My car is begging for some new wheels. Any ideas on what combination suits a smooth yellow 34? Pictures to support any theories will help alot.

The baby is stock and ready for a makeover, these rims in 19's is what i had in mind... then drop the body a bit.. ok a lot.

Not something from Tempe/Ozzy plz

A race look with the right offsets and staggered widths front and rear looks best on skylines.

Save the 20" cheap ass chromies for the crumbledoors and minitruck boys

Pretty much what I was going to say. :)

White rims go best with blue cars, but still look good on other colours. Also, white will give the illusion of the rims looking bigger/fatter (not necessarily 'phatter' though)

Black would look good aswell on yellow, but will do the inverse of whites and make the rims look smaller. Again it's just an illusion. But black looks really aggresive on yellow and would be my choice.

Whatever you do don't put silver or chrome on a yellow car. It just doesn't suit them at all, unless you have a black rim with a chrome lip and you might pull it off.

crazy thought but would you consider some black WALD rims with a yellow colour coded dish?

i think that's look really good and it's not done often on the R34

think of the WALD altezza

mmmm. Yellow on White.

Yellow on Black would work good aswell i think.

But stick with the normal chrome dish. Don't colour that in too.

p.s. btw dan, if you come back in this thread. your sig pic/whatever isn't coming up. i got a X. maybe just me. meh.

      AC Compressor

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Lots of this, and in older cars, AC is generally controlled by the AC knobs and programming, and the ECU reacts to the load. Modern cars, the ECU controls kicking the AC on/off at the AC systems request so it can be prepared for the engagement/disengagement.

      Sadly, it won't happen. The AC controls in our cars are essentially on-off. Whereas the AC in new stuff is more a case of variable displacement compressors giving infinitely variable output.

      AC Compressor

      By soviet_merlin · Posted

      I don't think anyone did. But it still made me consider. For me personally it wasn't clear whether the AC experience in my car was shit because it is an old system, or because it wasn't maintained. Looks like it may have just been the latter. I see some more modern setup being sold as an upgrade and I wonder whether it would make it drive like AC in a modern car. Where you don't really hear it or notice it. But maybe that's asking for too much as well.   Haha, stick it in a Nissan Cube and you end up with a driveable fridge I'm not doubting your experience. Just thought it was interesting to hear the AC technician's thoughts on it.

      AC Compressor

      Guess I should be hunting down one of these big ol ford units then for max flow ....  I've had fresh gas in mine and it was never as cold as it is now . The compressor could have been trash though, like I said I am one example with a bunch of unknowns.

      AC Compressor

      I don't know if anyone was seriously suggesting a retrofit of an Echo compressor in place of a more-or-less working original comp. You'd have to change the hoses at the bare minimum to do so, and that will definitely add significant cost. I had to get my hoses modded when I did the engine transplant and chose to use the Neo's AC over the even older R32 comp. That was startlingly more expensive than expected for what looks like a simple welding job, and a massive pain in the arse when it turned to have a pinhole leak in the weld too. The Frenchie's kit is for people who have next to nothing of the original system or have more than that but some of it is a bit shit and better off thrown away than salvaged. If you've got 90% of the system, you just patch it up. Mine is currently degassed because it apparently has a big leak somewhere. If I find it is the compressor, I will be looking to take my spare comp to a shop to assess and/or recondition, rather than contemplating a retrofit to anything off-brand.
