Thanks for the info justin. Probably looking at about $5000 all up if your were to wrap them nicely. Would love to get them or Te37's but would rather spend that sort of money on performance. Its a pitty the wheels we have don't look better because their performance is great. What do you think of drift R? Can get them in 18x9 with 265/35 all up for $2600

Cheers Ben. Yup. TE37's are my 2nd choice. ROH? No way! Just not Japanese now is it? The ROH DRIFT-R is actually very similar, or is it exactly the same... except for the name and centre cap... as their Modena wheel? I think ROH are having all of us on.

I just got my set last month they are pure porn. I doubt you'd find a second hand pair as I had a good look although mine are 18x9.5Js and 18x8.5J's. I paid $1050 per rim. $4200 delivered via qantas air freigh as far as I could tell!!! (there were stickers on the box) How cheap is that, I worked out he must of made olny around $50 per! The TE37's are ok but they were similar price to the LM GT-4's.

So Adz.. how did you get your rims exactly? Through which people? Through what site?

Here's the 1st car I posted... the atest pic of it online. He has dumped his Nismo wheels for bigger wheels. I have seen them before, multispoke bronze.. volk I think? And he's added the list of stickers down the side like the Gran Turismo version.. also he's blackened out the rear 3/4 window.. nice touches!

Well I went through Evo-R in Clayton, Melbourne. I honestly thought they would be the most espensive of the lot but it turned out to be the cheapest. no one could bring them in coz of the duty and freight. They'd just be to expensive. I think the closest quote I got was $1495 per rim! These were the first set he'd brought in so I dunno about another saet on the same price. You could try though! As said before the nearest set is the Volk TE37's in bronze though they are a 6 spoke not a five and the spokes dont taper like the the LM's and they are a 6 spoke not a 5!

    • Back in January, I noticed my car felt noticeably weak. I had the injectors cleaned, which seemed to solve the problem -- until now. Recently, the car suddenly lost power again while driving. Suspecting the injectors, I brought it to the mechanic. He recommended replacing them entirely, saying the current ones were getting unreliable and fiddly to work with. I could not find a direct replacement for my current injectors. The closest match I found were 440cc injectors. This led me to look into the possibility of upgrading -- and of course, that would mean remapping the ECU. From my research I found: The OEM Part numbers are 16600-72L20 and 16600-72L21 Both the RB20DE and RB20DET use the same 270cc injectors. There are much better options out there over the old OEM injectors. Nistune could be a viable tuning option. While the RB20DE isn’t explicitly listed on their site, the ECU is essentially the same as the GTS-T version - just with a different map. The ECU code on mine is listed as supported. One concern is finding a tuner who works with Nistune. Aftermarket ECU like Haltech and Link, but this would be the most expensive choice (and possibly overkill for a mostly stock RB20DE) I admit that I am very new to the tuning scene and would appreciate any insight or recommendations regarding this.   These are some SAU links where I got some of my information from for reference: https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/380324-rb20de-injectors/ https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/477396-factory-270cc-injectors/  
    • The inspectors are not forensic by any means but if you forge your documents and/or badgings on vehicle parts and are found out, the consequences are just far bigger than if you just run illegal parts. And their job quite literally is to cross reference what parts you got installed and what your papers say you got. Something as silly as your suspension being 1mm too low will fail you. Nonetheless I asked if someone knew the damn pipe and I certainly did not ask for smartassery or underhanded comments, no idea why you need to be told this. Great way to waste both our time.
    • As useful as you explaining what forgery is... But then again, I wasn't aware your inspectors were also forensic experts and inspect nameplates on each component to confirm everything is original. They must inspect roughly 3 cars a year at that rate. You're right though, my comment doesn't help you in anyway, so I'll go talk to my wall now. Cheers. 
    • Say that to the guy that is going to fail your inspection or tow your car for illegal exhaust modifications. If you have anything else useful to say, please go tell your wall.
