There are only 2 sets of those rims in the country.

a white R33 GTR has the other set - apparently worth 8k.

Where did you hear that?

They're Dronell rims, and aren't that expensive. Tempe Tyres, Ozzy Tyres, etc, can all get them, and the rims on the white R33 GTR (GTR51K) aren't the same. Very similar, but not the same.

I have seen these Dronell rims on many European cars (BMWs mainly), and they certainly aren't the only set in Australia.

from the owner himself - i cruise with him and the other skyline i mentioned quite a bit.

that 32 should see 600hp when they finally finish tuning it too.

apologies if it's not the only 2 sets - i'm not into wheels so i take their word for it.

Those rims are bloody horny, but they certainly aren't that exclusive. :)

Have a close look at Angelo's car the next time you go for a cruise... If I remember correctly, the spokes flare out slightly at the edge of the rim, and aren't parallel like the Dronells on that beautiful R32 GTR in question.

600hp eh? Should be good for high 10s-low 11s? Awesome :P

That black GTR was at the gong cruise last Sunday.

Put it this way....i made a trip or 2 into the bushes throughout the day after taking afew pics of it (...or was that coz i noticed some women disappearing into the bushes, oh well)

if it's the r32 you are talking about on page 1,

i think it's actually purple - if you see the top corner (drivers side) of the front bar you can see it.

i've only ever seen the car at night - has been off the road for around 2 years after an accident.

don't worry, allens a fcukwit anyway and talks outa his arse!

I'm afraid I have to second that. A long time ago I was trying to post on the fast fours forums and he acted nice via pm, then when I posted he slammed me in front of everyone.

Then a whole thread was created to slam Loz recently. As well as countless others I have seen heavilly flamed by Allan GTI-R for no reason on those forums.

Oh and by the way Allan GTI-R ..... welcome to the Forums.

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
