I'm considering buying these wheels for my series 1 1997 stagea - I'm pretty confident that they'll fit after looking at the posts on here - but just want some of you guys to give me an opinion - please do

I think the 225/40x18 toyos will give me a fairly close to original rolling radius too

I think?

:D

18" REDLINE 5 X 114 ALLOY WHEELS MATT BLACK + TOYO T1S

A SET OF 4 - 7.5 X 18 REDLINE (INOVITE) NEW ALLOY WHEELS

PCD OF 5 X 114 WITH AN OFF SET OF 38MM

215/35X18 OR 225/40X18 TOYO T1S TYRES

cheers :)

A better fitment may be the 235/40R18 - which a number of us are running.

Also, why choose an obsolete tyre. The new tyre in the Toyo range is the Proxes T1R.

Check out www.toyo.com.au.

nice mag - get 235/40/18 or 45 for sure.

ummm, Id suggest the Hankook K104 Ventus, very nice tyre around $200ea

18" REDLINE 5 X 114 ALLOY WHEELS MATT BLACK + TOYO T1S

Don't Stagea's take 5X114.3 same as Skylines? not sure how much effect the .3 will have???

Hum@nzee is in the UK too guys so he won't be poping down to Tempe...

Cheers

thanks guys - basically if they fit without causing any problems I'll go for them and the toyos because they're a package deal that looks like good value - full set with locking nuts and new nuts mounted and balanced for less than £700 - seems good - just wanted to be confident that they wouldn't rub and clear the standard brakes.

sounds like they will so might go for it - keep suggestions coming if you have wisdom to pass on - much appreciated :starwars:

qikstagea - car is dark blue at the moment - but I'm gonna go for either a gun metal or a brighter mica type blue - either should go well with the wheels anyway (says the art teacher ;) )

you've had a look at cyrus' thread about his new rims? plethora of info and random input there, few pics too.

dark looks good on the light blue mica (bayside?), as seen on 34 gtrs etc, very stealthy on your darker cars.

What about the offset? I'd think that +38mm will stick out quite far. I have +30mm front and rear, and this is what Nismo recommend for the Stagea (Nismo's Stagea parts list)

I have Nismo LM GT2's in Nismo's dimensions for the Stagea and they fit well.

That is such a cool page, look at all the goodies you waste *cough* I mean invest in :D

we'll soon see if they fit - ordered them :ban: - the guy seemed very reasonable and they are fairly local to me - said he was confident that they would fit and that provided I hadn't buggered them up in anyway he'd have them back and sort me something else. fingers crossed - should have some tasty pictures with 'em on my wagon next week - if you don't here from me for a week or two you'll know it went tits up! :rofl:

    • Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi 
    • Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom
    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off. 
    • I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell.
