and back on the original thread title " Are Koya A Good Brand Of Wheel? " for the price, yes, nothing wrong with them. First set I got was fine, just the offset wasn't great, because I didn't request anything specifically. 2nd set I gave a specific offset and size, and got exactly what I wanted.

but you had previously said in your submission to the forum> " I did not tell them what off-set I wanted other them tell them about the make model and year of the car - counted on them to do the research to know what off-set would fit or ask me for any other information if needed" so Adz is correct is what he has said - you only told them what car you have, no further information. That is in your own words. As you had also said " That's the power of the internet, nothing is too old.". What you say, is recorded for future reference. Your ego is unbelievable; determined in your own mind ' it's all their fault". You state " I don't feel I have to share what Car I drive or what offset the wheels had in this forum " .. I think that as you've never actually said, what car you have, and what size you asked for, that you do actually know you've fkd up, but can't admit it to yourself. Furthermore as per Australian Consumer law " a product must be reasonably fit for any purpose specified by the customer " . You're the customer. You didn't specify. I'll say it again, you didn't specify. One more time, You didn't specify. What there a problem with the product itself? Poor quality, cracked/damaged, missing parts, incorrect color? There wasn't, otherwise you would have disclosed this. As someone experienced in court/tribunal matters, I really do think you should take it to VCAT...because you are going to get ripped to shreds, and be up for tribunal costs; possibly a claim of defamation from Koya as well. Especially as you have publicly acknowledged " With hindsight, I should have taken measurements and told them what offset I wanted.". I must advise, I have contacted Koya warning them of your comments and your claim of proceeding to VCAT, and have offered to represent them in the matter free of charge, as I deal with these sort of ludicrous claims regularly in my occupation. They replied thanking me but obviously have their own legal department to attend to such matters. Do yourself a favour - look in the mirror, acknowledge your error and forgive yourself for it, sell the wheels on gumtree and buy a new set specifying exactly what you're after , following your having done the necessary research to ensure you get exactly what you have requested.

Thanks gtsb

good day old chums so, if like me, you're running a few accessories like EBC, datalogger, knocklight, AFC, they will need tapping into signals like rpm and throttle, etc, off the ecu. Query is, if you run multiple taps into the ecu's rpm wire for example, does the signal strength weaken as it's run off to multiple sources, or will the ecu wire and all associated devices get a full strength signal? thank u

I believe transmax Z is obsolete. ..and an auto trans fluid, not a p/s fluid.

Pity the fool who doesn't know about the sounds coming from Eastern Europe

Still running it actually mate, has performed flawlessly so far. Not long after i got it there was a thread on here with a part number for a rebuild kit for oem starter.

Hello old chap I am new to cars myself as i catch the bus and don't have one, but my mate knows cars real good and the last thing he said to me before he got sent down for a two-stretch was, if you ever get a turbo'd car and don't use a boost controller, make sure the wastegate is connected to the piping before the throttle, not after. I remembered it as i was expecting a goodbye or something so it seemed a strange thing for him to say, but turned out to be good advice, given your query now and the situation we find ourselves in.

i'm pretty certain whiteline and nolathane are same company (Redranger Pty Ltd). I have some whiteline, some nolathane, some superpro across the car...can't say I see a difference, just the different design you may prefer between manufacturers, eg, diff bushes. Urethane bushes have been around that long I'd be surprised if either company had some miracle advantageous compound over that of their competitor...but still charge a similar price for their product. I'd use whichever you can get cheapest. Although as above, might be better to just spend a little more and get whole new adjustable arms, and some bushes are better rosejointed.

I think you should still post it.

I would suggest getting a wideband gauge if yr using an safc. I think my aem one was under 300? Have had it a few years on car and still going strong. Otherwise yr shooting in the dark adjusting safc, and in the danger zone. .not the good Kenny Loggins type either

Used oem myself, but kudos did recommend cometic..meant to be good.

by car bra are you meaning this sort of thing? each to their own of course; I've never understood it myself. Making sure your car looks good for that special occasion in the future by making it look shit every day until then. Just budget for a paint touch up in the future if it does get significantly damaged/aged?

ok now watched the video...looked normal to me. Diffs don't have zero backlash, they have a small amount for a very good reason, which is visible as a bit of turn in the driveshaft like that, when not under load. the 5 bolt driveshafts on the r33 gtst use a 5-ball cv joint in both the inner and outer, which for most purposes is as strong as fk, there's nothing in there to ' break' really, only wear a groove at best, unlike the 3x2 bolt shafts which I believe use a 3x ball bearing race on the inner. I rebuilt a spare set of shafts and they had exactly the same movementousness as my old ones, which when pulled apart had no visible wear. What I am getting at is if you're not having any ' issue' as such, the bit of movement like that is unlikely to be any concern.

Having had the same movement, i rebuilt the cv's, replaced bearings, new bushes, new diff centre with perfect backlash...i still have the same movement. However..

Scoring is definitely something to worry about. Pump gears are pump specific so 26 won't fit rb25 pump. From sound of it, suggest you get a new pump. I use an rb26 N1 pump with Spool gears, was best price overall and have had no issues with it on rb25

Or put the whole engine/trans/ecu package in...best option if budget allows.

Yea you can...in time of desp need. Make sure is well lubed when putting back on so doesn't grab/fold the seal lip.

Or rocket surgery. In this case, a vac source is a vac source.

Those things look siiick. Do you have a link to the seller's ad pls? Ones i found on ebay were 300ish plus.

could you specify the size wheel (height, width and offset) you recieved for the car you have please?

lol...so did you specify the offset you wanted? or just ' hoped' they would know the perfect offset for your car? And then get cut because they wouldn't give you a free swap to a different offset after you'd fitted them to the car and didn't like the way they sat? The first set of koya drifteks I got were fkn horrible, they sat too far inwards like stock wheels.....oh wait....I didn't specify an offset to them. ..so they sent out something based on stock fitment. Yep my bad, not theirs.

The only thing a driveway like that respects is a show of force. Drive the car at speed at it, your bent chassis rails will be a trophy of victory.
