You want FLASHY or practical?

Your car insured and do you intend it to stay that way??

You want deep dish look or most suitable???

For tyres, do you want economy or don't care about what you have to pay????

And do you want some ride quality or want to know the sixpense you drive over is heads or tales?????

All this and more has to be considered before you do anything with wheels.

u can fit pretty much anything with a bit of work, x8 +0 will be fine

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!

I wonder if this could possibly be correct?

And DR JOSH's 17 x 10 +20 mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm maybe, BUT!

The pics below are 16 x 8 +25 so you decide.

The tyres are 245/45 Yokohama A008RSII and they scrub on the top over any bump at any speed. I have to roll the inner guard & fit my coil overs fitted with 250+lb/in springs and wind them up to g'tee clearance, or do a big flare job on the guards. There is about 30mm clearance inside between tyre and trailing arm.

Cheers, D

Dennis, when is the DR ready to hit the track? Let me know your first outing and I will bring the TR8. I have a Supersprint mid April at Eastern Creek but always keen to squeeze in another track day.

cheers

I'm still waiting for the fuel rail to be made.

Was told yesterday it's being anodized so should be soon now, maybe! Yeehaa 770 injectors & lots of E85 force fed at about 20psi.

Then I'll get serious with that & the PNV. Changed the rear end on PNV today to the Koni & King show.

Ordered new front inserts today, so will be looking to have the Koni & King show all round.

Gotta have it ready for Adelaide, as I'm looking into freighting the DR and trailering the PNV so I can have some hot laps of Mallala.

Cheers, D

      rb20de neo +t conversion - boost pressure sensor needed?

      By Neostead2000 · Posted

      Agreed with the rest. Also at least based on my own research, there are no readily available stock or close-to-stock RB20Neo maps that you could download and use as a base were you to buy a complete standalone ECU, and the regular 20DET maps don't really work well so you'd need to take it to a tuner if you have no experience. I installed an AEM V2 on my 20Neo+T and had lots of headaches until I got it to run and idle properly but I've yet to remap it fully. You have to start building up your timing and fuel maps entirely from the ground up; even the ones for a 25 didn't work at all.

      GOT SUM's RB34

      By klutched · Posted

      Got some decent progress after work yesterday and also today. Got the ECU all wired and passenger side interior all back together. Kept the wiring up nice and high to avoid people standing on it. Got the surge tank relays rewired and tidied up the pump wiring and cut a hole to bring the cables through.  I found a spare USB cable I had lying around so I decided to cut it up and see if I could use it for my CAN 1 bus. Turned out one of the pins I needed was to the shield of the cable so i cut it up and desoldered it and resoldered to the correct pins.  Had the issue with the powersteering hose hitting the A/C compressor and fan shroud. I pulled the bracket off and modified it to remove the front mounting point which now clears it all. Will keep an eye on it to see if theres any signs of fouling once it's up and running.

      So today I went well outside my comfort zone (again) to replace my valve cover gasket.  I have had a big leak over the exhaust leading to a lot of smoke and smell every time I drove it. The leak was in the rear driver's corner.  The job wasn't hard as such, just a bit finicky and time consuming.  The old gasket was rock hard and broken right where the leak was.  The leaky corner had so much sitting oil in it.  The good news to my amateur eyes was no buildup or sludge under the cover. It all looked fairly nice in there.   I haven't started it yet. I ran out of light and body when putting the coils and injector loom back in. Probs only 30min left for the morning.  I was so nervous putting the cover back on, I must have lifted it 5 times to make sure the gasket was still seated properly. God it's going to be nice to be leak free and not make other traffic light queuers think my car is about to explode.
