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!

    • 1. Factory knock sensors for now, honestly the RB26 OEM knock sensors seem ok as they're flat response instead of resonant type but they appear to be internally grounded to the block. If I do replace the sensor it would just be to get ones that are not internally grounded so a differential input can be used to reject common mode noise. Definitely plan on fixing this as a part of the tuning process. 2. Never deliberately induced knock, though I guess I could try that experiment if I really wanted to. 3. All of this is basically on a stock engine + ECU, only modification is HKS GTIII-SS turbos and a Nismo plenum. Currently I run it with the wastegate solenoid unplugged so it won't try to raise boost past wastegate pressure.
    • After being peer-pressured into paying $100 for the MW remakes, got BO6 on XBox Game Pass. I think that's worth it.
    • That's a given!  Bit hard to powdercoat it properly without removing them! 😁
    • No detail on compressor or turbine sizes, which doesn't help with housing size selection with that kit. However, from SR20DET mucking about and money torching perspective, a GTX2860R Gen 2 w/ 0.64 (46mm inducer) will do ~260kW on E85 about 1.5bar of boost. All in before 3000pm, which cause a gearbox to shatter. Now imagine the same turbo, on a modern motor with an extra 0.5L of displacement, and heaps of cam timing adjustability (not an on/off affair like the Nissan shit boxes). If this was my car (which I would never own or consider buying, ever!), I would go for a nice twin scroll setup, and a G30-660. Gates plumbed back, no silly shit. Lean on the cam timing, big displacement to create a flat-ish torque curve.
