Not to sure about s/h Jap rims.

make sure you get it checked out before you buy them.

it all depends on what you want really. if I were you, try to keep the mags as light as possible.

most shiny wheels look good for show only.

contact Beaurepaires Mellville. they have a good range.

if you wait for a while, ask for Yang. (his on holiday at the moment) he will be a great assistant.

yeh dude b carefull with cheap ass ozzy rims,,one off my 18`s has a very annoying ribration at about 40 k`s,took me ages to figure the problem was actually the rim,!!and they are brand new to,,

My mate had the same problem . . get to a certain speed and the car would virbate, took him ages to work out what it was. . . ended up being his new rims

is this diamater or width? because i thought the 350Z comes factory with different width tyres between the front n back? :)

Speak to Brad at West Coast Wheels down in Mandurah. He is a good guy and is always prepared to do a good deal!

Tell him Brad from WA Suspension sent you :D

if i go into mandurah soon i might just do that

is this diamater or width? because i thought the 350Z comes factory with different width tyres between the front n back? :D

if the tyre placard states different size tyres then it is ok but if it states all 4 the same size they have to stay the same legally

eg supra with 17 x 8 front 17 x 9 rear is ok because rears on tyre placard are are 1 inch wider than fronts

same style staggered fitment on a gtr is illegal because tyre placard has same size for front and rear eg 16 x 8 all round

    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
