f**king tyrejoints are shit. 3 didnt know what hub rings are, 2 say that they dont do em, 1 told me i dont need em. f**kers

bahahaha now what did himish tell you? :P

go to the wreckers

tyre joints shouldnt stock them, ive been to tyre joints before and they dont stock them unfortunatly

some do... some dont...

even I think that is a sweeping generalisation

Ham, nice motor.

iPhone is finally unlocked at the comfort of my desk - thanks Nick aka WGNPWR for his help.

Just bought myself a pair of nismo AFMs, injectors. Now, I'm umm-ahhing about turbo upgrade twins or single is the question...

I could be wrong here ... and probably am. But doesnt it stop oily air being plumbed back into the intake?

which should stop oily buildup in your intake pipes

yeah pretty much, removes oil in air lines.

wtf u doing man. I told you several pages ago. Email http://www.speedywheels.com.au/ and tell them your diametre of the hole in the centre of wheel and the diametre of the axle hub. They then will send you 4 plastic rings for $10~ and it will be in your fkn mail box the next day

Shan, stop confusing everyone with your leetness. Simple solution, if you got second hand aftermarket rims, get some hub-locating rings if there is a gap.

Hub Location - Alloy Wheels

The hub hole is the hole in the centre of the wheel which mates with the centre hub of the car.

By not locating a wheel on the cars’ centre bore, the vehicle can sometimes encounter vibration problems.

All Speedy alloy wheels are either supplied with centre bore locating rings or are machined to be a perfect fit with the vehicles hub to completely eliminate any of the above mentioned scenarios.

remove your AFM, stick hand down intake pipe. Remove hand to see coated in oil. Thats what the catchcan tries to catch before it goes through your turbo, intercooler and engine.

*facepalm* look at the diagram that you just posted and the diagrams I posted above and figure out what type of wheel Speedy is referring to.

whatever, just do what you want.

oh noes, oil in the engine!

wtf you on about? the majority of any aftermarket rims arent lug centric and will require hub locating rings. The best they will do is have the diametre the same as the axle hub (for example LMGT4's are direct fit onto the axle hub)

lol actually most aftermarket rims are lug centric and not hub centric so that one wheel can be used on multiple brands of cars with the same PCD but differing hub centre diameters. Some may use hub rings for reinforcement if they have say not enough material around the lugs to take the stress, but no manufacturer is retarded enough to make a non hubcentric AND non lug centric wheel.

NISMO LMGT4's are hub centric because they're commissioned by Nissan from Rays FOR NISSANS ONLY.

just cause it can be used between multiple brands of cars doesnt mean they have put the effort to make them a lug centric design. Speedy Wheels for example proves that. Lets say that even if the rim is lug centric design, i believe there will be no damage caused when using hub locating rings. After all, the rings just position the wheel into the centre of the hub. If you then screwed in the wheel nuts, they will go directly in and not push the wheel into the centre as it is already there. Therefore the nuts will serve their purpose of holding the wheel in place...

Hence for anyone who is unsure, hub locating rings will just make fitting of the wheels easier even if you have a lug centric wheel..

yes i know they made for nissan, why else would i say thats the best ive seen for an aftermarket fitment...

bahahaha now what did himish tell you? :thumbsup:

umm i forget. what?

i'll let you ppl figure this hub thing out for me. in the meantime, the centercaps on my wheels are held on by 8 allen bolts. which also happen to be slightly seized. ergo - wheels cant be balanced. fuuuuuuuu. wd40 has been applied, will attempt removal again tomorrow.

    • Ok guys thank you very much. GCG highflow it is then 🙂 
    • forgot to mention that when it does this it does not kill the engine, but I have not kept the pedal down long enough to let it, as I see no reason to beat up on it as its got to be something simple, small and dumb causing this.  And as soon as I let off pedal, the engine returns to its normal super smooth operation and rpms re-stabilize quickly, once below 4k. 
    • neither stumble or cut really seem to be an appropriate term....hard to explain its like a rev limiter but at 4k, but it violently shakes engine and entire vehicle as the rpms will not rise over 4k, even with slow acceleration. as soon as it hits 4k, it sounds like entire spark is lost entirely. plugs were 1.1 which I used as such, but later put in new plugs gapped down to .8 changed back after issue arose when I replaced the coils, still does it with either plug gap...damn and it was all running so good.
    • Oh how times have changed! I actually lean it out relative to my water/methanol injector duty cycle. The methanol adds a lot of fueling and you can then lean it out even more due to reduced knock. 
    • Yeah my thoughts are the same, a well thought out WMI setup, would be slightly ahead of just straight E85 and you're also chemically intercooling the charged air, dropping it even further. This is why you need to add so much more fuel as soon as you spray. I remember someone taking me through their set up before (Dennis, has a R33, lives around Cabramatta - no idea if he's still around on this forum). He would target AFR 10:1 on 98, then as WMI ramped on, AFR would lean back up to 11:1. Amazingly, he did this all through his PowerFC, a relay to cut power to his EBC solenoid if there was not enough line pressure on his WMI kit. And of course, if there wasn't any boost made above gate pressure, you wouldn't be accessing the load cells with heaps of timing for WMI. One downside to that rudimentary setup, once the WMI came on, the EBC would unleash the dragon, and of course all the timing. Tyres would fry lol.
