Hey guys. Went into my local Bob Jane today and got some prices on 18's and 19's

They are RJR Tremors (about the closet to the style im imagining that ive found so far, 5 spoke, bit of dish) not 100% sure of their quality and i relise they wont be up there with what Japan offers.

These are the prices ive been given, your comments would be most welcome

Rims

18" * 8 Hyper Black $247 ea

19" * 8 " " " " $347 ea

Tyres

to suit 18" 235/40*18 $179

to suit 19" 245/35*19 $249 (the tyre prices are for their budget tyres)

I guess the main Questions are. Is the look of the 19's worth the reduction of ride quality over 18's, and is the look of the 19's worth the cost over the 18's????

And Mostly. Are these prices a Rip and i should shoot through and look elsewhere (I reckon i can do better for tyres through a mate. but I am more interested in your thoughts of the rims more so then the tyres

I also havent tryed negotiating price either. so there may be room for this to move.

I'm in the same situation, about to buy my first set of rims and was thinking bigger was better, but then you're always paying more for tires... im undecided what way to go.

I guess its a personal decision, if ya happy with 18"s, go with those, or if you want something a bit more special, go 19. I'm expecting 18's will be a bit more harsh riding than my current 17's.

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.

      If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
