Baught from them, they were excellent. One year ago 18" Rims with tyres for $1500 i think with lock nuts. St george tyres arent bad either, way cheaper them tempe, not quiet as much range. VERY fast response too via email.

Usually when your keen on buying something though, you ring up, order them (like i did) and pay via credit card or another alternative and they'll send them out to you. Not many genuine buyers purchase items via email.

Think you'll find too when you pay for them they send you down a fax, you fill it in, sign it etc etc, and thats your security for the purchase.

That's a good point, they are very cheap and usually any place that's far cheaper than the rest is quite busy. They may also have less staff than comparable organisations to keep costs down =)

Pump them with email or better yet call them, they've gotta answer the phone =D

Try Big O-Tyres. I was pleasantly surprised by helpful they were with trial fitting rims on my car, very patients with me while im ummmed and erred over the decision. No pressure at all.

Good bunch of ppl too, and have a good range of bling rims, racey rims and quality rims. I had no idea if i got a good price, until i did some howework weeks after, and it turns out they were well priced to boot :)

Dont know if thats indicative of the service they normally provide, or i got lucky, but worth a try. ( i will add that they were recommended by a friend who rang them to say i was swingign by...so that may have put their mind at ease that i was walkign off with rims and they probably werent too stressed with me walkign away having wasted their time)

I dont live in Sydney so they sent my rims out. One they sent me was the wrong one (dunno how they could send me 3 the same and one wrong but anyway) It was a bit of a hassel trying to sort it out. If you have any trouble just make sure you get their name and always ask for them next time you ring.

    • You very likely need to get it on a dyno and tune it. My assumption is, you've got an RB25DET tune in it, which has a different manifold, different injectors, and different cams as a minimum. What O2 sensor are you running?   When you say it runs extremely rich from idle all the way to redline, is this just free revving it you see that?
    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
