why do you want one?

the gauges that wire into the standard narrowband sensors might aswell be used for drink holders, dont waste your money

proper afr gauges are hooked up to a wideband sensor through a controller, these are fairly expensive, which comes back to why do you want one?

figured it wasn't just a plug and play thing...

i want one just to make sure I'm not running lean before i get to the dyno, changed to z32 afm and gonna upsize injectors before i get a new turbo. and rather than doing it all on the day and have mechanics there working on it, i'll just install the z32 and injectors beforehand.

and yes i have a NIStune ecu so it's easy to change them in the software to get the car running OK but it won't be perfect...

This is my Noobie reasoning anyway, feel free to poke holes in my plan :cheers:

The old "Brake Dyno" is great for getting your afrs (fuel table) perfect, however to make good progress on the ignition table you'll need a dyno.. The old n00b tuner ethos of "wind up the ignition till she knocks, retard it a few degrees and she'll be right" really is very overated, although plenty of jap tuners seem to get away with decent results using this method =)

tuning myself interests me alot, I'm very new to it all and it'll be a learning experience... but without a dyno how do ya really go about it properly?

I run an AEM wideband on my gtr. Had to weld a bung into the first pipe to do it for the bosch o2.

They are reasonably priced, and the controller is integrated into the gauge itself which is good. The gauge also has a 5v output to come back into a laptop for readings.

Still probably a bit wank factor-ish, but it can never harm to know that the AFR's are good when you have the foot down.

Plus it gave me something to do on a boring weekend. :cheers:

any wideband solution is going to cost $400

if its sub $100 its junk and not wideband

if you dont know what you are doing with a wideband, then stop and dont do it

you can kill your motor if you arent careful. there is lots of documentation on wideband tuning and AFR tuning so its not something new

the consequenses if you get it very wrong howver could be burnt valves = rebuild light

    • Nah, don't bother doing any actual measurements on the car. Just go ask the inter-f**king-net.
    • I currently have 18 x 9 +30 on the front with 18 x 10.5 +38 on the rear. Absolutely regretted it. Ended up putting 15 mm spacers on front and 25 mm spacers on the rear. Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers. Definitely would go more aggressive then what you were originally planning. Keep in mind my guards are rolled and cars fair low so you might possibly need to roll guards depending how aggressive you go and how low the car is. Im not an expert but the 18 x 8.5 +25 18x9.5 +30 Sounds like it would sit much better.
    • Hey guys, sorry i have been researching for a few months and absolutely cannot wrap my head around this. I am about to order some rims to fit my R34 Gtt with coilovers My original plan was to order Rota grid R in 18x8.5 +30 235 40 R18 Fronts 18x9.5 +35 255 35 r18 rears But then the thought in my head said this isnt aggressive enough. I want the most concave spokes i can get without too much of poke and scrubbing   So my thoughts now is  18x8.5 +25 18x9.5 +30   My question is will this be the most aggressive i could get it without any guard rolling and does the type of rim style affect the offset / size.   Thanks everyone.
    • Lower parts are there. On passenger seat, bright yellow bit is the release mount. On drivers, bright yellow bit is the lower buckle for the other side. My bet is lowers are tucked out of the way as much as possible for visuals.
    • I'm guessing its a 4 point harness, 3 of the 4 belts are visible. I'm guessing the hidden belt is tucked down between the seat and door.
