Going by website they only go up to 9.5 like I have with the advans now though? 9.5 is preferable for me if only bc I can use the rubber I already have again. Unless u know where to get dirt cheap tyres too? Lol I might give him a call

cas, has vicroads given you a cheque yet? you're gettin all mohsen on us now. horse before cart n all that. give em a quote for the replacement of the wheel that was damaged only, and IF they pay you (which I doubt) then start looking for wheels. No point getting yourself pointlessly into more debt.

reason I ask shan is because I've looked everywhere to quote a replacement and can't find an 18" in any width for the life of me ergo I need new wheels as a necessity no matter who pays for them. I'm trying to get all the info I can get prior to speaking to vicroads so they can't catch me unawares and pull dodgy shit on me. Being informed is not being mohsen. I thought ud argue it's quite the opposite :P

lol jk mohsen

yeah but you have a better chance of a payout if you gave them a quote for one hypothetical wheel replacement rather than a higher quote for a full set of replacement wheels. I don't think Vicroads will care if you can get them or not.

Having dealt with insurance companies when putting together quotes for the workshop, it's not wise to overquote as they might go into full out deny deny deny mode.

Just sayin.

Trust me i wish i could quote them less than I'm having to do at this stage. Even if they have to only pay for one of the four I'm going to have to buy I'm at wits end here- how can I quote a price on a wheel I can't buy because nobody makes or has them anymore? I can't. But if I want any kind of assistance I need to be able to bring some figures to the table per se. For the record import monster just quoted me 1850 for four cr kais new. not bad comparitively with other wheels. I've emailed streeter this morning. Import monster also have said pretty much no effing way am I gonna find an advan anytime soon.

    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful
