i think the whole wheel knurling thing is a crock. i run aftermarket wheels/tyres without this, as do many people much faster than i, never had an issue (at the track). And certainly will not be an issue for the street. Same as the whole nitrogen thing, i think it's a waste of time.

haha, agree

some poor tools in the states actually bought home nitrogen cylinders or travel to dealers to fill up so they can putter around town with 100% nitro in the tyres! better performance through the round abouts.

Your're probably right about the wheels, it would be esy to check, just mark the tyre and rim, give it a hard time and see if the mark moves. I was more just letting people know that the rims have the knurling and what it's there for.

Certainly appreciate the advice. will be interested if the removal refitting process affects the tyre at all.

yeah thanks Paul, Jason and co. from Jaxquickfit at Bowen hills for the fitment. they look much better in person than my crappy photos convey. tell Jason to ditch that shitty C63 pronto. I'll offer him a taste of my car if it helps! (that is assuming you guys didnt take it to 250kph down abbotsford rd as you jested :P ) The quality of the HRE wheels is awesome. will get back to you re: the track wheel/tyre setup.

Thanks to Leeson from AMG australia for the processing order, all went to plan with construction and delivery from the states all going to plan.

Also thanks to Adam for the Tuners group for all his help too. how are you going with that exhaust development Adam?!

Absolutely perfect mate, havent seen a better wheel choice on a 35.

Final wheel/tyre sizes and offsets?

thanks.

Front Wheels

Size: 20x9.5 (2.5” lip)

PCD: 5/114.3

Offset: +29mm

Rear Wheels

Size: 20x11.0 (4.5” lip)

PCD: 5/114.3

Offset: +15mm

standard OEM bridgstones back on for now

and for those who notice it looks like it needs to be droped a little, no can do, my driveway would rip that damn 2.5k front lip off in a second!

    • 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.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
