currently have some

255 40 R17 94Y

Yokahama Advan Neova's AD07

2 with camber wear and 2 which have pretty much no tread..

id love to get the same tyres..

problem is im having an absolute bitch of a time finding somewhere with prices / where i can buy them

does anyone know where i can find..

*sorry i wheel newb :)*

traction tyres is yokohama distributor. else try one of the sau sponsors.

still waiting on custom wheel outers to be machined up and the centres powdercoated.

in the meantime i got our painter to track down either Nissan Midnight Purple II or BMW Interlagos Blue samples for paint. Then it's a matter of rolling/pumping the guards out for extra width which should cover the 11" wide wheels in the back :)

Still divided on paint. MPII would be sweet, but the base colour of the car is blue... which may or may not work too well with a blue-purple-black flippy colour.

go the MPII, it looks awesome in the sunlight and just as good if not better in artificial light. when i just went outside before it was a really nice dark looking purple and then when i walked closer to it it changed to a blue/green colour, it looked awesome :P

yeah but MP2 is a nissan colour. this is a golf... at least Interlagos Blue has some euro history behind it.

Although then the cream leather interior and MP2 should look sweet together. If I go the Interlagos Blue I'll have to change the interior to tan instead of cream. Wheels will have to be a different colour instead of blue barrels and black spokes too if I go MP2. Maybe bronze barrels and black spokes?

Also, there's no green in MP2. MP3 has some fucked up hectic bro chameleon goin on, but MP2 is just straight blue -> purple -> black transition. Black basecoat, purple midcoat, blue pearl in clear.

ok, i must be a bit colour blind then lol because in some angles and light it looks like it has a green tinge in the blue.

have you got a pic of the interlagos blue?

just a quick question if i got some new z tune side skirts and rear pods would it be hard to spray and match up this colour properly?

shan roughly how much is it costing for ur wheels to get done man?

base was $1500 for centres and inner barrels and $1000 for outer barrels. Plus new bolts, labour, powdercoating etc.

full homo cos it's 5x100 fitment that nothing else seems to use other than shitty old toyota celicas, and even then they're like +40 offset which is useless on an euro.

wow, that blue is very nice.

yeah it's a blue base with purple pearl and then a clear with some light blue pearl in it... or someshit like that.

same car, two angles.

Subies are 5x100 too.

also with +40 fitment.

as are Prius' which also run 5x100.

The Works I got are for a Subie, but then with custom outers machined up to my specs so that the offset goes from 18x7 +29 to 18x10.5 -15 :)

mp3 is the f**king shit!

jamie, that 180sx you posted, always see it around my way.

and

today after school, walking across the oval to cross mahoneys road to find a juniors ran across the road and got cleaned up by a van at 60km...

you are worse than a fkn woman

    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
