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!

    • Hi, i’m making a rb25det coil loom for Vag short coil. Can anybody tell me which Ecu signal wire belong to coil number 1 and 2,3,4,5,6? The connecting switch in above pic is 8 wire i think white is for +12v and black for earth.
    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
