Hard to believe, but after months of waiting and successfully selling my TE37s, my BRAND NEW CE28N rims won't clear my brakes. 381mm Harrop 6 piston

I could have the brakes reduced (bad idea)

I am willing to swap my brand new CE28N rims in Silver 18 x 10.5 +18

for a set of

18 x 10.5 +15 TE37 rims - second hand, but in good condition.

PM me if you know someone or want to do a deal..

I will not be interested in anything but 10.5in TE37s. Nothing else fits.

As much as this must be a pain in the ass for you - I can't help but find it funny :)

Will be a shame to lose the CEs though - they look porn.

TB asks if the problem is with the offset - can new hats be fitted to act as a spacer?

you got it. Spokes aren't an issue.

The thing is I took one of Jacks rims to Harrop and they digitised it and were able to use cad to fit the brakes in. All looks perfect. They did the same with the TE37 I got from James.

Thing is though, the TE37 fitted with ease, the CE28 didn't. (sob)

Tis a bugger alright. I waited months for them, spend a small fortune, sold the TE37s which James was kind enough to do a deal on, all for that extra inch. Admittedly, if I could get an extra inch somewhere else for that money I'd get it...

I may have to commit sacrilege and have my brakes machined a bit smaller and grind any unnecessary aluminium of the callipers.

At the moment, I am praying for rain next weekend. Then street tyres will do the job at Sandown, otherwise, Snowman - you got me..

Half your luck...doctors tell me there is no helping mine...no matter how much coinage i front with.

A silly idea that i havent thought through, but here it goes...have you spoken to Speedline or any other race wheel manufacturer? Is it perhaps possible to get a race wheel that is available in 5 stud instead of single hubs????

that sux Aaron, i have 4 pot brakes at front and needed 25mm spacers to fit my rims over the brakes, the spokes were the issue for me.

I was planning on getting dished CE28N's next year and i reckon i might have the same problem.

How bout Volk GT-N's Aaron? u tried them?

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      For fuelling the Haltechs have O2WB fuel controllers. Very useful for helping tuning VE and correcting for *small* mistakes. Of course if your injector/cam/trigger/sensor data is just wrong (or for a GTT which is not a GT) then you will get impossible reactions to things. I am sure you know this already but the reason people don't typically put haltechs (or any Aftermarket ECU) on GT's is because there's practically no real gains to be had - So this knowledge won't be commonplace.

      Can someone tell me if the cracks seen in the rear sway bar bushings in these photo's is unacceptable from a roadworthy point of view?

      Shouldn't need a "base map" for anything other than guidance to ignition tuning. You just need the engine capacity right, the injector size right, and something, almost anything, for a VE map. On an NA engine, fuelling is almost completely a function of load signal & rpm. It should run and drive with a completely flat fuel map. It will be too lean under load, but that's easily fixed. We used to tune all ECUs without any base map. There were no such things (until someone had tuned a near stock engine on one, and then they had a "base map".

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      What did you actually buy/how much did it cost? When I got mine in like.. 2017...? 2019? the aim was to run Torque for gauges via ODB2 and things like Track Addict/Laptimers/Dashcam/Reversecam/Spotify etc. Mine never broke, but I wonder if you've got the same needs (it sounds like it). Cause I liked the idea of being able to do anything with it. That said, yours also cost 3x the cost of what I spent so... food for thought.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      For me there is a massive difference in manufacturer or big brand crippled android (Sony, Kenwood etc) vs the sort of thing I've installed here, which is basically just a tablet in DIN form factor with open Android, and the other model of course is mirroring - Android Auto/Carplay. I hate the locked down manufacturer and AA options where they decide what apps I'm allowed to install, including the Launcher but also importantly things like Ecutek (for this car) or Real Dash (Stagea) are not supported. Plus those crippled versions tend to be slower due to both overheads and lower spec hardware. On the other hand, when this breaks I'll likely be in trouble for support....but how is that different to owning an Infiniti anyway
