I still don't understand why people insist on asking for other peoples opinions about their new wheels or their new kit asking for opinions...?

How about next time you say, "Hey everyone check out my new wheels", rather than "What do you think".

If you ask for an opinion you will always get soneone saying nah they suck then you get all defensive or as we have seen in past threads then the person sells them cause they listen to other opinions...

I love seeing what people do to their cars, I don't have to like it to be interested, but if you ask for an opinion you will get one, and usually not what you were hoping for...

Getting people to like your choice is just a unnecessary validation...

Oh yeah the rims, nup don't like em, too heavy, average slivr or chrome... you will blend into the scenery...

+1! Finally some common sense

Jonzie26 = I take it from your join date you're relatively new here, now I have no idea about your technical knowledge on cars in general, but the comments made by other guys here about the weights of rims is merely coming from the experience and knowledge they have about the general weights of different sizes of wheels, knowledge they have probably picked up along the way by spending time on these forums and soaking up the wealth of information that can be had here if you look in the right places.

I used to have no clue about cars, now I have done a lot of DIY stuff like fitting my snorkel with fmic piping, making a second c.a.i aswell, repainting my worn interior trims, sevicing and maintaining it etc the list goes on, all thanks to skylines australia.

Don't worry if sometimes members here can come across as cynical, it's mostly in jest :blink:

goodluck with the wheels, you obviously chose them because they appealed to you which is the most important thing, making your car how you like it.

as said above if you ask someone's opinion on something don't always expect it to be favourable, you should see the r32/r33 camps go on about which car is better, silly if you ask me... r34s are miles in front :P .

Thanks yo-yo

I personally got in contact with Koya. before the other fella on hear did and he has guananted me the weigths. he told the weight for all four dieeferent tyres. so i know that i am right. Yeah your right i am new on hear but i know a lot about my cars. in the process of fixing up my commodore so that it can be sold. I was just purely asking people (strangers) about what they though about them. but then they just evolved and kept asking questions. oh well. at the end of the day i am still going to get those wheels. jist becasue i want my car to look the way that i want it.

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
