You may find that once it it being controlled by the ecu, it actually pulls closed. Most throttle bodies have an air bypass port to control idle, and the butterfly seals completely.

Not this Throttle Body Dale. This one has no bypass.

This is why you have to clean them on a occasional basis or the car can start to stall.

Definitely explains the reason. A small amount of blockage would cause issues.

You learn something every day pinch.gif .

yeah spoolin has 19x9.5 +40 with a 12mm spacer so effectively a +28 offset... but they do stick out a bit - he has stretched tyres and they dont scrub.

but talk to him about tyre wear. with that width and offset you cant take out much of the camber or they will scrub the guards, so tyres wont last long.

Cheers mate, shot him through a PM.

I'm also looking to stretch so hopefully it won't rub too much.

Would a narrower rim help at all? The only reason I ask is the rims I'm looking at only come in +22, 10 or 0.

A narrower rim will always help. As I mentioned I am running 19x8.5 +22 and thats pretty flush.

You can work out how much more they will come out with the following equation:

(width (in inches) x 25.4(mm)) Divided / by 2 - the offset is how much rim comes out from the hub face

So mine that are flush are 8.5x45.5 = 215. Divided by 2 = 107.95. Minus the +22 offset = 85.95mm from the hub face. And thats about flush with the front guards: see pic below.

So 9.5 +22 would be 98.65mm from the guard. So it will stick out a further 12.7mm than what I have.

That is a really good fitment...

That looks perfect

I'm looking at something like this:

Yeah they would look awesome! Ce28 copy? are they Vaerrston or whatever the brand is called?

I should also mention if you run 9.5 you cannot run an offset higher than +35 or they will rub the front suspension arm.

Will look awesome!

I'm thinking of getting new wheels, I love my wheels but they're just a little too small. 18x9.5 at +15. I'll see how it looks once it's slammed with 25mm spacers.. So -10 lol

They are indeed.

So really my only option is the 9.5 to get a few tyre options and the highest offset these come in is +22 so rubbing on the suspension won't be an issue. I will do some ringing around RE 19in tyres to suit an 8.5 as if I can find some at a reasonable price I'll go that way.

I think you said you were in Adelaide? Call Mark at SA Motorsport Tyres on 0409288380, tell him Ryan from Pure Motorsport sent you. He'll look after you.

Removed the Walbro fuel pump today and reinstalled the stock fuel pump and fixed my big hesitation problem around right hand corners ... :)

No issues supplying enough fuel with the stock pump?

It was well and truly maxed by 220, as the pressure dropped after that point and the injectors had to be opened exponentially to squeeze more flow out of it. Not where you want to be, fuel supply wise especially if you have stock injectors.

I may put the Walbro back in but need to do 2 things first,

1) use the filter fitted to the stock to the pump. (I think the filter fitted to the Walbro may be part of the problem. It is smaller and in less than 12 months has gone black)

2) Run the 12v power supply to the pump. I agree that the Walbro seems to perform better with the additional power.

Especially as I have the 60lb Siemans injectors to go in with the tune.

Went a bit overboard on eBay today, picked up my slimline fan ready for the front mount intercooler, and ended up getting a Nismo dash after putting in an offer... Bit sad, but ah well!

Do you have the factory Screen/Nav Unit. I saw the cluster on ebay also, but was trying to determine if it was the right cluster to suit car with factory screen (different part numbers according to Nismo catalog)?

I have a set of Nismo boost gauges. Looking for the Nismo cluster as we speak (ex Japan). Out of interest, what did you end out paying?

    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
    • I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
    • Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
