mate , if you get those rims be sure to post pics of them on your car please.

I've got a black s2 r33, and im still trying to decide what times to get when i do get some. I'll be going 18's, and at the moment Work emotion CR Kai is leading the way....but also looking into some black centres with a polished lip, which your ones arent far off.

Will be good to see them on a black 33 to give me an idea :banana:

But Al i like cars dumped so low they scrape driving on a flat road (<--- note the sarcasm)

Hey Al maybe i'll just go all out and get a set of 24's then my car will look like your avitar LOL =D

Jokes aside I am going to get the gaurds rolled and it lowered properly, to just within legal standards that is =)

Do you think that is possible to engineer 19's on a line, would probally have to be awfully low profile tyres like 2**/10's or something

Hey Al,

did you buy chance put that stuff on your headlights thatg makes them go smoky like???

If so, ya reckon you could send me a pick please...

Ohhh yeah go the Soccerooooooooosssss =D

The law states the the complete rolling diameter (tyres included) must not exceed 20mm larger than factory. Having extremely low profile will possible scrap in, but the ride will be serverly sacrificed. I would think that getting an engineers could overcome this. Honestly it is best to ring Vicroads or DOTARS and just ask, they are not going to hunt you down, or maybe the will :D

If you are refering to my sig, the lights look smokey due to the resizing of the resolution, they are actually quite clear, and i like to keep them that way :D. If you want your h'lights to go that smokey/yellowy colour, leave it in direct sunlight, eventually they will fade over time. Not sure why you would want them that colour :yes:

Just found a pic to justify why you shouldn't get 20's. Using the same profile for my tyres as a typical 18" rim, this is how close my tyre gets to the upper controll arm. The tyre will never hit as the arm moves up/down with the wheel. But it is damn close and i wouldn't want to get closer.

Yikes.. thats a little too close for comfort!

They would touch under compression and deformation of the tyre under heavy cornering though wouldnt they? Do you hear scraping under heavy cornering at all?

Primordial: Nah it's fine. As stated the arm moves up/down with the wheel. Have never scraped that arm as there is no scuffs on the metal, have rubbed the inside gaurd liner though :P, but that was due to having 245's at the front (now 235) and a slightly lower ride.

19"s with the same profile tyres as 18"s would make your speedo read out quite a way right?
Nope..............

Has actually corrected the factory error :P

Have tested it on a dyno and on the Hwy's, when my needle is spot on 100 i am actually doing 98km/h :laugh:.

Sorry Al i prob wasnt clear enough you know how sometimes you see cars with the lights blackened out but then when they turn them on they go clear like the skyline out of asm 32 ...

I was thinking that maybe, or doing some projector style head lights, but then i dont want to many defects on my car i dont mind the wheels though...

What the biggest dish anyone has got on there line??

    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
