no, official weights coming, will post when available. will be more i'm afraid.

i think the stock GTR wheels are 25.6 lbs F and 26.9 lbs R

a dedicated track set up is coming though so won't effect performance where it counts.

Looks great, Mark. Nice choice in wheels.

I think a little height adjustment will really set it off.

If only my driveway would let me! have to guide the thing in and out every day as is. only solution is to buy a new house and garage.

Just thought i'd post up here as well since its relevant,

for those looking for aftermarket wheels for their GTR. the Enkei GTC01 is now available special fitment made for the new GTR in 20".

more info and pictures in my other post in the trader section : http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/R3...-G-t280086.html

We also have the OEM Bridgestone in stock, and have the dunlop on order for unbeatable prices as other GTR owners have found out when shopping around(and cheaper than importing from tirerack etc...)

PM for more info or details.

Can you PM me with the details on price of the Bridgestones and the Dunlops as we are about to put an order together. I can't PM you as I don't have enough posts yet being green to all this forum stuff

Thanks

Sounds great, any indication on the Dunlop prices? and out of interest has anyone tried the dunlops at the track, relative to the bridgestones? really would like some hard data on how much quicker they are from those who have tried them

I have the Dunlops on order with Taleb Tyres, they are going on in the next couple of weeks, a track day booked for late August, so I will let you know.

I will back up their pricing, I shopped everywhere and these guys did the best price for me....I would 100% recommend them.

Cheers,

Gibbo.

Seen a few after market rims for R35, some nice, some not so nice, all I will say on the topic is that the Original factory rims look best and IMO are the best looking stock std factory rim on ANY production car at the moment. I can understand people want something different, but gee I reckon Nissan REALLY nailed the formula with the look of standard alloy.

We run the Dunlops, they are quicker everywhere ;)

yeah, going with the stock wheels and the dunlops for track use for now. Especially since people are starting to provide reasonable pricing for them.

BTW Martin, the Midpipe arrived today, its in the boot for now...

yep, I have tried both the dunlops and the bridgestones. not sure how "hard" my data is, but the dunlops are definitely better on track. :P better than some semi's i tried too on 19s.

I reckon getting a set of dunlops on your stock rims for track and keeping your HREs with the bridgestones for street is a good idea handbrake. :D

      Fixing exhaust position?

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I'd want an even MORE side on view. More or less you want to make sure the outlet is actually square with the outermost part of the bumper. Or you end up getting soot all over your bumper from your hektik exhaust. In any case, it looks pretty close. I think the way to fix this is probably more of an overhaul at an exhaust specialty shop if you want tips that are rounded off or sit nicely with the bumper but have proper clearance and don't move - Probably more of a redesign than a quick fix. I've pencilled in my own exhaust with its own various problems, pinholes, PITA fitment, and other issues and can see myself going to a shop and saying "JUST DO THIS BUT BETTER?"  Which is gonna work better than any more small fixes. I'm gonna chime in here officially with "from an outsider perspective this exhaust looks fine so this is self OCD probably" (which I also suffer from)

      It be 40°C outside lately. 10W60 is a good idea here. Well, certainly 10W50.

      RB25DET Engine Oil Dipstick Length

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      I just did an oil change on my daily which used oil that is probably 2-3 years old. Normally I try to follow exact viscosities, but my LS400 is fairly tolerant. Dumped something like half a quart of 0W30 Mobil1 ESP X2 in there, followed by 2 quarts Pennzoil 5W30, followed by ~1.2 quarts of liquimoly 5W30 LL04 spec oil. Then the rest was QS euro 5W40 which is actually so thin it's basically a 30 weight oil. All this is to say it doesn't matter that much. We aren't talking about brake fluid. For an RB I would recommend a high ZDDP oil because it doesn't use rollers in the interface between the cam and valve, but a 5W30 or 5W40 is fine to use for street use. The 10W60 guidance really only applies if you're getting it hot and pushing the engine hard.
