^^^ You deserve to be banned by associating Starcorp Impuls with that blue R34. Starcrop Impuls are cheap Tempe tyres shit, which are copied from Work Equips, which is what the blue R34 has. The Starcorp wheels are heavy as f**k, poor quality and come in shit house offsets (+38).

If you want good rims say no to Tempe Tyres and get some good Jap rims. Get some Work Equips if you must have this design

I had them in 18's on my Series 2 R33. They are very cheap, they are very heavy but otherwise they did the job well enough and looked a treat. I had them in Shadow Chrome. The offsets are shithouse and we had some issues clearing the guards in the rear with 265 rubber on the back (without wanting to roll the guards) but managed it in the end. I got mine for $1250 second hand from the Silvia Forums in excellent condition with new, but cheap shit Nankang, tyres.

Good for cheapies but I wouldn't be tracking/drifting them.

If you're more about the show they will be fine, if you care about go as well then you're losing a huge oppurtunity to dump some unsprung mass if you choose heavy rims.

Here's some pics of them on my car

WTF are you retards on about? Starcorp Impuls were designed for skylines.. Shit offsets my ass they sit right on the guards. Originally designed for R33's if you have something older then obviously it wont fit.

Yes jap rims are lighter.. They are the same strength it just takes more metal in the Starcorps to achive this.

Downside they are one peice so harder to fix. Drifting would be fine with Impuls however I wouldnt use some of the other thinner wheels.

Anyway like I said I have white ones..

post-a189620-2886721599-8410195bec.jpg FYI! On black.. BTW the white R34 looks HOT!

I Must add.. If you are worried about rim weight offset it with more power .. Then if you buy Jap rims you will have crazy acceleratioN!

Relax yourself you idiot, read the post before jumping to conclusions.. your arrogance should get your A$$ banned .. stupid ..

And skylinekid, im sorry for posting a pic of a R34, im sorry if i offended you.. sheesh.. relax.

Anyways, other than flaming -.- ..

Starcorps are pretty nice rims, only reason i picked them up was coz they were a pressie so i decided to whack them on, and have been with them since. Once i do the Turbo Conversion im looking into getting SSR's or Work's or even GTC's *drools*

theyre on every second skyline. it's almost as if they were a nissan factory option :bunny:

if anyone knows anything about wheels. when they see these, they know theyre cheap and nasty, and it degrades your car a bit.

most school girls however, will like them :bunny:

not to say no one should ever use them, especially if they were on your car, given to you, or you got them for amazingly cheap. but if you're about to pay for new wheels, add a bit extra $$ and buy some better ones. second hand, quality wheels are the way to go.

I'm not a fan of starcorp rims.

One guy I worked with had a set of his VY S pack Ute. After 3 weeks One split in half while he was doing 110kmph. The company he bought them from made him buy a whole new set cause they wouldn't refund his money or give him a replacement wheel.

Also, my boss asked me to put a set on his sons Hilux, as I was putting the last one on I accidentally tapped the wheel with the wheel brace. On a normal rims it wouldn't have done anything, but on these a big chuck (the size of a 20cent piece) of paint come off, about 4 layers deep :S

From then on they make my spew in my mouth a little when I see them. lol,

      Yep, that was one of the things we learned fast in the past with our MX5. When you drive with the top down, you are effectively standing out in the sun, 100% of the time, and not getting in any shade (because roads aren't shaded generally!). Just like standing out in the middle of a field on a sunny 27C day is a bit of a bad plan, so is sitting in a MX5 without sun protection.

      I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it

      If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣

      I would agree, unless you need something specific to the HV motor/battery side repaired or investigated, any mechanic will be able to perform normal services, but if you prefer, maybe look for a mechanic who regularly services/repairs Nissans, the VQ engines are pretty common in the Nissan lineup.  Sorry, I can't make any suggestions, I don't live in Vic.

      Some of them keep working fine. 9 out of 10 of them end up causing an absolute misery bleeding the system and get thrown on the workshop floor in a tantrum and never thought about again because they were never really needed and just added crap to the car that we could have done without. Same-same with HICAS, A-LSD, and various other stupidities that over eager 10x engineers thought we had to have.
