Ok now have i missed something....?

Where was i when it was decided that rims and tyres that stick way out side the gaurd was cool and a good thing???

Apart from the obvious, massive rubbing over bumps, defectable etc etc it looks stupid. (thats just in my opionion of course)

Who started this trend and why would you do it for!

what do you guys and girls think??

end rant! :devil:

I don't see anything wrong with it. With the Stagea above, I wouldn't want anything more 'sunkin' in.

For me, I want the wheels to be even with the guards, anything less is :devil: in my opinion.

i agree even with the gaurds, wider the better! but not to the point they move outside of the gaurd!

I don't mind the wheels going outside of the guards on some cars. On skylines, I prefer the wheels to be flush with the rolled guards and on silvias I like the wheels sticking out at least an inch from the standard guards, but then I would flare them out.

It really depends on what car it is.

If it sticks out, it needs flares to make it even again.

Yeah, you need flaring done if the wheels are purposely made to stick out. If you're talking about not flaring and just making the wheels stick out 2", I find that stupid as well.

agreed the stagea up top looks ghey cause stagea's are very slab sided.. to get away with the look on one of those you would need to massage the gaurds out

i think the wheels sitting slightly out of the gaurds looks f**kING GOOD, but to pull it off you need stretched tyres to keep the treads under the gaurd itself, and maybe some slight flaring too

It gives the car a wider, meaner, tougher stance IMO....also means you can have wider wheels :domokun:

how does having wider wheels help when they have smaller tyres anyway?

    • Depending on how long the car sat it is very possible for injectors to be stuck open or closed, I'd get them cleaned and flow tested. Other than that, obviously when the loom changes and the car doesn't start any more....the loom is suspect so some tracing / comparing may be required
    • Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi 
    • Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom
    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off.
