Hey all! I just bought these.....I thought they would look ok but now that they are on the car, i F*kn love them, especially going from the stockies. Pics dont do them too much justice...will get better ones as soon as the next sunny day rocks up here in tassie....could be a wile :(

[Edit]: Btw they are 17x8s on the front and 17x9s on the rear. Thinking about painting my calipers. What colour should i go??? The norm red or should i go white or something??

Very nice!!

I love em.

I reckon go red/blue on calipers if you want em to stand out but I would go black with 'nissan' white.

The black will just make them look clean where as I don't reckon stock brakes are big enough to be bright.

I love black rims, almost all of my cars have had black rims.... and they look great...

a good early morning or late afternoon photography session will really bring them up lookin good... try a shot from down low, really makes the rims the focus of the shot... with the sun behind you...

I'm not a fan of the blue or red nuts though, all black I'd even be tempted to paint the centre cap...

then some black racing graphics......... yeah I know...

Thanks for the replies!!! Hmm, yeah, i wouldnt go gold calipers simply coz itd look like i was trying to look like brembos. Red mayb, but yeah, black with white nissan would prob look sexy!!! Ill get some pics up tonight of sunset and see how we go!! WET-25T, i was thinking about it, but originally, i was just gunna get these rims as "In between" wheels (i got them for $600 second hand off a mate), but i dont know now, i think ill keep them on there for good. Also, i was contemplating pilishing the outer edge of these ones, but thought that it'd prob look gay and make the rims look smaller, as they are only 17"s. Any other suggestions on calipers??? Leaning towards black with white nissan atm....

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
    • Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
