I just took my stockies off and put the 17" rims I had in my garage back on the skyline, car feels way better around corners due to less tyrewall flex etc.

Question for wastelanders:

Would an 18" rim and tyre feel any better? Or much of a muchness.

I've gone from 17s with semi comps to 18s with street tyres

Didn't notice much as the street tyres have less grip.

What tyre pressure did the 16s have in them? That can often make a bit of difference - i usually run 36psi-38psi in street tyres.

16s probably had around the 34 psi mark. The 17s have 38. The 17s run Bridgestone TS1s.

Last time I bought flowers, I had them delivered to her house as a surprise on her birthday...

Turns out she went away the day before with some of her family, so her Mum got the flowers and they were probably just about dead by the time she got back...

I think her mum sent her an MMS of them though.. lol

    • 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.
