THIS IS NOT FOR A SKYLINE:

I need to borrow 4 rims and tires for a Mitsubishi Lancer. The ones that came with the car put the track off by 20mm, and also didnt have the right load rating (only 500kg not 530).

I borrowed a set off a mate of mine, but they didn't pass either, the rolling diameter was out... (They were 70s i need 65s).

This is what i am after, either to borrow stock MR lancer mags (most idea option but they must be the STOCK ones, and have the correct tire width and height), or else the specific ones on the tire placard:

185/65R14's with a load rating no less than 86 (530kg), and a speed rating of no less than H. The rim size is 5.5J.

Please get back to me asap if can help me out. THANKS!

Any one? Need to sort this out by the end of this week!

Yeah, tis a bit of a bitch, no wreckers have them, nor ezy scrap. I wish i knew some one with one, but dont atm...

The ones i borrowed from a mate had the 70's not 65's so didnt pass...

Looks like we may have to buy 4 crap cheap arse tires for this.....

Ended up buying some second hand ones with bout 90% tread for $55 a corner. bit better than $71-75 for the cheapest new ones.... Will have to do, and when we can afford it, will get nicer rims and tires for the car again.

Pack it with foam or some shit haha

I was told to put some metal flyscreen gauze stuff in the pipe somewhere where it can't be seen by inspectors and that should help muffle it more.

Just DON'T Flogggg the Carp out of it !

yes I said carp. :thumbsup: Here fishy fishy fishy...

The metal flyscreening is best and as long as dont flog it then it will not be an issue, and it is easy to clean out and remove after.

The other thing you can use is the big loop sturdy steel wool. We used that stuff in our motorbike at home for years so as not to piss off the neighbours when we road it around the yard as kids.

Heya everyone!

So I had a preemptive check done on my car for rego.

Got the over 9000 window tint removed but now I need a set of stock r34 wheels with good tread (apparently my wheels are too wide) and a stock exhaust or a quieter cannon I could buy off someone.

If anyone wants to help me out I can repay you with you favorite beverage or swing a few spendoolies your way.

So glad I got a week long permit and not just a day long one.

Wicked! I'm just going to see tomorrow if an exhaust shop can just chuck a resonator in my current system because I know one has been taken out but if I can't get that done in time...

Hey guys,

did not even notice this thread!

Does anyone have a stock or quiet catback exhaust for an R32 GTS/GTST that me and my dad could borrow for his car to pass roadworthy? We tried the steel wool trick and it still failed :down:

Cheers!

Hey all, I had some stock wheels sorted but the guy will be away on my days off (tomorrow and thursday) Does anyone happen to have a set of stock r34 rims they could swap for mine while i get my rego check?

cheers,

Andy B

Hey guys does anyone have a torque wrench I can borrow on the weekend? Me and dad are swapping the whole from suspension/hub assembly on his 32 and looking at the service manual we're gonna need a torque wrench lol.

Cheers,

Drew

    • Some troubleshooting, connect up a timing light/gun with a proper ignition lead on coil 1. Hold the revs at 4~4500rpm and see if your timing is all over the shop, scattering off its tits. If so, there's a high chance your CAS is fked. But I read you have a Link ECU ready to go in, why not just skip all this and put that in - will make troubleshooting so much easier.  
    • Misfires when the car is fully warm are generally attributed to the coils (and/or the igniter, on cars with a separate igniter). They can stop working properly when they get hot for a number of reasons. Either electric/electronic, or from thermal expansion opening up gaps and allowing HV leakage. Seeing as you have replaced the coils, that could/should rule them out. But I wouldn't always assume so. Were the coils genuine? Or is there a chance you have bought some counterfeit Chinesium shit? Then we're back onto loom connections. They can fail when warm/hot for the same reasons. Inspections, cleaning of contact surfaces, ensuring that terminals are fully inserted, etc etc, are all justified. The same (heat effects) holds true for the other electrics and their connectors. AFM & CAS, primarily. If you try that Chinesium AFM, drive it around on low load until it is properly hot, but do'nt give it more load than you have to, except when you need to see if it will still miss. I'm dead serious about the untrustworthiness of the calibration of those copy AFMs. Injectors are unlikely to get hot unless the fuel is coming back around hot. You could try squirting them with compressed air or freeze spray to cool them back down to see if they are maybe the cause.
    • Alright, all the plugs looks good. Noticed that it starts to get bad when the car is up to temp, that's when things starts to misfire hard. next to do is Injector cleaning and such. Got in touch with a shop to do work on the injectors next Monday also help on diagnosis.
    • House of Fatz dry dock needs a clean sadly one of the long time stables is leaving this weekend   see ya mr purple
    • Hence why I've only modified my car into a pure daily. Everything has to remain reliable & roadworthy, while providing value and grin factor. It also must not be handcrafted to the extent that the car will be immovable if something breaks because you cannot get or make a replacement to at least limp around with.
