Dude first of all whats your location.Have you tried tempe tyres or ozzy tyres.

And i think i've seen one of those rims at bob jane t mart.

I'm in Canberra, but I go down to Sydney every month or so, so my options are pretty much canberra or sydney stores.

thanks for those two stores ( dunno why i didnt think of them myself, there is an ozzy tyre's near me actually...)

but another stupid question, can you put 19" wheels on skylines, or are they to heavy? if you can does it look good? or they look two big for the car.

thanks

If you got a 33 they look good but ride will be a bit rough.

I would stick with 18"s.

that makes sense, 18" it is then. So what do you think of what I'm doing. Gonna be getting a black paint job on the r33, then couple it with some gold rims, sound good? or do I have crapp taste :D

Try to get Jap wheels. Don't go for those 7" wide rims. If you want gold, you can get some Rays Engineering GTC's or even Work P1's for example.

Depending what you're planning to do with your car, try to get 18's. 17's look a bit small on the 33's in my opinion.

umm no offense but crap taste in wheels :no: If you're willing to spend on a nice paint job...budget for around 2.5k for nice set of 2nd hand jap wheels. Gold GTCs ftw! and stick with 18s too.

Is this the GTC everyone loves so much? why spend so much on wheels from jap, when there are wheels from Aus half the price and look pretty decent to...

Besides from quality whats so special about the jap wheels, its not like the wheels from Aus are going to fall apart after 6 months is it?

and thanks for all the help so far,

Why?

Because of quality, look and exclusivity.

Also, wheels from Australia are not actually from Australia but rather China/Taiwan/Phillipines where there is little or no quality/safety standards when making wheels.

There have been cases of these wheels falling apart during hard driving!

Also these wheels just copy the Japanese designs. Which would you rather have? The real deal or the wannabe?

    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
