Sorry, not able to help. Dare I ask, is it the wheels that are a problem or the state of the tyres?

There have been one or two other occasions when people have asked to borrow wheels and tyres to go over the pits, because their tyres are bald. In such cases, the advice is always to go and buy some new tyres. We are priviliged to drive such wonderful, powerful cars as these. Decent tyres are part of the price for that privilige.

So don't be like the bogan Falcadore drivers, make sure your car is road-worthy. Otherwise you will wrap yourself around a lamppost somewhere.

(Bet you wish you had never asked, now!) Sorry for the lecture and I hope it was not needed. :D

Cheers.

I agree. You got stickered for bald tyres for a reason. I have had the privilege of driving on both bald and shit tyres, and trust me it isnt a nice expeience. Even without boost, I was afraid to drive my car (I had had my license for only a matter of weeks when I nearly hit a tree because my car slid out, I turned the corner at 10km/h if that). Mate, tyres arent that expensive, just do the right thing and you wont regret it.

Also, listen to what Brendan has to say. He has a lot more experience then most of us, and knows what he is talking about... Most of the time :P

And Sl33per, as i said, sorry if it became a lecture. But if Rhys agrees with me, I must be right!!! :P

Yeah I agree with ML crisis :D

I span out on Bald tyres I'd hate too see someone else do that

and possibly hurt themselves or someone else in the process

if so replace the tyres

FYI

span out on the freeway about 6 months ago aquaplaned into the barrier after hitting some water

even still the tyres where pretty worn may have been different if the tyres were new

I know alot of people may look down on me for it but still just replace the tyres to avoid what i went through :)

    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful
