so baskins meet for this week are we doing it tomorrow or on NYE? As previously discussed our place is open for new years if you wanna do ice cream n then get wasted n play pool? Just let us know if anyone is interested n what you want to drink. Our beer supplies have taken a hit over xmas so it will be mostly spirits lol.

f**kers get your act together n tell us what's going on!

wow this thread is active!

anyway, yes tris that is def me in my pimp hat, rode shotgun with seb on the cruise, nice car when it holds boost, only blew that cooler pipe 2 times when i was in the car, both times i burnt my hand attempting to replace the pipe. 1.2 bar then pop!

yer its true thats version 2 of his car, the old one had a tear in the firewall so he reshelled it then spent heaps of time on ebay buying dodgy shit and waiting heaps of time for his turbo to be rebuilt.

But yer long time coming, nice car though, little rough around the edges but still nice.

As for me, i have been away again, had to swim my skyline through 30cm of water today on dirt road, so glade its been raised 3cm just had that extra bit of ride height i needed to get through it alive.

so guys im thinking about geting new rims for the GTR sometime soon, bit confused over what i should get, origninally wanted XD9s but considering other options as well,

after lookin at these pics i think white XD9s would look awesome on my gtr in 18x10 + 18 offset

but also seirously considering ROTA GRID DRIFT in white 18x10 + 15, i think theyr the ones which look like the TE37s

as compared to the ROTA GTR's which look like the LMGT4's

what do guys think? i think the price difference is a couple of hundred , will probably be lookin at 3200 for the works and 2700 for the ROTA GRIDS with Falken 18/265's all round .

What do you guys reckon, car will also be getting the Bilstein Suspension Kit that Dan @ ERD sells, and the one i thnk Colin has,

any feedback would be appreciated,

Cheers

Adam

I on the other hand think the XD9's look fantastic, especially white rims with your purple skyline.

Not a big fan of rota, and especially since the price is so similar, may as well go for the real thing

Not a huge fan of multi spokes on 33s. I think the 5 or 6 spokes look better. still can't go wrong with works lol.

+1. 33 are FAT. They dont suit multi spokes at all. Unless you really love the rims so much, else I wouldnt recommend them at all.

I actually quite like the multi-spoke look!

Holy crap, that would have been an interesting ride

Yeah I wouldn't buy Rotas myself but not because of all those shitty pics on the net. You will find the majority of those pics are after a car has had a bad off on the track or something like that so not the best thing to look at. They will be fine for daily driving as long as you can live with having fake rims :down:

    • 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...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
