Yeah I know about that site (its where I got the links to the pictures I posted before).

I was looking at the JTGC(sp) Skylines/350z and what they have on, they look slanted. That's the look I want basically.

Lucien, very nice photoshop there. Love the wheels but one thing that has stopped me from ordering these, or my fave Nismo LMGT4's is the lack of dish!!! Yes the inward slanted spokes issue had always confused me. I thought it was an offset issue? In any case I have just found out that my Brembos do not fit under my BBS LM's!!! I am not 100% sure but my mechanic seems to think they might not fit. In this case I will HAVE to buy new rims (or opt for spacers). So, time's a tickin!!!! Deep dish WORK Meisters or LMGT4's or TE37's! ARGH! It's headache material for sure.

justinfox: well, they aren't really a dish style wheel, but there are plenty of similar designs (copies, on might suggest) that incorporate a dish if that's what your after :)

Personally I don't mind the lack of dish because I like the styling of the TE-37s. Offset will effect the slanting, but AFAIK they all have some inwards slant.

Its a little hard to make out, but those are Nismo LM GTMAG's I believe. They are made under license by Rays/Volk, and are basically a TE-37 varient with one less spoke and a slightly different design around the wheel nut area.

IWells, have you got your rims yet???

Actually, since you mention is, they are being loaded into a car for transport on wednesday: car leaves bound for Syney on saturday so all being well I should have them in three weeks.

But things ever goes according to plan when it comes to the import game :D

    • I buy my wheel cleaner in 4 litre bottles now. Euro brakes are brutal
    • Sounds like it may all just be some baseless outrage stoked by the carexplore guy? As in the linked social media outrage on facebook just goes back to carexplore as a source again. Further shown by the council response that nothing actually has changed: "The Private Land Use Permit has been part of the Casey Community Local Law for a number of years. It's important to clarify that this permit is not new, and no changes have been made to the permit or the Local Law in relation to the permit." The full council response in Prank's link sounds reasonable to me. Saying that as someone who neither lives there nor has a front yard to call their own  
    • Clutch hydraulics are also all good, looks like a brand new slave cylinder and everything bled up well. No idea what the actual clutch is, and I don't intend to pull the box off on the floor to find out, so unless we have trouble on the dyno or at shakedown that will remain a mystery for the new owner
    • Front brakes are G4 8 pot calipers over 330mm discs with braided lines. Everything looks good, pretty sure these are off my old 350. Pads are brand new and judging from gold colour are Winmax which is what I also run on my race car, Neil and I both sourced brake stuff from Matty at Racebrakes Sydney who really knows his stuff Everything has bled up nicely with all new Motul RBF600 fluid, there were 2 loose hard line connections and the calipers were new on the car so I ended up doing it 3 times but it is perfect now
    • So, starting with the rear brakes. They look like standard R33 GTST, and will need new pads shortly (less than 5mm material, probably only 1 day left). The slotted discs (probably DBA) are near new at 18.01mm and the lines are braided
