Digsy Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 Can anyone please help me find a set of the GTR alloys!? Anyone know how much they would cost? I think i want these on my Zed!!! Can you not check their gtr forum? Im guessing alot of people will upgrade so you could get them cheaper just like rays on here. Wouldn't say alot mind? Maybe in a future yeah but not for a while I would think. +1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisjones6699 Posted August 19, 2009 Author Share Posted August 19, 2009 I've just signed up to the GTR forum in hope i might get a set from there! wish me luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisjones6699 Posted August 20, 2009 Author Share Posted August 20, 2009 I found a guy who wants to sell his wheels!!! He wants £2000 for them! I think that's a good price! Bad news is that they don't come with tyres!!! tyres would cost £1000 :S what a nightmare! I think this might be a lost cause! Just out of intrest, does anyone know what work I would have to carry out to get the GTR alloys on my Zed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AK350Z Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 should be able to get a nitrogen fill at most performance garages. i know silverstone performance does, so do demon tweeks. advantage is that nitrogen isn't affected by heat so the pressure doen't increase or decrease during use. The whole Nitrogen fill thing doesn't make that much difference. The co-efficient of expansion of nitrogen is 0.8 compared to air's 1.0, and of course air is 78% nitrogen in the first place. If you used properly conditioned, dry air in the first place, such as you get in a factory (but almost certainly not from your local garage), the difference would be minimal in most circumstances short of a full race.

chrisjones6699 Posted September 9, 2010 Author Share Posted September 9, 2010 Re-living this thread! I love it when a plan comes together! Chris mate, just to let you know, I did try the locusts (minging!!) also tried, tarantula, snake, bat and RAT! Rat was by far the nicest and tasted like pork!
