Hey Guys,

Just wondering whats the going trend in wheels for Lines @ the mo i tried to source a set of Advan RS and i think RGII's for my line but found the to be quite expensive (altough i new they would be but damn that much!!!)

Neway im going to be selling my 18" vault savanah's soon as im looking to upgrade to 19's or 20's...

My car is a Black 95 Gts-t

Any ideaS???

dont follow trends, get what you think looks good...as long as it isnt big chromies....i f'ing HATE big chromies lol, they LOOK LIKE PLASTIC !! most do anyway, there are a FEW exceptions...

First of all good choice on getting rid of the vaults haha, those rims and any other big chromies makes the line look cheap. Going bigger then 18s would kill the ride comfort and also your wallet for tyres. I would rather go for 18s but hey its your decision, if you rekon bigger is better ther go for it mate. Check out konig unknowns on the ozzytyres site they would look nice on a black line. Weighing around 7kg per rim but heard they are quite expensive.

19's DO NOT LOOK OUT OF PLACE on R33's.

But you will loose low end torque and top end power, get about 50km less per tank, and probably loose a little handling. Comfort is the SAME as 18's provided you get the same profile, ie:235/35/19.

19's are purely just for looks, everthing else stick with 18's :) That's why i have a spare set of 17's, for track, spirited cruises and dyno days.

I would stay away from 20's!

    • 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...
