Hey guys,

I'm looking at getting some new rims for my car, and have found some awesome websites, but none of them have stores located in Victoria.

I'd really like to at least see the wheels in the flesh before I made my decisions, except the only places near where I live supply those ugly, cheap rims you always see on Falcodores.

Any recommendations on who I could call and visit?

Thanks.

By the way, I live in Frankston, so would rather eastern/south eastern stores if possible.

ask the interstate companies for freight prices

would only be a few hundred dollars for a set of wheels - if that

I know, just worried that they'll look different in the flesh than when they're prettied up for the camera.

Anyone had any experience with buying interstate like that? Some nice wheels on St George Tyres that I like the look of, just worried they'll come in as the wrong offset, he the brakes, etc.

The ONLY guy you should purchase wheels off is Jesse Streeter.

Fair enough, you cannot see them in person, but he will bend over backwards to help you out. I think I sent around 30 emails to him before deciding the right size, offset and colour of my TE37's.

I bought my wheels from Thuy at J-Imports indirectly from Japan. Ray's LMGT4's (18x8.5,18x9.5) in black. I would buy wheels from him again. In Springvale.

Definitely worth checking out what Nam has available. Msg PhantomR32.

Also heard great things about Streeter.

Cheers.

What sort of price am I looking at for a nice pair of rims? I'm not looking for anything rare, classic or special. Just something that'll nice suit the car with a bit of width in the rears and doesn't have a ridiculous offset (like my current ones).

The front page has some spelling mistakes and nearly zero information.

What have you bought off him?

I occasionally need to source things from Japan and a good supplier would be nice....

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      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 😂

      Cas issue

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      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.
