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?

    • The average previous owner for these cars were basically S-chassis owners in the US. Teenagers or teenager-adjacent. I often tell people that neglect is easier to fix than something that was actively "repaired" by previous owners.
    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny
