buying used wheels is all about having cold hard cash on hand and being in the right place at the right time, which takes patience.

put an offer on the importmonster wheels, if they come back with a no, move on.

there's these... 19X10.5 +21 which would be sweet as

and these:

18x10 +12 Gram Lights 57F-PRO

no price on those, just bid as much as you can afford minus shipping costs.

Ah yeah, true that and the quiet ones would be the Oval shape mufflers yeah...

I keep remembering Juliette's exhaust on her R34 GTT and it's pretty much silent.

:P

I wouldn't go so far as to say silent, but very quiet inside the car and not too loud outside the car. At idle it'd almost be as quiet as stock behind the car. I removed the big resonator/second muffler in the middle of the exhaust due to issues with ground clearance and it made pretty much no difference.

It's a full 3" stainless steel Fujitsubo turbo-back, but unsure on which model.

I remember when I bought my first 3" cat back for the 33....Me, Justin and James fitted it up at James' work, started the car and were instantly devastated...it was so quiet lol

Sold it to GTRGeoff not long after and bought a new one, much louder...

Then went de-cat at the same time as the rebuild/turbo upgrade...Hadn't driven the car for a few months....I remember picking it up at RE, left RE later that night....had the windows down and the stereo off.....was deafening and sounded insane (combination of new turbo/de-cat/ and not having driven it for so long)

After a while you get used to it, obviously it's still as loud, but didn't seem that way to me.

^^ I too remember when I put my BLITZ cat back on for Auto Salon and fuck it was loud!

I think it's a 3" or 3.5" with a 4.5" outlet pipe.

Just on idle it droned the hell out of me.

:P

Yeah well I am still yet to put my Veilside cat back on and it's a 3" with a 3.5" out pipe and is stainless steel.

I want to keep it quiet as possible.

But want to save for a new radiator 1st and Brembo Calipers are on the 'to do' list + I got suspension and wheel fitting / guard rolling to do on the Rolla...

*sigh* one thing at a time...

:)

anyone had any experience with the import monster yahoo japan thing? where you can search through there site and buy etc?

sure have, ive bought a r34 front lip and then bought 3 brand new defi gauges in a bundle which including shipping was still cheaper than buying 3 anywhere in australia. and i was more than happy, it was a very easy process. :P

how much AUD would it cost to import those GT-Cs i wonder? possibly might bid through that import monster it finishs in 5 hours

wow just checked the japan section of the site and the calculator there is awesome :P just gotta put some money in first haha

    • Hi soviet_merlin, We appreciate your concern regarding this possibly being some sort of PR/Political hype, I assure you that is not the case, I wish we could claim something like that, but in this case, we merely reached out for comment on the basis of the outrage we too felt, as those heavily in the automotive industry. Ps. the original source in the social media post is CarExpert not CarExplore.    Best, CE.
    • Made a bit of a discovery, but while I was cruising, I randomly decided to test to see if it worked and it showed up on my IC7. The entire time I tested it before, I never thought to turn the ignition on. I only tested it with head lights turned on but with the ignition off. Huge oversight on my end. I’m a dummy. I know. 
    • G'day all, I have drilled and tapped the hole for the relocation of the timing belt tensioner. That was straight forward. I'm unsure if I need to also put another hole for the smaller stud that the spring behind the tensioner catches on (this is how it seems to work in its original spot). Or do you not use the spring behind it and just torque it down? Thanks in advance, I did a search but couldn't find anything related and it doesn't mention it in the rb30det sau guide.
    • Hi All,  just thought I would provide an update as I know smooth (Matt) was on this forum from 2003.    my brother Matthew passed away end of may 2024 at the age of 41 from liver failure. I am not sure how many of his original team krazy friends are still on here or active but thought it reasonable to let the forum know.    if you have any photos or pictures it would be great if you could share them.    it took me a while to work out he was active on here.    thanks so much
