current is being drawn. And with my speakers having series crossovers, as opposed to more typical parallel crossovers, and big TL enclosures, they can certainly dip down to lower impedances at some frequencies and that easily triggers the protection. Pioneer receivers are somewhat famous for it, but even Denon, Onkyo, et al, all have many complaints against them across various models. It only does it when listening to music at high levels. You have to be putting your ears at risk to do it. But sometimes I want to do that. If I was serious about using it as a listening room I'd simply upgrade the amp for the front pair to a nice Rotel or something, and just use the receiver for signal handling and processing - although that would be a bit of a pain in the arse too. Have to switch on more shit, pre-amp volume vs main amp volume, etc etc.

    • I reckon you are 100% right on the money. The only reason I bought Red Sport instead of the base VR30 is that I am investigating racing it in Production Cars, and they require you to run a (mostly) standard car....therefore knowing exactly what was in the RS spec was important to me and I paid the extra. Other than that, for sure I would have pocketed the $10k and spent them on mods instead. Plus the non-RS models are more likely to have had a nicer life prior. Just a warning though, mods always cost twice as much as they look like they will on paper BTW you should also consider the 400R imports, they are about the same price as a local RS but 5+ years newer. Of course that comes with the usual warnings about finding parts, unhelpful nissan dealers and finding insurance
