Legal i think is 1" up and 1" wider.

So stock is 16.6.5"

Legal Max would be 17x7.5"

Feel free to correct me if im wrong.

haha puts me in a bit of trouble. i thought it was 2" and 2"? anyone know for sure? i have been pulled over and cops said to me that I got pretty wide tyres on there but did not say about them being illegal.

I believe the 1" out is referring to "track", you cannot change the TRACK of your vehicle more than 25mm either side. That said, if you want to go 2" wider you would need to get the correct offset so the TRACK doesn't change by more than 1" and hope you can clear it on the inside :D

i think that you'll find that bubba is right

that, and the tyres cant actually protrude past the base print of the vehicle

so all my mates with those big muddies on their 4bees are actually illegal...

it used to be up to 7.5" in width, unless larger was a factory option.

and 2" increase in diameter as long as the rolling diameter didnt change.

now it is 1.3x the largest factory optioned rim width, providing the track doesnt increase by more than 25mm, and that it doesnt foul any part of the car.

and diameter can be anything that will allow for the same size rolling diameter.

also staggered sizes is still a big no-no, unless it came standard, but none of us drive porsches, so it doesnt matter!

ps. DPI is your friend, if in doubt ask them, rather than get 4574987504579437543750435 answers off the forums. :huh:

It is on a percentage ruling now from VSB 14 - National Code of Practice for Light Vehicle Construction and Modification (NCOP) with the link to DPI below, with V35's and 19's being an option you can go so big now and stay legal.

I like the sound of that :whistling:

My Chaser has staggered sizes standard, as does Supras etc, so I can have (according to 1.3x) up to 9.5 wide, which is nice, since I have 9.5"s on the rear, had wondered on the legalitys of it :)

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By Haggerty · Posted

      I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.

      I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.

      Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...

      Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
