That's freakin' cheap. Mine was $3k plus tyres.

MAKE SURE you ask what is included with the $2.5g! You don't wanna be slapped with extra charge of this and that especially with your aftermarket parts, they'll probably gonna charge you labour cost to remove them, fit std parts on for compliance, then refit your parts back on after compliance, that could sting a bit.

could be an earth wire kit (I hope for your sake) which is said can improve voltage stability and give a bit more power, regardless whether you're skeptical about it or not...

if it's some dodgy wiring from previous owner, then I wish you the best of luck it didn't stuff up

welcome to the world of importing cars from Japan!

don't let the rarity of an expensive jap wheel deter you at all. If anything its a plus that you're getting it with the car. You will also have slightly better re-sale value once you get sick of the wheels and want something else. Definately unique looking wheels and better than anything you can buy locally. I vote you keep it, and lower the car to suit :(

Looks like a wiring earth kit and quite a well done one, as they can sometimes be everywhere.

isn't it lowered already ? I cant afford anything else unless it's free :)

The 2.5g doesnt include tyres. I was told that the tyres on the car are in good condition so therefore didn't need to buy new ones. And how much can they charge to take things on and off cant be more then a few hours work , so anothe couple of hundred max .

Manda-those wheels are hot dont loose them just yet. The biggest issue is the fact that they are 20Inch which means rubber is expensive. etc. fact is you will scratch any rim at some point. Worry about it only when you've knocked them round a bit.(swap them if you must for 19's)

My 05 premium is chipped (not sure but must be Impul from all I see/hear), and has the slightly bigger exhaust. It runs like a Dream on 98 Oct so dont panic. No problems starting at all !. The power output at the engine with the chip & exhaust will get you around the 221kw (298Bhp)or over 200 hp at rear- no problem.

Compliance cost 3K+GST. (three people quoted exactly that figure)). Exhaust changes will be at cost to remove then replace once complied. +Tyres separate.

As others have said check they are doing everything.

Sorry-they are 19inch rims-Just unusual to run 35 profile. Normally run 40 for 19's. But shes running slightly wider fronts 245 (i/o 225) so guess that offsets.

Thanks for your input. So is your chip impul as well and what does it do ? I have the fujitsubo exhaust system as well have you had it dyno tuned im curious to see. I was thinking about selling those wheels and getting something a bit cheaper to give me some money back from the compliance , etc.

Also yes they are 19" . The tyres are 245/35/19 and not sure about the rear maybe bigger. If i have to buy some more tyres i will be very angry ! What colour is yours and what wheels you got on it . Do you have any pictures . Mine is a 03 model.

Here is my o5 coupe. Not sure what the chip is. I know all standard V35's pull 206kw.Add the exhaust & chip and the I few a saw/test drove were all quoting 221kw(298BHP) which is easy to believe. You loose about 30% to the back wheels. (so near enough).

Look at the wheels another way-Check what you would get for em now & if its alot less than a decent set of 19's you will be out of pocket anyway. Better to hang on to them. otherwise choice is yours..

    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation. 
    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.
