I quite like them as they have a 'light' look to them. Would look quite smart on the V35 in Silver, which is what they are on, correct?

Good work, where did you get the car?

No, it's a unique wheel that rare to see on any car in Australia, let alone a V35! Those wheels are worth a fair bit IMO it's one of the few best looking JDM wheels that suits a V35, and not common as TE37's/GT-C's etc. Good pick!

Rare can be good (exclusivity for your pride n joy) but can be real bad if it ever got damaged. Just don't hit a pothole and bent one of them... you'll probably have a very hard time finding replacement, and may cost a lot of money especially replacing one usually means buying brand new from the manufacturer/authorised dealer. If that ever happens you might as well get it repaired locally if it's repairable but it's not gonna be cheap, it can be more expensive than buying another used set from Japan, depending on the amount of damage done. I've just imported a set of 19" from Japan n the shipping cost alone (on top of rim price) is $900+ via EMS, coming in 4 separate boxes. Just to give you a ball park figure what's it's gonna cost if you ever have to replace one or two of those rims.

Nice combo of aftermarket parts, but be prepare to find std parts, might cost you a bit more to comply with all those aftermarket parts as they're not suppose to be compliable with those parts on... unless you can find a rather 'dodgy' workshop.

The good news is another friend is bringing one in on the same ship so hopefully it will work out. I tried finding out a bit about the impul chip with no luck. Do you think i will notice a difference in performance with this cpu and exhaust system. I.e dyno tune 180rw??

No idea. but I heard they're like a fixed tune ECU so you won't be able to do anything much with it, and I doubt you'll find anyone locally who knows how to tune it, and not sure what local fuel will do to the ECU mapping which was mapped (perhaps aggresively) based on Japanese 100-octane fuel.

I was considering getting one from japanparts.com, but after a rather sketchy email conversation with a Japanese salesperson in broken English about having to bring the car to Nissan dealer for some kind of immobiliser registration, it sounds like a very complicated thing just to get the ECu to fire up the engine, let alone to have it tuned locally, so I decided not to touch any such ECU from Japan.

I am sure it will, just make sure you use good fuel and maybe watch (and listen) what you are doing for a while. A bottle or 2 of Octane booster might help in the early days too.

1 dyno tune (run) on a cool day, will also help.

If it's already on the car from Japan it might be easier because the Japanese owner would have had done the immobiliser bit at a Japanese Nissan Dealer. If you're trying to fit one on a car that's already here you won't be so lucky as I don't think the local Nissan dealer would care about an import.

Im wondering if i should sell these wheels before anything goes wrong. i.e pot hole gutter marks.

Not sure where you are, but most wheels can be reapaired a mate had 2 18's repaired (bent on inside) for $100ea, from a place that Bob Jane deals with.

The place was in Melbourne and they did a good job, if there was a requirement to have cosmetic damage fixed the price could be a lot more but the dent was quite considerable.

I wouldn't rush to change them...

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      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.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      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

      By Duncan · Posted

      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...
