hello there,

woke up to go to work this morning found that my car was pulling to the left, checked it and my front left is flat :cheers:

struggled to the servo to pump it up, but it would not inflate.

question is does anyone here have a spare r33 wheel/tyre or similar that i can buy/borrow to either replace it or so i can get down to a tyre shop??

i'll use the emergency tyre if i have to. but if i can buy another wheel with rubber that would be great :)

can anyone help me out?

Cheers

Steve

If you mean a spare tyre in general I'll help you out. Although Im 4 stud, not much help if you need 5?

Not sure what you mean by you using the emergency tyre, but if Ive got what you need youre welcome to borrow it... Gee that came out a little too forward didnt it :)

Edited to say derr, I should read all the posts before I reply LOL Didnt realise you had it sorted !!

by spare tyre i mean the space saver/emergency tyre (the skinny little one) i was just trying to avoid driving anywhere with it

thanks for the offer mate but being turbo i need a 5 stud

this thread was just a wild stab in the dark to see if anyone had a regular r33 rim with rubber fitted that i could buy as a straight swap without having to f**k around and so i could get to work.

looks like im just going to take the day off and get this one repaired or replace the tyre

No worries, yeah most people are turbo - Im always the odd one out LOL

I had the same problem a fortnight ago. I had to order tyres in and wait which was a pain, so I hope you can get back on the road today!

damn, i hope i dont have to order them in :rofl:

mario kart on the wii is definatly better than work

Yep Chris, I got it fixed, thanks! Ended up getting both back tyres replaced at Bridgestone. They had to order them but I got the $260 ones, not the Runflats that were on it. Gonna replace the front ones asap too I think.

I kept the wheel you bought, and took the 5 stud back to the dealer and made them buy it back for what the other one cost LOL. While I was there I complained about the rego ending in May, and not July like they said, so I came out with a $200 cheque, so no complaints :down:

good to see you got a bit of payback on the 'dud' spare. had the option as you know for the $260 tyres but as you know they had to be ordered. still puzzles me why they put $480 tyres on that car in the first place.

It still puzzles me too :) Considering Runflats are meant to be on cars with the pressure monitoring system so you actually *know* when its flat... I have my suspicions about those wheels anyway. I dont think the car was traded with them on it... The dealer did say the tyre place down the road from them supplied the tyres for RW, but I think they provided the alloys too so the car would look better to sell. They probably came off a car that those tyres were intended for :(

Your guy actually had an awesome price at $480 though, Bridgestone wanted $700 !!

    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated. Rb25det s1 walbro255 fuel pump nismo fpr holset hx35 turbo fmic 3" exhaust freddy intake manifold q45tb q45 maf   Re: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Fri Apr 12, 2013 5:07 am No, I didn't. I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
    • My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
    • There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU. 
    • Any idea where I can get genuine MAF apart from used ones? I can't find any only for GTRs and unfortunately that price is not in my budget 🤣 I might gap my plugs down and put my splitfires in, they were only in for a year or so before I started the rebuild
