Import Monster FTW!

Helps you can go down there in person and see the wheels next to/on the car, or at least get a good idea of what a similar wheel will look like, offsets etc.

Added bonus of having a well priced place in Vic/Aus as opposed to guessing something over the net/yahoo and not being happy.

I'm down there a fair bit, as are other SAU-Vic members I see when I go for my little visits :D

lol saw ya last time i was there (dude witht he chaser) yeap Aaron is your man if your in the market for wheels. loks after his customers. in the past 4 months iv bought 3 sets of wheels from him with the most recent being for my chaser. his prices and service is just that good. and he will help you out in giving you info on the best fittment for your ride.

also streeter is another option if you know what you want and have all the specs. you will just have to wait for the wheels.

+11ty Tyre Power in Hawthorn if you want NEW jap wheels, lots of quality stuff in the showroom instead of having to pick them out of a catalog. Great people to deal with, heaps of KU36's & Nitto semi's in stock.

OTR in clayton have a cool little setup with other jap parts, lots of stuff for evo's & are pretty good on prices, a few nice rims on display, can't go wrong with either of those two.

Import monster would have to be the best if you want secondhand jap wheels and want to save some coin. Would be surprised if you couldn't find anything you like there.

j imports (i bought my 19inch vs-ks from him)

jdm peroformance (i bought my 18inch te37s from him)

import monster - top dude never bought anything but have helped with lots of my enquiries

otr - seem to get f@cking awesome prices on good japanese rims

i wouldnt go any where else but these guys for rims

streeter is good and cheaper then local importers..

+1. Bought my TE37's from him, and they were by far the cheapest by at least $150 from anyone else.

My wheels arrived in around 5 days from being sent, so it was hardly much of a wait. Plus Jesse also helped me immensely (probably around 30 emails), in what offset/size/width would perfectly suit my application, and needless to say, he got it spot on.

www.jessestreeter.com Just send him an email regarding what you are after, and take it from there. dezz is another SAU member that has bought stuff through him.

Import Monster & Aaron will go to the ends of the earth to find you any rim you want. Their service and price is second to none. I have used them many times and will be using them in the next few days :P

+1

I believe that he even has a set of BBS LM's there now for the taking :D

I'd love some new jap wheels but the cashola situation isn't great at the moment. Plus I do a lot of K's, and drive on some more rural type roads out here so i'm looking for something a little more daily spec. Maybe some 350z wheels or similar.

    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
    • Does the scanner do all the CUs in the car, or only the ECU?
    • @666DAN sorry to bring you and old thread.     I've got my de+t done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.    Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd when selected . But nothing when in  drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic. I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Do ya have any ideas?     Cheers man
    • Well I recently changed my rear axles and was thinking if I bumped anything, I have been driving the car for a while now though... But it has been raining today so everything is wet under the wheel arches. Brakes feel fine and can't hear any of the metal screamers, I had a squeak coming from one of the handbrake drums but that seems to have gone away a while ago. I was going down a hill when it lit up and I did feel the abs bite for a second and question why it did it?
    • Correct. Um. I dunno. I haven't cared enough about the way that the NA cars work to know for sure. But..... The 33/34 turbo manual cars have an electronic speed sensor in the gearbox that outputs a +/- (ie, sawtooth AC) voltage signal. That is connected to the speedo. The speedo then outputs a 0-5v square wave (ie, PWM) signal that the ECU (and any other CU on the bus) sees. The speed sensor is NOT directly connected to the ECU. So here's the problem. Your new ECU expects to see the PWM signal, but must somehow be getting a direct signal from the diff speed sensor. Which would suggest that the wiring of the NA car is not the same as the turbo cars. I think you will need to spend some time with (hopefully the wiring diagram for the car) and a multimeter to see what is connected to what. Then, presuming I am correct**, you would then want to separate the ECU speed signal input from the rest of the car's wiring, and probably either buy a speed signal converter, or build one using an arduino (or similar). That would take in the speed sensor signal and output a scaled (and suitably rearranged) signal for the ECU. ** We shouldn't presume that I am correct here, because there might be something else crazy going on. I don't think you could convert the speedo to be fed from the gearbox sensor, because the pulse rate from that sensor is probably different to the diff sensor and then the speedo would read wrongly. And this also wouldn't fix the ECU's problem either, because the ECU doesn't want to see the gearbox signal direct either (assuming that they are all on the same wiring, for some odd NA related reason, see above caveat!) Does this help? Probably not. Can you make it work? Almost certainly. With the above work. You should buy a handheld oscilloscope from Aliexpress so that you can view these signals directly. Connect up the probes and drive the car. Show photos of the screen when drving at known speeds and connected to different places, and we'll see what we can learn about it.
