got a question for ya.....power is lost from the engine to the wheels because of gearbox, diff, etc.....what power is lost with the wheels? how much power will be lost having massive 19" 275 compared to stock 16" 205?

Corinne just told me about this last wknd at AS, so count me in. i was worried it was on a sunday as i wouldn't be able to make it but being a saturday i'm all for it. Fingers crossed for 200kw at the fronts!

Am I getting commission for this?

LOL!

the bigger wheels you have the more power you get. same with chrome. Thats why people go bigger and bigger wheels thse days....not becaues they look cool, only the cool people know they add at least 30kw for every size up. who needs bigger turbos when you can get the same power with 2" larger wheels

wrong...smaller diameter more power

But why is that? is it because of the rotation or something?! ie: rotates more because of the smaller diaameter?? I always thought, regardless of the size of the rim, the tyres will always fill it out to the same rim.. bigger the rim.. less the profile of tyres, and vice versa for smaller rims... ????

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
