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.

    • 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.
