Morning Mangs,

TFIT.

One of my tyres went down (thinking it was the valve) and i didn't know it had come off the back bead. Limped it to the workshop to put air in it and heard and awful scrape... that was the rim buckling. So now I need new rims. Ordered them, but they won't get here till next wek. To add to that I'm being screamed at to get my car out of the workshop. So awesome fun. :down:

That sucks mang :(. How badly buckled, did you look into getting it fixed?

Mine went from this:

To this:

It was only about $120 from memory...

My rims should arrive early next week.

What new rims you getting?

tax man ---> :spank: <--- me

good choice... :D

Hehe, my 5g payment was to pay of the remainder of my HECS as a voluntary payment and get the 10% bonus. So I get an extra $500 in my return for nothing. Rorting the system FTW.

And Chris is right around the corner.

Chris is always right around the corner ;):bunny:

So I sent an email off about my phone. got this reply:

Martin

Thank you for the email,

We have looked into the status of your device with the Samsung service centre. Apologise concerning the delay with the repair of your Samsung Galaxy S II. It appears that the service centre has received the device however they are currently unable to confirm the status of it.

We have provided the service 24 hours to confirm where the device is.

Regards

Sounds like Samsung have f*cking lost it! F*CK! This nightmare keeps getting worse :(.

Why did yours have to go back? I am loving mine.

I loved mine too, until it broke :(. Can't wait to get it back. Or another one back. Whatever, sick of this stupid nokia!

It suddenly stopped picking up signal one day - rendering it pretty much useless.

Spent about 2 weeks dicking around trying to get it fixed in AU, because I didn't want to go through the hassle of sending it to the UK for warranty. NG, had to go to UK.

Sent it to the UK, ~1 week to get there then spent ~2 weeks sitting in customs, until I emailed the courier company to find out WTF was going on. Magically got delivered the next day.

Clove then sent it to samsung for repair the same day, and its been with them around ~2 weeks. So I sent clove an email last night, because I wasn't sure how long samsung usually take with the warranty stuff. Apparantly not normaly this long :(.

FML.

Buckled and cracked. Spoke to some people about it, but apparently it's very hard to fix. They'll probably have to put the centre into a new rim. So they can go in the shed for a while I guess. The new rims seem to be a multi stud. I'm hoping they will also fit a 5x100 pcd so I can keep them when I sell the car and not have wasted my money.

The new rims are ANZ brand.

Ouch... :( probably not worth it with the trispokes then, since the center is welded to the outer.

Pic/link?

    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
    • Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?
    • My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.
    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
    • I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
