Yeah trust me, I've been there before..fell in love with a set of wheels, spent many weeks searching on yahoo auctions for it, finally found it, took me more than 9 weeks to get it here..then found out it didn't clear calipers, tried slip on spacers..dodgy..had custom made bolt on spacers...made my wheels vibrate at high speeds...in the end gave up and sold the wheels and bought ones that fitted nicely...

My high speed vibration were fixed with a simple wheel alignment and balance. No more vibrations at all :)

I Had spacers on my R33 when I bought it, and the standard studs on it only did up a few turns.....not enough thread. I ended up getting engineerd longer studs for the front to make it safe. Also they shaved the Nissan off on the front brakes to make clearence........bloody fags!.....don't go to LA performance in VIC.

and only a year ago I bought a set of Volk GT-C's 18inchs for my line and the fit was perfect....the right offset.

filled the guards and looked heaps better too!

don't use the wrong offset wheels.

sorry to hi jack this thread i just got a set of 18 inch gmax rims on my line. they seem to fit but the only problem is that there is a tiny clearance between the front brakes and rim (gap is 1.5 to 2mm). should i be worried?

Not at all, if there is a gap theres a gap, if it does not scrape then u have no problem. The wheel stays a fixed distance so aslong as it has some clearance there is no problem...

Spacers are illegal. I don't like that idea personally. Get soneone to hop in car and have it roll past you while you stand on the side of the road. If you hear is scraping then you have an issue. Get someone to profile the word nissan down like 0.5mm to be safe if you want.

    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation. 
    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.
