those don't look too bad, 1600 delivered isn't awesome though

BUT, just found out they're made in the Philippines

ROTA are trash, google for pix of them breaking around the spokes etc.

How do you plan on making those wheels fit, +40 offset on a 17x9 sounds like fail to me

How do you plan on making those wheels fit, +40 offset on a 17x9 sounds like fail to me

According to the offset calculator I used (http://www.1010tires.com/WheelOffsetCalculator.asp), they'll have 25mm less inner clearance and stick out 25mm further on the outside edge. From what I looked at last night under the car this should fit.

If there's something you know that I don't by all means speak up :) Don't wanna get stuck with crap rims. Looked like there was a fair bit of inner clearance at present with the 7" rim on the back and we're only talking about taking up another 2.5cm more.

Am I missing something here Roman?

If i were you i would trial fit them first

i'm not exactly sure about the space in the rear but i think that would be a very close call

Trial fitting is an issue as the wheels are in Melb and I'm in Wodonga 3hrs away, the Silvia though street reg'd is not really road worthy modifications wise so driving it to melb and bak would be asking for trouble =\

So I've gotta have some faith in the offset calculator and 2.5cm less inner and 2.5 more outer doesn't seem that bad. I was under there last night and the gap between the rim and the shock was pretty big.

U've got me nervous now, I'll have to re-measure...

At $1600 I reckon you throw that guy with the LMGT4's an offer. At that price its not *that* much more for arguably the best rims an S13 can buy. Re-sale value would be pretty good too.

im guessing you measured when the car was jacked up?

you might want to try to stick ur hand behind the wheel when the car is on the ground. also try to allow for some suspension movement. I read in the for sale thread the guy used to have them on his S13, so ask for pictures and question wheather they fit without spacers.

Hell no, I measured it on the ground, no point doing it while the suspension is sagging... My car is not crazy low nd only has stock rear bumper so there's plenty of space for me to slide my head/arms in there. Did the same for the fronts.

I'm waiting on him to get back to me as he posted a pic showing the wheels on a "a" car but I don't think it was his car.

I have found another thread (http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Volk-Racing-Emu-Wheels-t239784.html&mode=threaded) so I'm going to PM that guy too with some questions as he had the exact same offset. He says they fit, no mention of spacers and that they clear R33 brakes (I have S15 calipers up front).

Given the details on that second thread, wouldn't surprise me if they were his rims...

I'm definitely doing my homework.

We might STILL be in business...

"hey, checked the link, they arnt mine, as one of my centre caps were missing.

yeah they cleared 33 brakes no probs with no spacers. the camber set up was purely cosmetic. they didnt require an special suspension adjustment. if u get them for a s13 they will fit no worries"

That's from the guy in the second link.

So if the seller will get back to me... we could have a winner :P

i'm going 5 stud, so there is more choice.

GTR offset is from +12 to +24 depending on width of the rim.

i'm after something 9" or 9.5" wide. Been all over yahoo auctions lately trying to find some. Almost bought some old skool 17x9 ADVAN Tri-spokes in GTR offset but someone out bid me.

I've missed out an a few wheels on here as well, coz i always see them too late :P

You are spoiled for choice then you bastard :P

Definitely post pics when u hook something up.

You going to Nov DECA?

Why won't these people get back to me... is it that hard to reply to a PM and let me give you money...

I happen to come across this thread by pure chance and I happen to have some rims left over form an S13 years ago. I never got them on the car and they have sat around my house ever since.

VS-XX

17" x 8" +22

17" x 9" +35

$1500

Wow they are damn nice but I'm waiting to hear back from the guy with the Volks as they are really cheap and it is a budget track car.

Damn you for throwing those up!

Don't suppose you'd take some crazy cheap price for them?

PM me if you like...

I wouldn't offer you 700 like those Volks but I can't afford 1500 either =\

    • Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom
    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off. 
    • I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell. 
    • Final update!!! Got the front bar fitted and sprayed and all sorted now. My cutouts worked great and the indicators aren’t just falling off. 😂  
    • Is this a brand new LSD? if so, have you followed any break/bed in procedure for it? Usually involves heaps of figure 8 patterns, a fluid flush.
