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:

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By Duncan · Posted

      Depending on how long the car sat it is very possible for injectors to be stuck open or closed, I'd get them cleaned and flow tested. Other than that, obviously when the loom changes and the car doesn't start any more....the loom is suspect so some tracing / comparing may be required

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi

      Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom

      I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off.
