They finally have a wheel for release that will be allowed on the road, even though they only have one model of wheel at the moment. I was lucky enough to work at the engineering shop to machine up the inner and outer moulds for the wheel rim and machine up the little 7075 aluminium wheel nut inserts.

Hopefully they start making some that fit Skylines very soon.

wouldn't the cost outweigh any benefits?

These wheels have been many years in the making...

The first design was so so, a little boring BUT

They are just about to release there new design, I have seen there new design in the flesh and they are impressive.. much better styling

Mass production is not far away so keep checking for updates on there website.

The Carbon Revolution is coming.........

would be interesting to see how they handle. i think they would be different. i know it isn't really much of a comparison, but i've ridden on a few sets of full carbon bike rims and they are totally different to alloy rims. much stiffer/responsive

      It's the adhesive holding the ceramic wheel to the shaft the fails on 90% of them.

      Foreign debris, physical shock, boost leak, could be anything honestly. The danger in taking all the timing out of a tune/hitting the R&R corner is that even if the engine doesn't detonate your turbo is taking a lot of abuse from high EGT. Also, even if nothing goes wrong it is a journal bearing that is spinning at 100k RPM on boost. Eventually it goes through enough cold start/pressure cycles to wear it out.

      Possible option to replace central computer 370 V36

      By Vee37 路 Posted

      I kinda accidentally saw this, and was interested, but It actually seems to replaces the whole center computer, using the existing screen and buttons. AND it may only be for a G37 and not compatible with a Japanese 370. So its not for me, but someone else may be interested to look into it. Its about $680USD. If I am understanding it right, it basically replaces/installs and android pc that integrates with the existing screen. But I could be wrong. https://gromaudio.com/vline/ The video I first saw was the following, with very little and unclear details.     Even if your not interested in the system, the video on their site was pretty comforting in showing how simple the whole centre comes out

      I鈥檓 with Shannon鈥檚 for all 5 of our cars. Agreed values seem fair, premium price is okay. ($210 ish a month, all comprehensive).  Have claimed once with them for a not at fault claim with another car where my car had no damage. Was one call after the incident and an email after. Deemed not at fault so premium didn鈥檛 go up either.    I have called up and spoken with people who are not familiar with certain cars and didn鈥檛 agree with me on value or let their personal vehicle preferences effect the call. But called back later and got someone else who was more agreeable.
