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 !!

    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
