I fitted a new set of rims to my car about a month or so back, Lenso D1R, in Hypersilver. They aren't Japanese brand name wheels, in fact I replaced a set of genuine Volk Rays with them, but they look better than the old VR rims - 18" vs. 17" - and are fairly light weight.

was gonna buy a set of d1r's in white for the s14, but when the works showed up with such tough offsets... sorta couldnt resist, lol.

It's all a matter of personal preference/taste, but most of those examples look like absolute poo to me! :happy: Not a fan of the VIP style wheel.

haha, vip isnt a style many people are into.

cool thing about andrews new ride is that any sort of wheel from xd9's to piaa's would look freakin awesome on it. id just be inclined to go the way of vip.

Nah, especially since I am not going to absolutely slam it (in fact am only droppping it an inch all round) VIP would be a waste - and yeah I am with Matt here - imho most of the VIP wheels look like ass.

Got pics of your new wheels Matt? Are you coming to poker at Burger's next Friday night?

Cool.

Gaaaaaaaaaaah I just realised that we are out of non-rotting bacon :happy:

Problem is, my car is out on North East Road getting some free advertising and the wife is out, so jumping on my tredley is the only option.

So, do I wait for Scandy to arrive to chauffer me to Woolies to get some bacon, or will my hunger outweigh my laziness and I jump on the bike (given I have already done 3km this morning when I dropped my car out to NE Rd). Feel the burn.

I am pretty hungry

If you're going to slam it I reckon spokes will look awesome... like:

Well I am starving - so I am going to head to the kitchen to cook up a double decker 2 egg and tons of bacon plus bbq sauce sanga for lunch .... mmmmmmmm

heh great minds. i had one of those a couple hours ago, but i also had fried mushroom in butter, fresh parsley and a slice of cheese to top it off >:happy:

and runny yolk ftw

-D

Give me a couple of hours mate, got a few jobs out in the backyard to do - mixed in with watching Port try to keep their finals hopes alive - then I'll take some pic's out in the sun... how good is it to see the sun again!?

Nice choice on the new car too dude.

Yeah I'll be there mate. Had an impromptu game at my house on Fri night actually, 7 of our regular crew rocked up, Trent came along too. Finished $15 up.

Can't argue with that logic mate. I could have lived with some Work rims no worries at all. I had the option to go for brand name wheels and cheaper average rubber, or average wheels and good rubber, the latter option suited me best. $1550 in rubber and about $1400 odd for the rims, anodised wheel nuts, and freight.

The XD9 is a nice looking wheel, and even better yet, they are nice and light. Ugly wheels are one thing, but ugly heavy wheels are just poo fullstop. Mind you, some of the quality VIP style wheels are probably lighter than the cheap crap 'race' wheels.

do you have pics of them on 32? interested to see how much the back rims hang out the guards.

Same size wheels just the D1R's.

I was going to lower it 20mm at the rear and about the same on the front and that would of just tucked them in. But with a bit of suspension and guard work they'll fit easssssssssssssy

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
