LOL once a poser always a poser hey matty :laugh:

Good to catch up again

for sure mate

and yeah, thats true...........wasnt quite game enough to hit rundle or hindley on the way thru, but squeezed in a bay lap.....

perfect weather to as well, lotsa cars so a bit of stop start. when i got a bit of an opening to giv it a lil bit, it'd built enough fuel up to giv a nice pop (which was rather loud ricochetting off the buildings LOL)

:glare:

Would i be better off getting 17x9 front 17x9.5 rear (need to roll the guards though at the back ?) if i dont want to use spacers ? How would that fit do you know...

The width is one thing BUT offset is another, If Matty has had to use spacers then i would assume you will need to also!!

Matty did have the 9.5's on the rear which sat very similar. I think he changed them to 9s because he wanted to go drifting more often, he got 2 pairs of 9s as another pair of 9.5's weren't available, and he can put slightly skinnier tyres on the 9's (easier to spin up?)

Anyway, im sure he'll anser soon :P

Were spacers used when he had the 9.5's on the back ?

8s on front yeah, not 9s LOL. And thats rite, never ran a spacer on the rear with the 9.5s

9.5s are +18 (gtr offset)

9s are +35 (s13, r32 etc)

currently running a 25mm bolt on at rear, goin to put the 25mm up front tho, and get a 35mm for the rear to push them out more

ran 235s on 9.5s (was a bit hard with 155rwkw to spin 3rd), but now run 215s on 9s (and it spins easy as)

to put 9.5s on the rear of the 31, it required a bit of massaging of the guards

and scandyflick..........that was the plan all along. 2 red 31s.......one mild, one wild.....................

Hmm i really want the car to grip well. So what width would you recommend for mine ? (keep in mind i dont particularly like spacers...but i dont like my rims sitting inside the guards either :P)

how much power u going to be making? thats the question

id probably say try and get hold of some 9.5s for the rear

*edit: my idea just blew thru LOL

Edited by Matty 31
i thought you were getting ben's roh's?

plans always change with him

just spoke to him, he's managed to make them fit on the rear LOL.........and by the sounds of it (20lb hammer) he's got them to fit ............ when the rear coilovers hav no downward adjustment left in them its got to be low LOL

    • Who did you have do the installation? I actually know someone who is VERY familiar with the AVS gear. The main point of contact though would be your installer.   Where are you based in NZ?
    • Look, realistically, those are some fairly chunky connectors and wires so it is a reasonably fair bet that that loom was involved in the redirection of the fuel pump and/or ECU/ignition power for the immobiliser. It's also fair to be that the new immobiliser is essentially the same thing as the old one, and so it probably needs the same stuff done to make it do what it has to do. Given that you are talking about a car that no-one else here is familiar with (I mean your exact car) and an alarm that I've never heard of before and so probably not many others are familiar with, and that some wire monkey has been messing with it out of our sight, it seems reasonable that the wire monkey should be fixing this.
    • Wheel alignment immediately. Not "when I get around to it". And further to what Duncan said - you cannot just put camber arms on and shorten them. You will introduce bump steer far in excess of what the car had with stock arms. You need adjustable tension arms and they need to be shortened also. The simplest approach is to shorten them the same % as the stock ones. This will not be correct or optimal, but it will be better than any other guess. The correct way to set the lengths of both arms is to use a properly built/set up bump steer gauge and trial and error the adjustments until you hit the camber you need and want and have minimum bump steer in the range of motion that the wheel is expected to travel. And what Duncan said about toe is also very true. And you cannot change the camber arm without also affecting toe. So when you have adjustable arms on the back of a Skyline, the car either needs to go to a talented wheel aligner (not your local tyre shop dropout), or you need to be able to do this stuff yourself at home. Guess which approach I have taken? I have built my own gear for camber, toe and bump steer measurement and I do all this on the flattest bit of concrete I have, with some shims under the tyres on one side to level the car.
    • Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it. 
    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
