Import Monster FTW!

Helps you can go down there in person and see the wheels next to/on the car, or at least get a good idea of what a similar wheel will look like, offsets etc.

Added bonus of having a well priced place in Vic/Aus as opposed to guessing something over the net/yahoo and not being happy.

I'm down there a fair bit, as are other SAU-Vic members I see when I go for my little visits :D

lol saw ya last time i was there (dude witht he chaser) yeap Aaron is your man if your in the market for wheels. loks after his customers. in the past 4 months iv bought 3 sets of wheels from him with the most recent being for my chaser. his prices and service is just that good. and he will help you out in giving you info on the best fittment for your ride.

also streeter is another option if you know what you want and have all the specs. you will just have to wait for the wheels.

+11ty Tyre Power in Hawthorn if you want NEW jap wheels, lots of quality stuff in the showroom instead of having to pick them out of a catalog. Great people to deal with, heaps of KU36's & Nitto semi's in stock.

OTR in clayton have a cool little setup with other jap parts, lots of stuff for evo's & are pretty good on prices, a few nice rims on display, can't go wrong with either of those two.

Import monster would have to be the best if you want secondhand jap wheels and want to save some coin. Would be surprised if you couldn't find anything you like there.

streeter is good and cheaper then local importers..

+1. Bought my TE37's from him, and they were by far the cheapest by at least $150 from anyone else.

also streeter is another option if you know what you want and have all the specs. you will just have to wait for the wheels.

My wheels arrived in around 5 days from being sent, so it was hardly much of a wait. Plus Jesse also helped me immensely (probably around 30 emails), in what offset/size/width would perfectly suit my application, and needless to say, he got it spot on.

www.jessestreeter.com Just send him an email regarding what you are after, and take it from there. dezz is another SAU member that has bought stuff through him.

Import Monster & Aaron will go to the ends of the earth to find you any rim you want. Their service and price is second to none. I have used them many times and will be using them in the next few days :P

+1

I believe that he even has a set of BBS LM's there now for the taking :D

I'd love some new jap wheels but the cashola situation isn't great at the moment. Plus I do a lot of K's, and drive on some more rural type roads out here so i'm looking for something a little more daily spec. Maybe some 350z wheels or similar.

      Rb26/30 build

      By Butters · Posted

      Both heads will be equally reliable or unreliable depending on what you do to them.  Stock the RB26 head will flow more. You have access to the stock intake ITB manifold on the RB26 cheaply which flows really well(1000hp+).   Arguably more aftermarket support for RB26, though in Aus we love our RB30 SOHC heads too.    The only downsides to the RB26 head is if you have a VL commodore and want to keep the SOHC look.  Where you may have an issue is drilling out the rb30 block for the bigger head studs but if you are building a big power motor you'd probably put bigger studs on the SOHC head too.  This is just about finding a good machine shop, sometimes easier said than done.  RB30 head worked can make big power just like a Rb26 head, so really it actually more comes down to what your preference is for your car.  People now even making billet versions of both.

      Rb26/30 build

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      2630s work perfectly well. There is something to be said for just using the 30 head, as it saves all the pain of the conversion, still makes tons of power, still sounds cool, etc etc. 2630 will obviously make more power again, but the differences are not stupidly big. It really depends on whether you're racing for sheep stations or not. If it's dead serious, then it's a 26 head. If it's just for fun, it could go either way. But the 26 head and the effort to get it set up, etc etc, is part of the fun.

      I've been building a 26/30 for a few years now. I've had the head built with all the good stuff. I had a 32 gtr but blew it up and yes its all going into a vl but im looking for some advice from some RB nuts on pros and cons on putting a 26 head on a 30 bottom end is it worth it Works are as follows Head -Extensive porting 1mm oversized supertech valves Supertech double springs Supertech valve guides Supertech titanium retainers Tomei solid lifters Tomei 270 x 10.25 cams Head drain Bottom end series 2 rb30 block Cp ceramic coated pistons Eagle rods Romac balancer Oil restrictions  O ringed blah blah spent a fortune And will get a girdle because the 30s arent used to handling that much rpm Nitto billet oil pump Hypertune plenum 6boost mani Refurbed astra pump thats the cover for it in the boot I did have a precision 6262 but sold it because drag car life. Currently building the ass end full 4 link floater rear end with a 2 speed  But the dilemma i have is my mate rekens I should just stick with the 30 head for reliability. Has any one had any issues with mounting the 26 head ie compression blowing gaskets etc. Just looking for some advice from people who have gone down this route. Here's some photos. Blew the oil pump in the gtr and decided to rip the motor out at the time and do a full build only to find it had been a repairable write off so went down this path.

      lol no cats running str pipes … might put the high flow back on but I suspect it might effect my ignition timing a bit.
