17's are standard on R34s, so 18" is definitely no problems. FYI you will have a tyre placard sticker in your drivers side door-well for next time (if you don't have one Regency will fail you purely on this fact).

im lost aswell lol track is adjusting the hub, i always thought the width of the rim wouldnt metter its only when you change the hub(s13 coilover conversion to a r31)

Can someone help me because im very lost

i think what they are trying to say is that with wider rims, it increases the width from outside to tire to outside of opposite tire. i think?

that sucks dude, but like everyone has said just return the car back to stock form other then the fmic and pod.

tyer placard would be on the car somewhere and you should have showed him, besides, cops have books with all that info init. should have told him to get off his ass and look it up.

DONT try and pass with a PFC computer, not worth the hassle and your car will be fine running the standard ecu.

coilover will deffently NOT pass. dont use aftermarket sus at all as they will be very picking on it and if they dont know much about the brand they will ask you to change to stock.

also, even though your rims are legal. i never take the chance for them to do me for some load rate reason or something stupid like that. stockies are always the best bet or a set of 17's that arent as wide.

marky at ET can do a rental exhaust system for you or spot weld a silencer and remove it after for a small fee if your not to confident on DB limit.

i always like to take no chances with regency though so its up to you, im realy fussy about it.

might see you at regency dude, im defected aswell :) and sorry for the noval haha

didnt they recently update the rim inch so u can have whatever size you want aslong as its not sticking outside the guard.

i swear i read something somewhere. need to go searching

doesnt sound right. people would be going around with 22ichx8 wheels everywhere. ?

anyone know bout the front strut brace ? should be ok.

will the car have to be re tuned etc if I rip the powerFC out. Is it a straight swap ?

i think he means only width wise, still the same 2 inch rule for height

The PFC will hold the tune, it's written to the ROM on the board... just switch them over and then switch them back... not a drama :)

nice.

howmuch for a standard ECU. ? should be too much? would be cool to borrow one somewhere, but if they are cheap enough might as well get one for future dramas/.

    • Just don't use ChatGPT or any other artificial stupidity for the equivalent of googling. Their demonstrated inability to discriminate reality from hallucination should be enough to make them totally untrusted. LLMs don't know anything and cannot think to even the smallest extent. They are just predictors of the next word, and that should never be confused with capability.
    • I think, given the usage model described in the OP, I'd never ever experience the wonders of the 400kW upgrade. What I really need is boost from 2000rpm and probably no more than 260-270rwkW. But I suspect that the highflow is not actually the turbo for that purpose, so I may in fact need to get a G25 or 30 or something right sized and very spooly. We shall see after it is tuned. I've had to back the boost and boost ramp off to stop the thing from pinging since the highflow went on, so I've been almost living the NA life for 9 months now! Injectors are recently in hand. AFM is in hand. Dyno is fixed. Just need to clear a queue of f**king Supras out of the way (and probably fit my new gearbox). So....some time this year? Lol.
    • For what I gather is a Sunday/summer car....braided is fine. You're not going to be left without a vehicle and you have plenty of time for inspection/maintenance. Oof. I wouldn't use them that way. They can probably handle the temperature** but the internal corrugations means that their flow characteristics are a bit shit. Lots of extra friction and pressure loss. Makes them flow like the next pipe size down. ** They are stainless, and the stainless can usually be at least something like 304L, which is pretty good at higher temperatures (unlike 316L, which I would use for a wrt/corrosive environment, but not a particularly hot environment). But the welding needs to be top notch. And even then, because you usually need at least one cone-seat end on them (because you can twist the hose and do up both ends at the same time unless one of them is a union) they can be prone to coming loose with heat cycles.
    • I don't have the OEM oil feed lines though and the turbo-wraparound line is torn, only has water. My plan is to get replacements for these and just connect a braided line to there. And make sure it's leak free. Hoses like these are also sometimes used to connect external wastegates, so for an EGR I think you're good using them.
    • Alright I understand. The most likely case is probably gonna be that I just keep the OEM unit in the car as long as it works.
