Ok I see your car is white....well I reckon you should dice those 2 you selected and go stealth.

Try the apache wheels from TRYDIS' suggested website...www.stgeorgetyres.com.au

I did a kwik 2 minute cut and paste for ya...wheel angles aren't right but it gives you a good indication anyway.

The gold version aint bad either!!

Drifters use so many different types of wheels on their cars, how can you classify a single style of wheel as being 'drift style'? Just like the 'drift wing'? Whatever....

For what it's worth, although the mesh would be harder to clean as has already been mentioned, they do look classier. Just promise that the offsets are suitable for RWD cars... :happy:

yeah im gunna go with the m190s

they have a big dish on em 2 so i think it will look hot as, i was thinkin of goin gold but the only ones i like are the speedy one with the gold centre and crhome lip, but because of the way they are made the rear brakes wont fit in 18s so id have to get 19s and they are 550 just for a wheels each.

so fark that, but with gmax 190s, he has an over stock, so he'll do em heap as and he also sponsered me in last years auto salon with my astra SRI turbs, so i know him pritty well,

anyway thnks for your help guys

i just got a new set of wheels and tyres last week and need some advice.

235/40/R18 front

265/35/R18 rear

does it matter if the overall diameter of the front and rear tyres are different, i'm still on stock standard suspension. i'm worried that the difference in diameter will affect the drive and the height of the car.

cheers

From the tyre calculator: 235/40 goes best with 265/35 as there is minimal diameter difference. Not sure in other states but in QLD overall diameter difference must not be more than 15mm.

Speedo does go out but very minimally for the below combos.

Stock Tire - 225/45R17 >Search Tires Tire 1 - 235/40R18 >Search Tires Tire 2 - 265/35R18 >Search Tires

Rim Diameter: 17 in 431.8 mm

Rim Diameter: 18 in 457.2 mm

Rim Diameter: 18 in 457.2 mm

Overall Diameter: 24.97 in 634.23 mm

Overall Diameter: 25.40 in 645.16 mm

Overall Diameter: 25.30 in 642.62 mm

Actual Speed: 60 mph 100 km/h

Speedometer1: 58.9 mph 98.3 km/h

Speedometer1: 59.2 mph 98.7 km/h

Speedometer Difference: - Speedometer Difference: 1.722% too slow Speedometer Difference: 1.313% too slow

Diameter Difference: - Diameter Difference: 1.7% Diameter Difference: 1.31%

It dosen't really matter on a rear wheel only drive car but it does depend moreso on the series of tyre you are using on the rear in comparison to what you had on the car before you got the 18s.

I first had 255/45/17 on the rears of the car then I went to 245/35/19 and it was the worst mistake I ever made plus the speedo was about 4-6 km/h out.

Now I've gone back to 17s and the ride is much better once again.

      Cas issue

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.

      R34 4 door side skirt identification

      Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.

      boost source Size Garrett gt28 gen2

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
