You don't HAVE to go with new Jap wheels that cost $5k. You can pick up a decent set of Jap designed wheels for ~$2k.

yeah probly around that, maybe 2.5k. And the 5k I said was talking about new jap rims, with tyres :mellow: But yeah, definately if you can afford them you want jap rims. Look great, light, strong, wide and deep offsets! ( I learnt all of this last week, hehe)

ive got 18 inch wedsports on mine 7.5inch wide. had to make 10mm spacers for the front tho to clear the brakes, dont rub on any guards or suspension. have it lowered with tein coilovers

Your 4 Door R32 looks really good in a dark colour! I dont like my silver colour much myself.... it looks good at night though! lol

How about these mags??

I think the Velvet looks good and the Renegade. The tycoon might look good....

Err no

They all are Made in China crap.

Go here:

and pick out a nice wheel

And where would i buy those mags in Perth? I only wanna spend around $2000 and I dont see how the rims i have put up could be bad?

If they don't sell them in Perth, get them shipped over.

Those wheels are bad because quality is bad, and they are way heavier than Jap wheels

Check the trader section of http://www.nissansilvia.com/forums for more wheels

    • Sorry no - The sandtrap adventure ended the day, happened at the end of the last session. At that time I wasn't hearing any weird noises nor were the brakes shuddering anymore. It was only when watching the videos that I remembered I had these sounds early on!
    • Did the noise appear after your sand trap adventure? Could be something got dislodged and is playing rub rub. Even a rock wedged somewhere.
    • Is there a shroud around the tailshaft spline into the back of the box? They can rub and make a horrible noise if they are not on straight/damaged. The heat might have caused it to grow too much in one direction and rub.
    • Strangely I noticed it either disappear later in the day, or not be present. I definitely noticed when I was crawling around that open wheel thingy entering the pits (that part was audible in car). Driving home and commuting around town for example, I didn't hear it. It's plausible that it was a brake disc or something still slightly in contact. The brakes absolutely felt BAD for the first couple of sessions, huge amounts of shudder and grinding as they got up to temp - And then I actually just forgot about it as the day went on/didn't notice it. The videos were from the morning when this was more present than the afternoon/drive home when it wasn't. I've asked around and got a variety of responses including handbrake shoe contacting hub, CV joints, CB tailshaft bearing as above, and clutch input bearing. I didn't test if it disappeared when clutch was in. I haven't noticed it in any of the other videos nor did I notice it when driving to that extent. More or less hoping the microphone at the rear license plate giving some kind of clue of 'something' but it looks like "spin stuff and see if you can notice it" is the way forward here. I could be smart and use the gopro mic and re-mount it to that location to see if the sound is still present at low speed actually. Sounds like a decent test whenver I have the CBF'ness to drive the car again. Given it's almost 40C for the day of the track day and the next 3 days after, the CBF is high. All I've done since getting home is unpack the car, remove the remnants of the lip and undertray and left it there. I was surprised how well the PMU Club Racers actually worked. The brake performance on the track was absolutely fantastic, best I've ever personally used, no fade whatsoever and the bitiness was almost too good, I was scrubbing more speed off than I needed to, but I also ended up infield when I started trying to scrape off ... less speed.... so...
    • Not really, no. Anything you would do is easily reversible.
