Hi Guys,

Car goes into the painters tonight and the wheels have been ordered.

Will be rolling the guards before I drop it off.

I know not many people on here will be a fan but thought i would update with the progress anyway.

Wheels are Zenetti Mascurade in 20x8.5 on the fronts and 20x10's on the rear.

These should fill up the guards and are not too over the top.

Wheels come with removable accents on the spokes, these will be painted the same colour as the car. will probably drive it without them all the time and just put on for show or cruises etc.

Personally, not a fan of the wheels, but going off what you described in the other thread about the paint, i think it would work and will look quite good

What offsets you going with? reason i ask is I know a lot of the Ozzy wheels don't have offsets ideal for these cars.

Curious how much as well, cause as an example i got my Volk SF Challenge for around $3k from Japan, 19" with rubber worth $900 per corner, and over 80% tread. Oh and not a mark on the wheels.

Took a fair bit of time to find them, but definitely worth it.

Oh and the most import thing - Pics when it's done :-)

Hey the rims look good... However you dont need to roll up your guard because they will fit. i have zenetti kaiotik 20 by 8.5 and 20 by 10's at the back. However i had to add spacers to get the right off set. Especially for the front. I reckon the best fit would be 20 by 9.5 front and 20 by 10.5 rears.... with an off set of about 20-25.. Im not sure about the offset on my rims or yours but somewhere between 20-25 should be good.

Whatever you do, just don't get really low profile tyres... lol. It is a pain, from spotting when the tyre is punctured to scraping the outer rim due to tight roundabouts or what not raises on the ground.

Yeh.. i know what you mean I had a flat tyre and drove on it without realising that it was flat. I had to replace the tyre which was still new :--(

      Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
