Hey bro,

I've been after these rims for a while for my gtr, but i can't find anyone that sells them. Otomoto Australia used to distribute them (i spoke to them today actually) and apparently they had a dispute with them about something and no longer import any of their products. He said "if we can't get them, no one can." I don't know how true this is, but i'm going to find myself an importer/agent and get them that way. i'm looking now so if i find someone i will let you know.. I think they will be about $500 a piece landed (if you want second hand = good luck).

Cheers,

oh thats just not cool.

I think URAS have some sort of copy one. called URAS 'NS-01' . they come in chrome silver, silver and glossy black.

But i don't like the glossy black. They're $280 a piece.. dam cheap.

thanks dude. will keep searching.. lol

cheers.

are these the ones that look like driftteks?? well, I'm guessing driftteks are copies of these...?!?!

heres a pic I found from the Bee*R site, is this the one you're looking for?

it says they are about $320 a wheel for white silver and bronze, or about $420 a wheel for the chrome ones. thats in either 17 or 18 inch.

I'd say that is before their 5% gst though, and obviously without shipping.

heres the link to their site (its in Japanese)

      Ticking Sound On Idle - Rb25

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Well, hydraulic lifters will get noisy if they are dirty/fouled in some way, and exactly how that manifests will depend on exactly what schmutz is where. There is a procedure on here somewhere for dismantling and soaking/cleaning them. Replacing them with new is about 50% of the work and about 5% of the money!

      Ticking Sound On Idle - Rb25

      By myrbgivesmeheadaches · Posted

      Thanks for the reply @GTSBoy this is is a hydraulic lifter engine. Yea right i did not realise the lifters were supposed to be compressible while installed. I could push them down but i had to lean almost my while body weight on them.  I have never heard of a lifter/ lifters ticking only at hot idle and getting worse the hotter it gets. I have owned a few jdm cars with noisy lifters. This noise is slightly more subtle, it is more of a sharp gentle metalic tic than the solid and more loud tapping I've heard on lifters. I have used a metal rod, alloy tube, hose and stethoscope and could not find the source of the tick. But it appears to be loudest on the actual engine block behind the exhaust cam gear and next to the oil filter. I had mate (40 year old mechanic) go over it with me and he couldn't find it either..  Could it be a cam seal issue of some sort?  Cheers

      Ticking Sound On Idle - Rb25

      This seems problematic and unlikely at the same time. Vanilla RB2Xs have hydraulic lifters. They do have "zero" clearance, but only when running with oil pressure inside them. When not running, you should be able to compress them and obtain heaps of clearance. RB26s and Neos have solid lifters. They should have ~0.3mm and ~0.5mm on the inlet and exhaust respectively. If they have zero clearance then bad things are happening. With nothing else being wrong, it would mean that the valves would be held slightly (ever so slightly) open when they are supposed to be closed and it should have all sorts of problems when running, caused by leakage in/out through the valves. Or, zero clearance can indicate severe valve seat recession. None of it is good. Have you used a piece of hose as a stethoscope to try to localise the noise?

      Sorry for reviving an old post, but I'm having the same hot idle tick issue. Did anyone ever find out what it was?  I have checked/ replaced Injectors Coils checked Lifter clerance (is at zero) Checked Cam lobes Replaced exhaust gasket and studs Would appreciate any advice this is driving me nuts

      There's a huge reason manufacturers are tuning in dead flat torque curves... Make them reliable (and more drive able)
