awesome post cara.

andrew, i still think these would look f**kin baller on the new ride.

im in two minds

one i really like the black rims with black paint and a nice offset + rim size

on the other hand, black is the color that goes best with chromed rims... dont think chromies look anywhere near as good on other cars (they look shit on white for example)

and those rims there are quite gangsta

-D

yeah Dave those wheels would nearly go on my car - the fronts are perfect, but the rears would stick out 45mm wider than stock and sit 31mm closer to my struts, which may foul. Maybe we can head down to JIS with a jack and try them on when I get it? Might fit - and I can roll the rear guards with Luke's mate's roller if need be. not sure if they will let me try them on though.

Pity I am in love with CE28Ns .... and yes bronze ones would look hot on my car Talbo .... but I am kinda thinking the chrome/black ones as they are a bit different. Still undecided.

Stay with the CE28N's!!!

they'll let you try em on no worries at all andrew.

i stuffed em around for a good 30 minutes finding a hub, rotor, and caliper to check if my meshies would clear, and they didnt have a problem with it. as for rolling, yeah, stretched tyres, and a solid 'paper roll' should see you grinning.

yeah I am not a fan of chromies either Ben, but as Dave has said previously .... I am buying a black VIP style car, so dished chrome rims are the shizz .... especially in a super mexican offset like those VKSFs .... I might just give in to his inane rantings yet :)

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh what to do .... what to do .... and I don't even officially own the car for another 10 days :)

But the Ebay fairy has been bringing nice carbon fibre and other bits for her .... I am pretty excited with some of the gear I have already acquired :)

a set of ssr viennas in 18x8.5 all round (with super low offset outback for mega dish) would be huge amounts of win. but youd need to be fair low to properly pull it off.

whatve you got so far? pm me if you like.

Much better

yeah, the silver on black looks dope

all u need is a hydraulic kit so u can hit switches n sit sideways, get more bounce to tha ounce yo

(sorry ive been watching breaking bad)

and then u can get hydraulic boot installs so u can pop trunk, houston style.... and listen to your music chopped and screwed

and sip codeine and promethezine cough syrup heh

Too bad the bass just munts up handicams - that was Paul Wall

-D

LOL Andrew, if Dave didn't fag out on us we could've carried 1 each on the plane and drive back on them!!!!!!!!!!

pete,

if you wanna cover the cost of 2 missed weekends (the best paying shifts of the week) so that i can come along on this awesome road trip (which i was embarking on straight after a 10 hour shift) i would be more than happy to do so.

much love,

dave.

haha true Pete .... I will be taking a couple of items with me on the plane to fit for the drive back :)

Dave I will post some photos of bits shortly.

So guys, I have done a VERY dodgy photochop of the chrome/black CE28Ns onto my car .... forgive the aspect of the wheels - I don't have a photo of them laying perfectly flat, so they look a bit phucked in my photochop - but it gives you the idea. I specifically like them since the car has a fair bit of chrome on it (and I will be taking off the black window guards so it will look even more chrome) - so they tie in nicely with the black/polished combo imho. Also, the car will be dropped just over 1" all round, so will fill the guards a bit better.

I am leaving this picture up for 2 minutes - so those who see it, enjoy and please keep the secret until I get my car. Those who don't - you snooze, you lose :) I will be taking the pic down in 2 minutes. Anyone found not keeping the secret will be dealt with by me accordingly.

    • Have you done the Ignition Sync Wizard in the AEM software?
    • Find out what RPM it was idling at with the IACV unplugged. It's very weird that the rpm didn't change at all, and then it stalled. When it stalls is it nearly like a switch off, like you've turned the engine off? Or is it more stutters and sputters and coughs to death over a few seconds? Or does the RPM just slowly keep going down and down? Have you done a test of trying to start it with the AFM unplugged? Does it still die?     If you Follow Josh's advice on using Nistune to check the voltages (which is a perfect method!) if you see anything out of wack voltage wise, THEN get the multimeter out and read the voltage directly at the sensor. If the two vary, then you're now looking for a wiring issue vs a sensor issue. So be aware, what the ECU sees, may not be what the sensor is actually saying too...
    • You very likely need to get it on a dyno and tune it. My assumption is, you've got an RB25DET tune in it, which has a different manifold, different injectors, and different cams as a minimum. What O2 sensor are you running?   When you say it runs extremely rich from idle all the way to redline, is this just free revving it you see that?
    • 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.
