i personally wouldnt be so keen to buy something off the jap auctions, but import monster and similar are good as you can see the things there in person check for rash and so on then make a decision..auction items are to "buyer beware" for that much money imo

if u dont mind waiting a bit to get exactly what u want, then use streeter, he is the cheapest broker around, he can use EMS (around a week) or shipping which is around a month i think. then u get to choose from anything on the jap auctions and get it for nothing.

Thanks mate , do you have a link for streeter ?

Dude, that's not flaming. That's not even a hot water bottle wrapped in a towel.

Well feel free to call it what you want ....... my point was still made. I suppose to some extent I have now been enlightened in regard to at least one word in the repertoire of keyboard warrior terminology :)

Ha, I'll pay your comment about biomatter on second hand jewellery - one wonders where that line of reasoning stops....used sex toys??

BASHO - I can weigh a 17x8 Drift Tek but it will include the weight of a 235x45x17 RE55 if that is any help to you??

the problem i find is, people dont want to be told what they have bought is cheap low quality gear

I'd agree with you there. Some people delude themselves into thinking they're buying good shit just because they bought it. I don't know if its because they're insecure and need to make themselves look discerning, or whether the bar lowering mentality that so many plebs have these days are actually seeping into the enthusiast circles.

People need to harden the f**k up, and deal with reality. If you're buying stuff that's cheap and of low quality, then face facts.

I wanted to put Drifteks on the SW20. My requirements were:

* Strong enough to survive Sydney roads

* Look good

* Cheap

The Drifteks meet those requirements. The SW20 won't ever hit the track, let alone hop curbs or chase tenths, so the high weight and their potential inability to take repeated high load abuse is irrelevant. I wouldn't go around saying they're good quality sports wheel, but they are a good looking commuter/cruiser wheel.

um, you're the one that used the word, you just called yourself a keyboard warrior.

f**k i dont even need to launch a defense, you seem to be doing a good enough job of insulting urself.

exactly, i dont mind when people know what they are buying is cheap and are unashamed by it, but when people say stuff like "genuine drift teks" it makes me die a little inside.

wow this thread got out of hand didn't it :/.

to op...how much are u getting ur drift teks for? i suggest get the rotas from the guys in upgarage in syd.

17x9 +25 all round for 1,250 delivered which look pretty tame on your car.

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Rota-P45R-17x9-whee...=item45ef163a6d

but if ur prepared to roll and lip if your low then get the 17x9.5 +12 for a couple extra bucks. i think these weigh a tad over 10kg according to some sources.

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Rota-P45R-17x9-5-wh...=item45ef16351f

or u can get 18x9.5 +12 for a tad bit more :)

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Rota-P45R-18x9-5-wh...=item45ef162db0

or you can jsut get some work meisters from japan and laugh.

also, in the offsets you are looking at, its not worth getting a jap rim for looks, as they are gonna look shit anyway.

go much bigger (wider) dude... and you'll be happier

for street duties drifteks will do you fine :(

It cracks me up a bit when people make replicas of replicas.

I remember back when Hybrid was the one making the knock-off intercoolers that copied JDM designs, that people only bought on a budget. A year or two ago I saw "replica Hybrid" kits on eBay. The rolleyes I made at people making a copy of a copy was monumental, and also made me more than a little depressed about the state of humanity.

What's next? A Chinese car "inspired" by the Kia Rio Sport-Pac?

um, you're the one that used the word, you just called yourself a keyboard warrior.

No I didn't, but then again comprehension levels beyond year 5 are not your forte........

f**k i dont even need to launch a defense, you seem to be doing a good enough job of insulting urself.

Well you haven't launched much of a defense so far, not that I was expecting too much - as I said, you'd never make a good litigation lawyer - word of advice, if you ever end up in court don;t represent yourself. All said and done, you've done a pretty good hatchet-job on yourself - not too bbbright aaaare yaaas?

PS I think this saying was penned for you "Never argue with an Idiot, they'll bring you down to their level and then beat you with experience".

there's nothing to defend, u just came in, called me bias, said i had an issue with rotas and left it at that.

oh no! you got me, i hate cheap shit, i surrender to your flawless argument.

what do u want me to argue? that i dont think cheap shit is cheap shit?

lets all get some lovin' happening and just go onto ns and watch nisskids drift videos :)

:(

nope just me?

in regard to at least one word in the repertoire of keyboard warrior terminology :(
This is the same reason why you got flamed in the Rota thread

if u cant figure this out there truly is no hope.

you said flaming was a word in the repertoire of keyboard warrior terminology, you're the one that used the word, 1 + 1 = 2

    • 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.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
