From someone with black wheels, they're awesome............never have to clean them! :D
From someone with white pain in the ass to clean Sparcos (that do look fabulous when clean) I'm quite jealous of these dark coloured wheels!!!

Brake Dust = Track day warrior street cred though lol

How about this. I get a quote to have mine resprayed/touched up. We'll pretend it's gonna be $500. Then I see how much I could see mine for. We'll pretend this is $1100. I don't want to be out of pocket more than $1000 lol, so we'll say my offer for your wheels would be $2100.

I'm breaking your balls here :D

Where are they? Sending wheels somewhere is a bit...yeah...given it's my daily driver so not only would I be without them for a while, but I can't even take them somewhere once I don't have a car to drive lol

Brake dust on my wheels makes them look like they are supposed to be shadow chrome.. and when you clean them its like woah that is what chrome is supposed to look like.. Ajax window clearner is the best chrome cleaner ;) I'm thinking of getting the chrome taken off mine and powdercoating them gunmetal gray.. I think it would look awesome!! Is there a place in Canberra that can do that sort of thing?

Spotted a silver R34 GTT with a carbon/fibre glass bonnet and silver wheels in belconnen yesterday arvo around 6 at the lights on Southern Cross Drive and Coulter Drive. He was turning North down Coulter Drive. I see it a fair bit in the Belconnen area, it looks tough!!

That happens to me alot shell.. i see a skyline and go "that looks like so and so of SAU" then do a massive wave.. usually the only thing i get in return is a blank look as the driver tries to work out why someone in a 'hotted up' avalon is waving at them.

    • Hey everyone,   I’m looking for some advice on replacing the timing belt on my RB25DET Neo-powered 1998 Skyline. The engine was fully built about five years ago, including a fresh timing belt, water pump, and other essentials. However, since then, the car has only covered around 2,000–3,000 miles. It’s currently making around 650hp.   Even though the mileage is low, I know timing belts have a time-based lifespan too, and most recommendations suggest changing them every five to six years or 50,000 miles. Since I’m at that time mark, I’d rather not take any risks and plan to swap it out soon.   A few things I’d like to hear opinions on: 1. What’s the best belt for this setup? Should I go with an OEM Nissan belt, or is the HKS fine-tune a better choice given the power level? 2. Would you bother replacing the idler pulley and tensioner at the same time, or only if they show wear? 3. When swapping the belt, is it necessary to lock the cam and crank gears in place, or is lining up the timing marks enough? I’ve seen different approaches, and I want to make sure I do it right.   The water pump was changed with the rebuild and isn’t run off the timing belt, so I don’t see a need to replace it again. I just want to make sure I approach this the right way.   Any insight would be much appreciated. Thanks!
    • How does this compare to the internally gated g25-550 in terms of power production at same psi and spool
    • Did you find that your voltage of the battery wasn't where it's normally supposed to be? for example on my r34, it's at 14.5v when running after a few seconds, but I noticed when I had a rough start and it initially wasn't idling correctly, the voltage on my triple gauge cluster was showing lower than usual. Seems like the alternator is starting to crap itself
    • And, given that you're in NC, go buy an LS7 or something equally sweet and piss that crappy old RB off. Or call up Wesley Kagan and get his help putting a Merc V12 into it.
    • Do a compression test, and a bore scope on the cylinder that lost parts of the plug. Chances are, that cylinder isn't so happy anymore...
