I ordered these wheels from the guys at JAX Tyre Centre at Southport, they are good blokes but they had a major problem getting them from the supplier, for 3 days I was stuffed around and fed BS about " Their coming from Sydney" or "They are on the truck from Brisbane", then back to "The pallet hasn't arrived from Sydney" WTF ? :ninja:

I had enough and went back to JAX and got my cash back, they had the dirts as much as me about it and they did everything they could to get me sorted out but no luck.

Can anyone suggest where I could go for wheels on the Gold Coast or up in Briz, thx

which should still be stick'ed but isn't anymore

John John John...

There is a reason it is not stickied anymore... Ill explain on Sunday as to why...

In the mean time, just post your thread and leave out the narky little comments... There is reasoning in my madness...

  • 2 weeks later...

More drama,

Ordered in these from different wheel shop

Thursday - " Will have them tomorrow "

Friday - " Sorry mate they are coming from S.A. come see us Tuesday

Tuesday - " Wheels don't fit on car wrong size " 32 OS need 40 OS come see us tomorrow.

FFS this is getting to be a joke, it's been three weeks now, all I want is a set of f*&%king wheels for my car !

they are dumb asses, if +32 hit the calipers, +40 won't be any better as +40 will move the wheel inwards. Brake clearance is not dependent on offset but rather the design of the spokes whether they have high disk clearance...

Yes the original wheels have are +40 but the spokes were obviously made to clear the brakes...I hope they took this into consideration otherwise we'll definately hear about it ;)

So which Tyre companies stuffed you around?? Going shopping soon so I need to know!!

Not so much the tyre shops but their wheel suppliers. The boys at both JAX and Dunlop Tyre Centre were awesome they broke their necks to get wheels for me, they just get fed bullshit from the wheel suppliers.

I finally got my rims thru the boys at Dunlop down here at Burleigh Heads, they got a shitload of rims down from Brisbane to fit against my car and came good. Good price too, glad it's all over. :laugh:

ive used Tyre Solutions at Labrador along brisbane road for a few cars of mine and hes allways come through with me and if he aint got them on the shelf hell try his best to get them for u or direct u to someone who can get them.... ask for a guy called Nima.....

    • Input shaft bearing. They all do it. There is always rollover noise in Nissan boxes - particularly the big box. Don't worry about it unless it gets really growly.
    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
