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 !!

      Find out what RPM it was idling at with the IACV unplugged. It's very weird that the rpm didn't change at all, and then it stalled. When it stalls is it nearly like a switch off, like you've turned the engine off? Or is it more stutters and sputters and coughs to death over a few seconds? Or does the RPM just slowly keep going down and down? Have you done a test of trying to start it with the AFM unplugged? Does it still die?     If you Follow Josh's advice on using Nistune to check the voltages (which is a perfect method!) if you see anything out of wack voltage wise, THEN get the multimeter out and read the voltage directly at the sensor. If the two vary, then you're now looking for a wiring issue vs a sensor issue. So be aware, what the ECU sees, may not be what the sensor is actually saying too...

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      You very likely need to get it on a dyno and tune it. My assumption is, you've got an RB25DET tune in it, which has a different manifold, different injectors, and different cams as a minimum. What O2 sensor are you running?   When you say it runs extremely rich from idle all the way to redline, is this just free revving it you see that?

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By Haggerty · Posted

      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.
