Well i have finally decided to spend some money on some 17" wheels.

I have had my eye on some for a while now - AMG Matrix Chromies. (Dodgy scan attached)

So hopefully i will get them within the next week or so. The only hurdle i have is Bob Jane (or there finance company) have to approve my finance for them. But that should be sweet.

Anyways im really happy as the stock rims are really letting my car down at the moment. Should be getting new lowered suspension in the next few weeks as well.

A question. The rims are 17" x 7.5"....... I want 245s on the rear and 235s on the front. Will 245s fit on the rear? The guy said it will stuff up my speedo/ odometer etc??? I didnt think that was right.

Yeah I know the colour you mean Adam but the Matrix only chome in Silver or Chrome. The ROH Adreneline com in shadow chrome but every second car has those rims nowdays

Anyways.....

Not getting chrome anymore because they wont have them for a few months so i am just getting silver. Oh well they are easier to maintain. They are coming from the eastern states so hopefully they will be in on Friday.

Incidentally one fo the guys that works at Bob Janes WRX was parked out the front (always is) ....... runs 12.2sec 1/4 mile :burnout:

Well I finally got my rims. They look heaps better than the stockies (der).......and im glad I painted my brake calipers 6months ago because now they look really good.

I will post a pic up tomorrow. Needs to be lowered now but it looks heaps meaner....and Im glad I didnt get chromies, these are shiny enough.

Anyways im happy :cool:

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
