Hey Boys and Gurlies :)

I need some help, Im getting all painted, and kitted up for autosalon, But unfortuantly im going to be running low of money after all of that is done... i have lil 17's that i think are abig let down to the nice bodywork im getting done, and no where near enuf money to be able to buy a set of rims. So i was wondering, would i possibley be able to borrow some nice person's 18's or 19's just for the show... :D The rims wont be driven on because te car is getting trucked to the venue, so no stress about curb rash or burnouts, wich i wouldnt do anyways...

I'll even say pritty pritty please, and buy you half a carton of watever... oh and lots of huggs haha :)

my number is 0424933728 and im Kels, if any1 could help me out, i would much appreciate it!

Thanks heaps!!!

what about a full carton?

lol i'll try and find some for you Kels... i might be entering myself seeing as though i'm doing paint and panel work too... if i don't make it in time you can have my 18''s for the weekend... they should be painted black with a polished lip by then... they'll look like this;

If you're still looking i'm willing to lend my 18's .. they are 7 spoke shadow silver with a polished lip (there's a pic in the show n shine section). They've got little 225/35/18s on them which i think looks great :P

A very low skyline on 17s still looks hot, with 17s you can lower the car further just for the auto salon. Do you have adjustable coilovers by any chance should you not be able to source some 18's?

Nah i dont :D i was thinking, oh ill just lower the car, but then my bill for paint came in :( I dunno my 17's are in imac condition, no curb rash or anything, i just dont think they'll do the car justice on the day... thats why ive opted for 18's, atleast there a bit bigger... lol...

      rb20de neo +t conversion - boost pressure sensor needed?

      By Neostead2000 · Posted

      Agreed with the rest. Also at least based on my own research, there are no readily available stock or close-to-stock RB20Neo maps that you could download and use as a base were you to buy a complete standalone ECU, and the regular 20DET maps don't really work well so you'd need to take it to a tuner if you have no experience. I installed an AEM V2 on my 20Neo+T and had lots of headaches until I got it to run and idle properly but I've yet to remap it fully. You have to start building up your timing and fuel maps entirely from the ground up; even the ones for a 25 didn't work at all.

      GOT SUM's RB34

      Got some decent progress after work yesterday and also today. Got the ECU all wired and passenger side interior all back together. Kept the wiring up nice and high to avoid people standing on it. Got the surge tank relays rewired and tidied up the pump wiring and cut a hole to bring the cables through.  I found a spare USB cable I had lying around so I decided to cut it up and see if I could use it for my CAN 1 bus. Turned out one of the pins I needed was to the shield of the cable so i cut it up and desoldered it and resoldered to the correct pins.  Had the issue with the powersteering hose hitting the A/C compressor and fan shroud. I pulled the bracket off and modified it to remove the front mounting point which now clears it all. Will keep an eye on it to see if theres any signs of fouling once it's up and running.

      So today I went well outside my comfort zone (again) to replace my valve cover gasket.  I have had a big leak over the exhaust leading to a lot of smoke and smell every time I drove it. The leak was in the rear driver's corner.  The job wasn't hard as such, just a bit finicky and time consuming.  The old gasket was rock hard and broken right where the leak was.  The leaky corner had so much sitting oil in it.  The good news to my amateur eyes was no buildup or sludge under the cover. It all looked fairly nice in there.   I haven't started it yet. I ran out of light and body when putting the coils and injector loom back in. Probs only 30min left for the morning.  I was so nervous putting the cover back on, I must have lifted it 5 times to make sure the gasket was still seated properly. God it's going to be nice to be leak free and not make other traffic light queuers think my car is about to explode.
