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.....

    • What are we supposed to be seeing in the photo of the steering angle sensor? The outer housing doesn't turn, right? All the action is on the inside. The real test here is whether or not your car has had the steering put back together by a butcher. When the steering is centred (and we're not caring about the wheel too much here, we're talking about the front wheels, parallel, facing front) then you should have an absolutely even number of turns from centre to left lock and centre to right lock. If there is any difference at all then perhaps the thing has been put back together wrongly, either the steering wheel put on one spline (or more!) off, and the alignment bodged to straighteb the wheel, or the opposite where something silly was done underneath and the wheel put back on crooked to compensate. Nut there isn't actually much evidence that you have such a problem anyway. It is something you can easily measure and test for to find out though. My money is still on the HICAS CU not driving the PS solenoid with the proper PWM signal required to lighten the load at lower speed. If it were me, I would be putting either a multimeter or oscilloscope onto the solenoid terminals and taking it for a drive, looking for the voltage to change. The PWM signal is 0v, 12V, 0V, 12v with ...obviously...modulated pulse width. You should see that as an average voltage somewhere between 0V and 12V, and it should vary with speed. An handheld oscilloscope would be the better tool for this, because they are definitely good enough but there's no telling if any cheap shit multimeter that people have lying around are good enough. You can also directly interfere with the solenoid. If you wire up a little voltage divider with variable resistor on it, and hook the PS solenoid direct to 12V through that, you can manually adjust the voltage to the solenoid and you should be able to make it go ligheter and heavier. If you cannot, then the problem is either the solenoid itself dead, or your description of the steering being "tight" (which I have just been assuming you mean "heavy") could be that you have a mechanical problem in the steering and there is heaps of resistance to movement.
    • Little update  I have shimmed the solenoid on the rack today following Keep it Reets video on YouTube. However my steering is still tight. I have this showing on Nisscan, my steering angle sensor was the closest to 0 degrees (I could get it to 0 degrees by small little tweaks, but the angle was way off centre? I can't figure this out for the life of me. I get no faults through Nisscan. 
    • The BES920 is like the Toyota Camrys of coffee machines. E61 group head is cool, however the time requirements for home use makes it less desirable. The Toyota Camry coffee machine runs twin boilers and also PID temp control, some say it produces coffees as good as an E61 group head machine.
    • And yes with a full tank it will hit limiter free revving or driving 6B6CDF6E-4094-426D-A9CB-6C553475FE36.mp4
    • One way of putting the fuel surge idea to rest, is that even when in neutral/clutch in or free revving it still has the same issue, it can’t even get to limiter (7800) so to me that says it can’t be g force, I’m not trying to argue I just want to find the f&$king issue 😡
