Hi there guy, I just bought a skyline 2 days back and is having heaps of fun driving it around..clocked about 270km since sat afternoon since i got it (it's monday 6pm now), but the rims of the car is really ugly..so I'm thinking of changing it but I went to tempe tyres and I can't find a rim that I like.. I

f anyone has been to the sydney motor show in the past 2 weeks, I'm looking for a rim that is similar to the ones on the black (souped up by ralliart) Lancer Evo IX. It's very dark (gunmetal perhaps?) with a red line around the outer edge of the rim. It has like maybe 5 spokes (i know it's called spokes on bikes, not sure what's it called on car rims), 5 things that connect the centre of the wheel to the tyres...

I was wondering if anyone knows where to get such rims? I was thinking of 18" cuz i dun really wanna have too bumpy a ride.

Another q is where did you guys get insurance thru? I got it thru Just Cars and it's costing me 2500 with a excess of 1400. is this average?

Another q is that when I bought the car, the dealer told me that I won't get the rego papers for the skyline but will get like a paper saying that I bought the car. Is this correct and what would happen if I wanna sellthe car and I don't have the rego papers.

thanks for the replies that will follow.. Look forward to being a part of this community =)

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      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.

      Could it really happen......

      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.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      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...
