I haven't Chris sorry!

Now, what about this? Yes, I know it's a 4 door, but does anyone know what brand these rear flares are?

get em off jap yahoo etc for about $200 they are mostly all the same modelled off 260z ones as fair as i know.. justjap etc just buy them in and sell em for $350 or so

Thoughts lads? The dollar being strong gets these delivered at under $2k in 18 x 10.5. Weighing 8.93kg each.

They really are cheap ey! I've been thinking of them. Can almost buy 2 sets for the cost of TE's!

That looks nice :) lol

Thanks Damo..... I think you should tell Benny to jam it for a bit and come spend a month up here.... free board, food, and piss :rofl:

yep i like that idea. ive never been that far north. i should have come up for toolies.

i just have to finish my car first. see you in a few months.

on the guard front "bolt on" flairs wont do the job by its self. most of the drift buys hack away all the guard under the flair or wide body guard. i have a few differnt sets of flairs in the shed waiting to go on. one set is a S13 set and they dont fit all that nice. i actualy got some flairs off an early celica supra. but thers a heap of work to get them rigth to.

if you find someone with the right skils a propper metal flaired guard will be just as good as any bolt on flair and more practical.

Do it Ben! RPF1 is one of my Fav wheels!

i likeis too. its funny as they have been around for a few years but have only just become "fashionable" i think it just takes one persons with the right car and the right size rim to really set a wheel off.

the TE37 has been around for years and then one day they were the best rim you could get. then the work XD9. but i think that the pan speed does wonders advertising the volk CE28Ns. if that car never came out wearing them than i dont think people wuld like them at all. i think the current style is dish but with a modern spoke designe where as a few years back it was the tapered spoke of the te37s and lmgt4s that rained supreme.

I'm with you there Dane, both are timeless.

I priced the Forged Advans that are on Berry's thing.... hmmm, too rich for me at around $1k per corner.

Anyone know where to buy Volk the cheapest? TE37 is still the stongest wheel available, their later stuff pales next to them.

I'd really like a forged wheel as Giant tells me I'm "hard on the gear"..... but not if they're twice or thrice the price!

And sorry I've kinda taken over the thread on this subject.... I don't think it warrants a thread of its own :happy:

Yahoo auctions would be your best bet for TE's Ben. You should be able to pick some up second hand in good condition, but would still be more than the Enkei's me thinks.

If not, then perhaps some NT03's??

You are Hard on the gear.. Admit it!

If its pure cosmetics then its up to the individual. But if you want the best track rims then sadly its TE37, GT4 or in 17" TC05s. They are forged, light, durable, and have the biggest internal clearances for brake setups and lower temperatures in operation. CE28s dont clear brakes as well, ditto the Enkei range of wheels. It sux that all the Work rims are pretty much heavy cast jobbies with sh1thouse brake clearance.

I have never tried the NT03, so would be interesting. I would love a set but they are carnts to clean.

So, as much as i dont rate TE37s, since Marlin and Bel180, Baron have MY TC05s, which in 17s actually clear some 355mm brake setups....well its what I am running

I can hand them back to ya mate if you really want them?

And Timmy, do you really think so? I thought when we used to chat in the car you said I was really smooth? Or were you referring to something else? Maybe my chest? Or with the laaaaadiies?

    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
    • Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣
    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
