Hey all,

Just thought I'd share a few photos of my cars new rims. I wanted some cheap rims to last me for a few months until I sell the car, so when I found these for $800 of this forum, I was happy to have them. I need to lower the car now, so that'll be the next thing, but let me know what you think. I'm going to get them powder coated soon, so I'm open for suggetions as to colours.

they look good mate, but only 4 stud? i only know of skylines to have 5 stud

Factory NA's came with 4 studs..

On its arse.. it needs it..

I like it white..

Gunmetle grey looks very good an silver cars too!..

Could take a risk and go bronze?.. that wouldnt be too bad..

Block goes with everything..

Yeh, I'm scared to go around corners, becaue the centre on gravity is like a 4WD!! And yes, I need to wash them, but I was so excited to get them that I just wanted 2 get them on.

Big thanks to Fei Sti Rex (Andrew) for finding them, AND going to get them for me! Thanx man, I owe you big time now!! And Chunda, thanks for doing the 5-stud conversion!! :laugh:

I'm not sure if I want to paint the rims now! It off-sets the car nicely. I was thinking metalic gun metal grey. Something dark, but not black. I'll do some photoshopping and see how me go.

Next up is the new exhaust and cat, then lower it. Maybe a body kit and fibreglass bonnet? Dunno yet. Damn Andrew!! You have put too many ideas into my head!!

It needs to be dumped on its arse, the 4WD height probs doesnt help. It does look small, but i think when its dumped it will look bigger. Any ideas on cheap kits? I was thinking Trust front bar, with VIVA Type 3 side skirts and rear bar.

    • If you take the top half of the intake off you can unbolt the flap off the shaft and leave the shaft in there blocking the hole. Then you can remove the little vacuum canister off from under the manifold and get a spare vacuum line to run to the ECU. I can take some photos of it later. Probably best to get the vacuum source to the ECU sorted first though. Mine all worked mint with the base map from the GTT an I've pretty much let the closed loop sort the fueling and took 1 degree out of the whole timing map.
    • This IS something you also have to configure in Haltech (or at least I did in the past when going from onboard-to-ECU map sensor and an external MAP sensor in haltech land).
    • I'm hoping it's something as simple as the ECU is looking for an external MAP sensor, but he is trying to use the onboard MAP sensor.
    • You won't need to do that if your happy to learn to tune it yourself. You 100% do not need to do that. It is not part of the learning process. It's not like driving on track and 'finding the limit by stepping over the limit'. You should not ever accidently blow up an engine and you should have setup the ECU's engine protection to save you from yourself while you are learning anyway. Plenty of us have tuned their own cars, myself included. We still come here for advice/guidance/new ideas etc.  What have you been doing so far to learn how to tune?
    • Put the ECU's MAP line in your mouth. Blow as hard as you can. You should be able to see about 10 kPa, maybe 15 kPa positive pressure. Suck on it. You should be able to generate a decent vacuum to about the same level also. Note that this is only ~2 psi either way. If the MAP is reading -5 psi all the time, ignition on, engine running or not, driving around or not, then it is severely f**ked. Also, you SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING IT WITHOUT A LOAD REFERENCE. You will break the engine. Badly.
