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.

    • You have the option to do this. Nobody but me ever did this (go slower, I mean) Everyone seems to fall victim to "This would be a great setup for you, but for me, I need a little more power..."
    • Save yourself the headache of an alarm. Immobilizer on the signal side of the main EFI relays so it won't start is good enough. DIY killswitch is the same thing except instead of a nice passive system you need to remember to switch it on and off.
    • Yeah, the advent of canbus was supposed to cut down on wiring weight, then some bright marketing wonk says "oh, look at all these wonderful tech gadgets we can cram in here now that we have this wonderous technology" and some arsehole safety legislator says "oh, look at all the wonderful surveillance and tracking gadgets we can cram in here now that we have this wonderous technology" and some dipshit young engineer who has grown up thinking that an extra 500000 lines of code is not a problem because storage is cheap these days says "oh look at all this wonderful shit I can do to one up those dipshit arsholes over at VW" and the Karens of the world all go "oh look at all these fancy things I can do on my screen (so long as I am not driving on a bumpy road wherein touch screens immediately become the single most stupid shit idea ever shoveled into a car) and my 19 zone airconditioning keeps my sweaty fat folds a bit less damp and the windows close themselves because I'm too fat and lazy to wind them up for myself and these reversing sensors would have been great if I'd paid attention to them instead of smashing them on the bollard while I was reversing and staring fixedly forward that day I went to pick up little Charlize from ballet" and the sweaty mongoloids who say "oh this wonderful collision avoidance technology with these 45 excellent radar antennae scattered across the front of my car mean I can tailgate like a methed up tradie at full speed with no fear because the car and the 35 airbags will protect me if it all goes wrong" ...... </shallistopranting?>
    • There's a post from a member (can't recall who), went down the path of a twin scroll G30-660 and it's doing over 300kW+ AND comes on about the same as a high flow RB25DET turbo. Have your cake and eat it too in this case. TBH, if I had a 2nd chance of building my car again (i.e. someone gave me what I wanted for my shit box, but the deal was I had to re-build another R33 and keep the change) I would just pop in a stock NEO motor (with new seals, rod bearings, ARP studs, head gasket, sump, Nitto pump), get a smaller twin scroll turbo, modify the stock low mount (keep the divider in place), and make a solid 300kW on 98RON and call it a day. 
    • It's all the sound deadening, and extra shit piled into them, plus all the extra (even though it's thinner) material for crumple zones. I can't fathom in modern cars why they need canbus to the headlights, and why the headlights must be vin coded on some cars to the ECU, BCM, and security module! Especially when they claim it's for security, yet, the canbus at the headlights let's thieves steal the car in minutes, so even more cars are being stolen! The Mercedes Sprinter 907 vans. They're a huge van, but a "basic" van. Yet they have that many canbus networks, plus two Lin networks, AND an Ethernet network. Logging a single network alone of 8 byte data frames, and they will generate a 20mb log file in 5 minutes. That's one network, and I can't remember the exact amount, but there's over 10 full CAN2.0B networks in them. I'm not a fan of modern cars, oddly, more and more I hate DBW, and all the bullshittery the cars try and interfere with. But all that bullshittery adds weight, plus crazy regulations on crumple zones, plus, ever picked a modern seat up, half of them have like 4 electric motors in them and will weigh 30+kg each. Then all the motors for things like adjustable steering columns blah blah blah. And did I mention the sound deadening so you can even hear an ambulance right behind you even if you 7.2surround sound is off?
