Read up on it when I bought rays lightweight wheel nuts.. Apparently a saving of a few grams is multiplied a fair bit when it's unsprung..

My 18" TE's with 265's were still light as fuark

Gotta do what you can when you're a monster like yourself ey Dezz? Lol

You laugh now, but when I'm at a formal occasion with a shitty DJ and they need someone to drop Dre beats...I have something up my sleeve.

Fake wheels suck.

Each to their own. I wasn't going to put real Watanabes on a Cube. My Rota copies also weigh only 1Kg more than the genuine article and less than the stock steelies anyway.

People can roll on what ever (Genuine / Fake) just don't boast about it if they are fake.

Can I brag about my $1200 D1Rs lol? They are real!

Real/expensive lightweight wheels are what you put on a track car when you're trying to save every gram of weight from it because you've already done all you legally can to get power out of your engine. And 16kg is a LOT of weight to save on a track car, so then it's worth the $4k. I know people who remove useful bolts from their cars in an effort to save weight lol.

You also use real on the track because a lot of fakes or cheap wheels have balance issues at speed. Some, like my Lensos will shake/vibrate the wheel at 100km/h and there's nothing you can do to balance it...it's annoying but manageable on the street, so I'd go fakes every time, but that's me. Others will pay for a guarantee against these issues and it's not like they lose a huge deal of money on sought after pricey wheels.

I'm saying they suck because ones getting repaired because of a pissy little pot hole.

Shoulda paid a little more and got some quality rims.

My very real and rather expensive Advans got lunched by a pothole too...got nothing to do with cheap rims.

nah ash is selling TE's im pretty sure.

yeh because you bought ROTA pieces of shit

Rota/ varrstoens, same shit.

I'm not pissed cause they only cost me a grand but you wouldn't expect them to crack over such a mild pot hole.

Oh well. LMGT1s for the 32

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Interesting that it has 2 to the USB stick. Are the ones to the USB stick different? Or labelled anything at all? Telstra 4G is Band 28 is the long range one you want, it's 700mHz. I'm trying to do some reading on the Cel-Fi stuff, but I can't find any decent info online that makes me feel comfortable being able to work out the sort of antennas we could get away to swapping it over to. The antennas I'm starting to do some stuff with at work, are a transparent antenna. They're designed to stick onto the window. Which means you wouldn't even have the antenna outside the car. Volkswagen have just started using the exact same types of antennas on some of their new cars (And from the same antenna manufacturer). But, RF stuff is a bit of a dark art some days, and getting it wrong in your car could make for a terrible waste of money trying to swap antennas :S

      What do you do with all the spares?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I'm not going to lie Duncan, Saturday and Sunday were pretty rough days. The sort of work I was doing would previously have ended up with me spending about an hour and a half chatting with Neil. Firstly about something I had a question about, and then both of us rambling off on tangents.  I think how Neil did things, and his attitude to getting it done is helping me in part to get this stuff done. Then I can actually do the things I enjoy more easily

      ER, HR bonnet question

      By RBjay34 · Posted

      Talked to another R34 GT-T owner, he said bonnet of his car once fell and slammed from full height because of strong wind at a car show and nothing was damaged or broken, so I guess I'm just overthinking some things but yeah, just making sure I'm not damaging the car anyhow cause wanna keep it for a long time.
