We just had Braid make us some new wheels for the GIO and Winfield Car.....they where about $600 a rim delivered. Pretty sure if you have the design they will remake em in stud or centrelock.

Surely a multi-piece rim is going to have a LOT more engineering and design considerations than a s1-piece, and thus cost a lot more. Pretty cool that they can do that though.

  • 2 weeks later...

Just a quick update, the car has been at the tuners where the final mechanical touches have been done, including tomei cam gears, power steering cooler, id2000 injector plus fuel rail install, hooked up fuel surge tank plus twin 044s, installed haltech duel wideband.

All was looking good and we looked set to go testing this Sunday at Wakefield until the vipec decided to pack it in :(

It was doing all sorts of weird codes and asking to set parameters for things that don't exist on the car ie, set parameters for electronic throttle ??? You have no option but to set something, so after trying for two days to get thru to the vipec dealers ( they did not respond once) we decided to ditch the vipec and purchased a haltech platinum pro, they seem to have a good network of technical guys who will actually help you not ignore you.

Car is back on the dyno on Monday, we will post results

Looks like the car will be ready for Circuit Club on the 7th of October. If you're out there and see a very slow, blue Skyline that will be me :)

Looking forward to finally getting some time in the car and hopefully start working on those lap times.

Back on the topic of the mirrors, the GKtech's don't appear to be suitable. Should I go for genuine ganadors? Are there any other options?

Quick update.

On the dyno at Race Solutions. These guys have been fantastic to deal with:

Engine Bay with new fuel reg, fuel rail, tomei cam gears and power steering cooler. Nothing too exciting but progress all the same :)

Awesome Mario thanks for posting. Looks like I have most of the decals sorted but this is a really good idea :)

Got any pics of the Primera?

Cheers!

    • Only needed to pull out the seats, center console and gear shifter surround, took a weekend and a fair few beers. You get to look forward to finding all sorts of weird shit under the seats and carpet, I pulled out a Chinese dudes passport from 2003, 220 yen and a condom wrapper 😆
    • Well, turns out not a lot happened from back then to now, between life again, and working on 3 separate other cars (only one of which was mine, and will now be departing the household soon).   So I decided with the whole "don't go outside, it's a cyclone!" Turning in to being not a whole lot, I ventured down to the garage, found a couple of water leaks in the shed (the main one I've already fixed), and then ended up "stuck" as it started pouring rain, and I didn't want to walk back inside in the pouring rain. This meant I ended up taking a look at the Skyline, and trying to work out what past Matt had been upto. I retraced a few things out from scratch, added the rest of the power feeds in that I needed for the indicators, and headlights. Double checked I'd wired a few things up correctly (and worked out how I wired a few things to begin with), updated my sparse notes. Added one of the ground points. Oh, and got really really dusty, as the car is quite dirty. Wrote up quickly what should be left for me to do with the wiring too. Adding the below photos more for my records than anything else. I need to make myself a proper book for the car that details everything, and how I've done it, but for now, this is my records... The third image is my most important one for me, and I need to draw it out into a proper schematic eventually. The last photo is my re-written list, I'd have put it on the white board, except I had to take the white board down to fix one of the water leaks.
    • Can try Maxima. Or random Infiniti models from the same era. Good luck with your hunt, let us know what you find!
