Before I have a go at butchering it myself. Does anyone know anywhere that has facilities for removing locknuts? Lost my key. Thanks

What are the Falken racing slicks sizes. Is this tyres only.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}> Thats a nice looking wheel. Is a set on offer for trade.

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...howtopic=106088 Pics are up here now

Possibly may not fit with RE540 tyres. With a smaller tyre maybe. What wheel and tyre configuration do you have now? I am after some 17s for track work.

Dont suppose you could show us a side on pic. Thanks

(Item:Buddy Club P1 18x8/9 wheels and TOYOT1s 235 front RE540 265 rear Location:Adelaide Item Condition:Wheels Excellent Tyres worn Reason for Selling:Setting up some 17inch track wheels Price and Payment Conditions:$1600 Downsizing my wheels to something a bit more affordable for track days. These look killer on white or silver cars. Some have pics on these forums. Prefer Adelaide buyer but will post if needed. Offset on the rears are 35 I believe only marked on a dirty sticker so hard to read. Guards need to be rolled to fit the RE540s which stick like hell. Tyres all round have seen a few track days and are ready to be replaced in the near futrue however will do for a while. Link for sizes pricing more pics etc. http://www.c-red.com.au/parts/buddyclub/p1...2.shtml#pricing Nearly $4000 worth of wheels. SOLD

In Particulary am after 8s for the front and 9s for the rear. They are 9s all round arnt they. Might be too wide for the front.

I have been considering a set of these however have wondered what they look like on a car. Why did they look bad? Could you get some pics.

Been away for a few months and am wondering where all the Jap performance shops are now. Know of Viva garage. Any others?

Does anyone know of some secondhand 17 inch tyres for track work. Like the RE540 or equivalent. Have heard of ex race stuff getting around. Trying to set up a set of track wheels and tyres. Havent got the weels yet either so if anyone have any 17x8/9s they want to sell let me know. Thanks

Do you use a straw??

Anyone painted wheels here before. Wondering what the best process is. Wheels in question have anadized side walls. Or have anyone had some done and at what cost.

Keen on seeing some overall pics on the car. Please send to [email protected] Is the 9.5 275 rear tyres a little wide? Does it scrape the guards at all? Cheers Greg

Back in Adelaide next week so I may be keen to have a look. I am after a set of track wheels. I am actually trying to sell some Buddy Club P1 series 2 wheels in 18x8/9 with rubber on if your keen for a deal.

Does anyone have or seen these fitted to any cars? If so how did they look? And would you have any pics? Cheers

No I have a aftermarket exhaust manifold. I havent been near my car for 3.5 months as am overseas with the Defence Force, however from memory it was around the 16 deg on the PFC. Now this is not always exactly accurate as it depends on the base timing under the bonnet. I had this turbo before anyone else that could be read about on these forums. There were no kits readily available then, well on Greenline anyway so I had one made. Funnily it is pretty close to the kit item. I get home mid next week and have pics of this stuff if you want to PM your email. I think I have posted dyno results a long time ago. I will have a search for a link.

Yeah I have a standard bottom end. The head has been lightly ported with HKS GTR 256 cams. SR20 exh valves from memory. Solid lifters etc. CAM gears. Greddy plenum with Q45 throttle boddy and custom exh manifold. All this was done after I had the turbo so might be a little too much flow/demond on the turbo. That said it has made 312rwkw on a couple of different dynos. I do run the Apexi boost kit which was second hand so I may consider something else like maybe the e-boost. To be honest I would just stick to maybe pon cams, maybe exh manifold (proven one there can be some dodgy ones). Or stick with standard gear if its making the power. A lot of money can be spent on little gains. My head only ended up the way it has because I had the cams given to me. However cost more than I thought to set up. Will be a killer on a 3L motor however. 22Psi at around 6800rpm and drops off to 16psi at 7500rpm. I have decided to go the 0.87 housing and see how that goes.

No worries. I have decided to try the larger housing option having thought it over. Will get back to you if I am still interested. Thanks

Are you just after 18inch tyres as I am considering selling my Buddy Club 18inch series 2 wheels ( same colour). 18x9 &18x8 with toyoT1s and Re540s on the rear. Tyres are worn all round so wont really last long. I am looking for a set of 17inch track wheels. Maybe we could do a deal.

Yeah I have actually watched it happen on the dyno. It opens initially as the pressure becomes too great then will close a little after it looses some pressure and power curve will rise. It drops off as most turbos do in the upper rev range. With the standard 15psi actuator it is real bad, like 20kw drop at 6000rpm compared to a 20psi actuator I use with extra spring. Only problem is it still opens and restricts me to running 20+psi. Plus I seem to get detonation at the point it releases boost at 6000rpm. Might be just noise from the actuator as is detonation registered on the PFC HC and not audible.

Hi all. I have noticed a few 2835ProS turbos getting around now and am wondering if anyone has had the wastegate being pushed open. I have extensive mods including GTr cams, exh manifold, plenum, large throttlebody etc etc. My issue is that at 6000rpm my wastegate is being pushed open. I have tried the tightest spring tension I can, even to the point that it can make 20psi on spring alone (still opening). I have tried dual chamber wastegates with nothing working. The car has made 300rwkw at 22psi so turbo has easily reached its potential. With the wastegate opening at 6000rpm noticeable on the power curve. I am now thinking that the 0.67 ar exh housing may be too small for the flow I am getting. These turbos do come with a 0.87 housing so may be the go if I can find one. Does anyone want to swap? Any more thoughts would help. Cheeers

I wish I had boost creep. My current dilema is that I cant hold boost as my wastegate gets pushed open. I only have a 0.67exh ar making 280rwkw with a 2835Pros so was considering going to external gate. Thinking now a bigger ar exh housing would help allowing more flow and maybe less pressure. If you like to sell it let me know how much your after it may be worth grabbing anyway. Thanks

Hi does anyone know of any good quality second hand external wastegates for sale. Thinking of around the 40mm size. Thanks

High I am keen for one of these. How much to Adelaide. Back in country on the 7th Feb so would it be too late to get one then. Cheers
