Gotta love em...

which is to reduce the road toll and the incidence of road trauma.
On Tuesday the 20th of April 2010, Operation „Pipedown,‟ targeting excessively noisy motor vehicles
Excessive noise is a serious environmental problem impacting health and well-being. The effects of this excessive noise should not be trivialized.

lol. Yes, it should be.

In combination with a focus on excessively loud motor vehicles, the focus will also be towards safety related offences. Offences such as: Drink Driving, Roadworthy Offences, Fail to Wear Seat Belt, Fail to Give Signal, Use Hand Held Mobile Phone While Driving.

Secondary to the dangerous loud noise..

Are they going on your car or a gtr? Will require a fair bit of work to get on there.. You'll need stretched tyres etc.

Im not a big fan of those wheels, but they are pretty cool.

I want these when I return from my holiday

any other sites to look for rims beside import monster? i would yahoo japan it up.. but cant read that shit..

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Vo...tml&hl=volk spotted these as well hrmm O.o?

excluding tyres gogogo! or i duno how much should i be spending?

dunno i try to spend about 2.5k on rims max inc tyres... but 3k should get you some brand spanker XD9's 18x10 +18 from the getgo in any finish you want.

also 19" or 18"?

if you're serious, then tell me how much clearance inwards and outwards you get on your car sitting at the height you want with the suspension you have.

to do this, take your wheel off, get a straight piece of wood, drill two holes so that you can bolt it to two hub bolts, ziptie/stickytape a ruler to it perpendicular to the stick at roughly half the diameter of the wheel you wanna fit plus an inch to allow for tyres, then spin the wheel to see if the ruler hits anything. If the ruler doesn't hit anything, then measure the distance on the ruler. If it does hit something, then move the ruler and try again. This will give you the inner clearance from the hub (measurement a).

Then do the same, but keep the ruler at the highest point on the spin and take a measurement out to the fender. This is your outer clearance (measurement b).

Now:

a+b = your max rim width in mm

((a+b)/2) - b = offset in mm

This way you'll end up with the perfect offset or something close enough to what you need. All cars are different, as they'll run different suspensions at different heights.

    • They usually get made by hand as part of any such swap.
    • Was planning on getting an R35 MAF and the adapter, should this be okay? Also any idea where I could get my hands on an intake pipe?
    • I mean yes, if you're starting from scratch on an unknown engine yes you don't need to be doing all kinds of math in the background but if you're doing relatively minor changes like AFM + injectors + boost up with some aftermarket turbos it takes quite a bit of math if you want to do something like maintain OEM fuel + timing tables but compressed and then a bit more load scale up top. I think I've spent too much time working on big engineering nightmares though so I'm a big fan of trying to constrain the scope of whatever work I'm doing as much as possible and trying to get it right before moving on. For example, a local owner just did the usual E85 + single turbo conversion to his R32 GTR and nearly burned his car to the ground doing some spirited driving up the local mountains. Turbine is unshielded and too close to the hood insulation. It's tough to balance "just get the project done" and "seemingly small details can cause massive setbacks I'm not willing to deal with".
    • No idea about Neil's steering wheel, but I have the same behaviour in the Stagea. I doubt it has ever been messed with so might be normal. Indicating to turn right at a roundabout and correcting even a little bit to the left to go around will cancel the indicator. Never considered it an issue other than it being a bit odd.
    • Does anyone know if this is off centered? Looks like it, when I indicate to go right, but turn my steering wheel slightly left it cancels (was always like that even before I started messing around with it) was wondering if anyone else has the same issue?
