Fark all brah. School holidays so entertaining the kids. Taking them to the indoor playground thingo today, they fkn love that shit! Milf watch for me.

Sounds like a good day mang. I'm working till like 1 then we've got the work end of year touch football game/drinks/dinner so should be good.

For those that don't read my build thread:

OK, I've had my fun, here 'tis:

And for Colin:

No wait, that isn't right :D.

I only got 1 cat each side, the ones on the headers:

I think it has 5/6/7 cats in total, but the rest are further downstream in the exhaust system.

Unfortunately because the exhaust collects straight into a cat those headers are no good to me, so I guess its going to have to be custom headers (oh no, how sad)

It is the same engine as one of these:

But mine is not out of a GTA so it doesn't get the "GTA 3.2" stamp on the plenum

Also. the pallet had a mysterious white powder on one corner when I picked it up:

Dan tried it, he said it wasn't any good:

ATTN: Anyone who knows about trailers

My dad is out somewhere in the middle of f*cking nowhere, with his sailing boat on a trailer with pissy little 8" wheels on it. Apparantly the wheels have not held up well to the trip out there (and he still has further to go!), so he wants to put bigger wheels on it for the trip back.

He asked me to find out what the options are for him.

So whats the go? Are these wheels likely to be a standard PCD etc so he just needs to find bigger wheels with the same PCD. What would it be?

Or does he need to replace the hubs? Do all trailers have the same stub axles or does he need to find out what his has?

Any help would be appreciated, I know nothing about trailers other than how to hitch them up to cars and tow stuff with them :D

Just for clarity, does he have a r33, or an actual boat on the back of the trailer?

if it is an r33, drive it off the trailer and drive it here.

If it is an actual boat, attempt to sail it here?

I accept your many thanks in advance

Martin - there are 4 and 5 stud trailer hubs. Most of the 4 stud are 5.5 INCH PCD which is ummm.. *counts* 140mm (as long as I've woken up enough to work out that math right...)

Any wheel will fit if it has the correct PCD, so he could put 13s on if he can find them. How big is the boat (weight wise) because trailer tyres have load ratings like car ones, so if he can work out what tyre he needs, he'll know what rims he needs. My suggestion would be getting tyres/rims that can handle at least half that weight again to take anything else on board into account (fuel, rods, air tanks, blah blah blah, you get the point).

That's really all I know about boat trailers, and it's been far too long since I've really has much to do with them, but hopefully that's SOME help.

The 5 studs I can't remember the PCD for though, so you'll have to hope he has 4 stud :)

Failing just living on hope you could get your Google on and show up that MUZT3K fuckwit :P

An actual boat.

Thanks for pointing out that lack of clarity in my post, it could have caused much confusion. Although, I wouldn't want to be towing a 33 on anything with 8" wheels!

Re sailing it back - he's going to lake eyre, there is no path of water to sail it back.

The boat is a tiny little sailing boat (monohull), weighs nothing. He has stacked up the trailer with supplies though, good point.

I've been getting my google on (instead of working) but so far I'm just getting more confused, i've found dozens of different 'common' stud patterns, and even a lot of 8" wheels that ARE the hub, ie the wheel attaches directly to the axle on a bearing.

I can't remember if dad's is 4/5 stud or if its a funky bearing one, I'll have to wait till he rings again because it's going straight to voicemail (he has to drive to the top of a hill and plug in his big antenna to get reception, lol NextG is shit)

Thanks for the help broseph

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
