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.

    • Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?
    • My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.
    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
    • I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
    • Yeah - I mean, go the other way. Smaller range. Not larger.
