with 19 you dont have to roll the guard unless you have super massive low lol

i have lowered mine and 20 went in but need to roll the guard for safer and durable for tyres

so went down to 19 and it fits perfect. i have 19 start corp black rims with chrome surround. dont have idea about the name but.. and i have R34gtt

but imo after experince some low profile tyres on big rim and lowered vehicle... they looks sexy but everytime driving... it hearts your feeling when you hitting big hump or road hazard that hard to see or couldnt see while you changing lane.. i always try to dodge them but... cant dodgy every single road hazard..

18with very big massive dishes will do~ 19 is bit.. hard to maintain..

i think you have the starcorp kaotik's..

im after some new wheels soon too. looking at some 57f pro's.. loooove them! r34 gtr rims are a cheap alternative also. can be had for around 2k + depending on condition and tyres. wrxhoon has some awesome ones with toyo tyres for just under 3k i think. but they are immaculate! good luck with your choice mate.

Are 2nd hand jap import wheels an option to you? a set of rims, and tyres of your choice can become a cheap package, you may even need to spend a lil time on them polishing and painting, but this also gives you the oppotunity to own something no one else has and then customise colour to suit you....just a thought. I am looking around at Jap wreckers atm looking for the same thing.

P.S: if anyone knows of a good jap import wrecker/importer selling 2nd hand rims in SA or VIC please post up! Cheers!

    • Did you get any down time over Christmas, or have you had any since to play with this? Or have you given up and are trying to get yourself a second hand V8SC instead?
    • A random thought I had just before I hit "Submit on this post". If brake fluid, in a container in my garage that has never been opened goes bad after 18 months, why can I leave it in my car for 24 months in an "unsealed container"... Secondly, some other digging, and brake fluid manufacturers seem to be saying 5 year shelf life... Me thinks there line on 18 months for an unsealed bottle is pretty much horse shit marketing spin. Kind of like how if you drive a car and don't run a turbo timer your turbo and motor will die horribly...   Where I started on this though... Someone (me) started down a bit of a rabbit hole, I don't quite have the proper equipment to do Equilibrium Reflux boiling per the proper test standards. I did a little digging on YouTube, and this was the first video I found on someone attempting to "just boil it". This video isn't overly scientific, as we don't have a known reference for his test either. Inaccuracy in his equipment could have him reaching the 460 to 470f boiling point range in reality. In the video, using a laser temp gun, he claims his Dot3 that's been open in his florida garage for over a year gets to about 420 to 430 fahrenheit (215 to 221c) Doing some googling, I located an MSDS for that specific oil, and from new, it claims a dry boiling point of 460 to 470f. Unfortunately they don't list a wet boiling point for us to see how far it degraded toward its "wet" point. While watching it I was thinking "I wonder what the flash point is..." turns out its only 480f for that specific brake fluid....   As for testing the oil's resistance, I might not be able to accurately do that unfortunately. Resistance level will be quite a LOT higher than my system can read I suspect based on some research. However, I might be able to do it by measuring the current when I apply a specific voltage. I won't have an actual water % value, but I'll have some values I can compare between the multitude of fluids. I'll run some vague calculations later and see if I should be able to read any reliable amount of current. These calcs will be based on some values I've found for other oils, and see how close I'll need my terminals together. From memory I can get down to 1pA accuracy on the DMM. I don't think my IOT Power Tester has any better resolution.    
    • No, with a twin plate clutch flywheels and clutch pressure plate/friction disks go together. Only clutch where that isn't the case is the Uniclutch but they currently don't make a pull version for the Getrag R34, just some other cars. Personally the flywheel is as light as I'd want it to be. It already drops revs faster than I want to shift normally and I blip the throttle again to rev match on upshifts.
    • Are there any other lighter flywheels that can be used with nismo coppermix twinplate system? Id like to gave the revs pick up faster than oem
    • RB20/25 covers don’t have threaded fasteners stock like RB26 covers. They are blind rivets so I will need to drill out and tap threads. I bought some M4x6mm button heads and will report back once done if I chose correctly length wise.    have also got some loctite
