hey Cara,

should go 18x9 on the front as 18x8 will sit inside the guard heaps. :(

You mean 19x9?? He's right how come they come 19x8 front and 19x10 rear, such a big difference between the front and rear!! And also you should stretch some 235 or 245 on the rears in stead of 275!! All in all yes the wheels will be a nice look!!

yeah my bad, relised after i wrote it.

even could go a lower offset to get more dish.

hahaha

nah i really want 275's on the back lol i just loove the fat tyre look hehehehe

not sure why they are 19x8 on the front and 19x 10 thats just the way they have done them i guess........ might go 245's on the front perhaps?

Nah don't go 245s on the front, I have 8.5 front with 235 and there is no stretch what so ever, I'd be sticking with a 235 if i were you, or you might get inner guard or outer guard scrubbing!!

Darren will you be traveling to any of the VIC state series races this year??

Yeh well after talking with Brad in the Saloon Car we were hoping NOT to run the National Series and wanting to win the SA and VIC state Champs in the one year, so hopefully i'll be going for all rounds but not sure as yet. And as for Strat and the IP car, I think we were supposed to do the next Sandown meeting with the Boostworx boys, but our car is under going some 33 brake upgrades, so don't think we will make that one, but hoping to do a Sandown meeting and possibly a PI meeting!!

I'm assuming your going over for most??

Hopefully living there soon, got an interview this week end over there. I should be at all the Vic rounds with Intermarque. First round in March should have a full capacity grid

Yeh thats the one i might be going over to, I'm in Sydney on the Wed-Fri beforehand, BUT Brad sold his AU to the VIC state champ for cash he couldn't refuse, and he baught his old EA off him before also, So were hoping to borrow the EA for shits and giggles and to get some points........ He still hasn't dropped off the AU so we might have to drive over Friday night after Syd!! All the Boostworx boys will be there i think, so keep your eye out for them and Tony and his 808 has the lap record there!!

Nice work on the interview and Good Luck!!

magnetic?

LOL, that would take some magnet LOL

The giveaway is the ring of bolts inside the rim (what could they be for if the wheel hasnt got a centre?)

The other hint is that the inside diameter is is smaller on the far side. The wheel looks magic from this ange but its easier to see whats happening if they show you the other side, its more like a giant bearing with a tyer on the outside.

how the hell does that bike work with no hub? im just stupid i guess and cant work it out :banana:

hit the link at the top of my post in the wasteland, there is a whole gallery in there.

here are a couple more pics of it

    • Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that 
    • Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

If you would like to attend or bring others along please put your name down and a +1 as numbers will be needed prior! This is NOT a race and we will all be adhering to all road rules. If this is what you want please come to one of our many track days. This is an official SAU:NSW event and will be run under a CAMS permit.

    • What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
    • While I was waiting for the new parts to come in for the charge pipe and radiator I decided to do some turbo modification. The drive pressure (exhaust backpressure) was a lot higher that I thought it should be. For 32lbs of boost drive was 55lbs. The turbine housing is a 1.10AR and my turbo builder has suggested to go to a 1.25AR. To test if a larger AR would do anything to reduce drive pressure AND not spend any money I decided to hog out the divider in my current housing. I removed it from the inlet and the whole way through the housing.  After reassembly and testing it doesn't look like this modification did anything for reducing drive pressure or requiring more fuel (making more power). Oh well, it was worth a shot. We'll get some data at the track if it makes it past the 60ft. I also machined a $7 shift knob off Amazon to fit my Stillway shifter since I didn't like the Stillway shift knob. Next on the list was the radiator replacement and fabrication of a new intercooler tube that had no silicon coupler. No pictures of this - I was short on time each night after work to get this done and didn't stop to take pictures.  Next was to get the clutch disks out and replaced. Previously when installing the dogbox I had ordered a set of the same sintered iron disks I had been running because I switched to the 26-spline input shaft. I thought it was odd that they didn't have any markings or brand name on them like all my old disks had but installed them anyway. At the track I could not get the clutch to lock up using my normal strategies. After two track nights I reached out to the clutch manufacturer and ask their thoughts. They said they had to switch the material out because they were having trouble getting the original material and that this new material would not take to being slipped very well.  So out with the first set of 26-spline disks and in with the correct material 26-spline disks. While I had the trans out I added an inspection/service hole. I've wanted one of these for a while. Now I can have a look at things and change the front cover shimming when needed (clutch wear). I hustled and got the clutch change done in a few hours on a Saturday. Hopped in the car and drove home. On the way home I did a 1-3 pull. When shifting from 2nd to 3rd the core plug in the back of the cylinder head popped out and dumped all the coolant. Thankfully I was only 30 seconds from home and coasted it there. Datalog showed nothing unusual and 2.5psi of coolant pressure. That plug has been in there since 1992 but I guess it worked its way out. Pulled the trans AGAIN and replaced the plug, JB welded it in, and made a brace. Also deleted the head drain I had added in during the bearing issue fiasco.  I am currently changing my boost control plumbing to make it cleaner. After that is done I'll make another attempt at getting past the 60.
