nice choice theyre are the exact rims im saving for, to put on the exact same car but in white, are they 17" or 18", im going for 18s i think.

if you dont mind me asking what did you pay for them, rrp is $2000 with rubber from tempe in syd

looks nice, may wanna drop the suspension next, but im a fan

This is a pick of them on my mates series 1 which is white, they looked good on that too.

Yeah I got them for $2100 but thats with the finance recovery cost added on top which is around 12%.

They are 18 x 8.5 with 235's on the front and 265's on the rear. Youll need to be careful though because on both my mates S1 and my S2 the front rubs on the control arm at full lock. They couldnt get the right combination of spacers either. So in the end they added a 3mm spacer and grinded about 3mm out of the control arm where is was rubbing. Very small amount grinded, and now they are fine. Grip has improved alot.

And yeah, please do take the photo and lower it, would love to see it.

leaving 1-2cm between the wheel well? and the tyres makes the car look best......I personally don't understand this obsession with "dumping it on its ass" look that so many people go for. Makes people looks such try hards.

yeah lowering it doesn't look that much better, I'd get some cool sideskirts that'll make the car look lower without you having to drive 2km/hr over speed bumps. The AH and JU ones from CARMATE looks pretty nice

Yeah, maybe thats the way to go. I plan on changing the suspension down the track, so that will probably have an effect to begin with, and ill go from there.

Nice rims dude..

But i still like your mesh time types rims (in your sig)

But as somebody already said it needs more lowering. You dont fully have to dump it and go 2kms an hour over speed humps..

Right height and it will look the goods..

Add your pics to this thread if you can:

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      A few suggestions: Do you have the option of retarding your exhaust cam gear to bring the power band over to the left? VCT would be turned off after you make peak torque, you see the power/torque will decay faster with it left on all the way to the limiter Once VCT is turned off, you'll find the motor will take a bit more timing being ramped in Send its mum, more boost! Of course, depends on your exhaust pressure.

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      I was back on the dyno again yesterday after completely revamping my methanol injection system. I was making 440kw at 19psi. Great, this is more then I was making last summer with my old meth system at that pressure, and I figured it would be smooth sailing up to 30+psi. We continued increasing from there and by 25psi, I had only hit 455kw. Dyno sadly lost utility power at this point and I left. We seemed to be on course to hit the same power wall as last summer (477kw@27psi). This is a built RB25 S1 stroked to a 2.8. Built and ported head with Kelford 272/262 cams. Precision 6466 Turbo. Tuner last year believed the power wall is a mix of RPM limitations (Hydro lifters/Limit set at 7600RPM) and fueling. With my new meth system, we're seeing zero knock now but it still won't go up.  What else can I do at this point? Here's my train of thought.  - It's clear from the dyno graph that I would easily make power to 8500+RPM but I'm limited to 7600RPM. I could risk increasing my limiter, but hydro lifters have me worried. What are my options here besides going NEO head or solid lifter conversion? I'm rocking a 1.05AR turbine on my 6466. Would dropping down to a .84 help shift that power down in anyway? - We're only seeing roughly a 30kw difference at the top end with VCT on or off. Is this normal? I want to confirm VCT is working properly. - Should I look into other cam options?  - Should I just keep increasing boost and see if she wakes up later on? I would expect to hit 600rwkw around 35psi with my 6466.

      iPad gauge cluster

      First thought is to use a ram mount (to hold the ipad) + windscreen suction mount. The arms on the ram mount can be as long as you like, should be able to position the ipad pretty well with that setup.
