you'd probably have to go 2nd hand for 17" rims and tyres for only $1500

also try www.nissansilvia.com (silvias got hte same stud pattern as the n/a skylines).. or www.woosecruising.com (boost crusing) - they have plenty of ricers who spend stupid amounts of $ on things such as fancy rims.

have to agree with Gordo on the Falken ZE326 - just had a set put on, they weren't cheap and after last nights run, I reckon the old Nankangs handled better. I think it's mainly due to more flex in the sidewal, coz just by feel I think the Falkens are better under brakes, which makes me think they have more grip, but the roll in the sidewall does not inspire confidence at all and really seems to negatively effect initial turn-in, which in turn means you have to alter the line you were originally taking through the corner.

It could be the fact that I haven't fully scrubbed them in yet, they have done about 400 k's though, but impression so far is that they are shit

I may get shot for saying this, but both Smooth and I are running Simex at the moment and they are one of the best tyres I have used if you are looking for long life. I have had these for almost 30,000 Km and they still have half tread on them.... and you have all seen how I drive, so I think that is great mileage.

They are quite sticky once warmed up, they aren't that crash hot in the wet though.

Not the best for really hard cornering either, as I feel they have a bit too much give in the sidewall.

maybe Smooth can tell us his thoughts

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi

      Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off.

      I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell.
