with 19 you dont have to roll the guard unless you have super massive low lol

i have lowered mine and 20 went in but need to roll the guard for safer and durable for tyres

so went down to 19 and it fits perfect. i have 19 start corp black rims with chrome surround. dont have idea about the name but.. and i have R34gtt

but imo after experince some low profile tyres on big rim and lowered vehicle... they looks sexy but everytime driving... it hearts your feeling when you hitting big hump or road hazard that hard to see or couldnt see while you changing lane.. i always try to dodge them but... cant dodgy every single road hazard..

18with very big massive dishes will do~ 19 is bit.. hard to maintain..

i think you have the starcorp kaotik's..

im after some new wheels soon too. looking at some 57f pro's.. loooove them! r34 gtr rims are a cheap alternative also. can be had for around 2k + depending on condition and tyres. wrxhoon has some awesome ones with toyo tyres for just under 3k i think. but they are immaculate! good luck with your choice mate.

Are 2nd hand jap import wheels an option to you? a set of rims, and tyres of your choice can become a cheap package, you may even need to spend a lil time on them polishing and painting, but this also gives you the oppotunity to own something no one else has and then customise colour to suit you....just a thought. I am looking around at Jap wreckers atm looking for the same thing.

P.S: if anyone knows of a good jap import wrecker/importer selling 2nd hand rims in SA or VIC please post up! Cheers!

    • Hello, sorry for being late to join the discussion, but my clock just died on me.   Ive tried to look at Michaels digital clock repair.docx and it doesnt work maybe the file has expired.   Please let me know if you can re upload it or take some youtube videos to show us how to get the clock installed? thanks
    • I thought that might be the case, thats what I'll start saving for. Thanks for the info 
    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
    • My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
