Hows your $600 spring work Jethro?

Brrrrrppp! Lucky your shifts arn't too good anyway Jethro as you car might finish breaking in half!

Lets just say they work better then your dick does, by the sound of things....:whistling::nyaanyaa:

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha f**k

Did the wire cut mod. It certainly builds up the revs a lot quicker while braking now but I can't say I noticed a huge difference. I do have some big wheels on though and no (or insignificant) power mods though...

You can't receive new messages...

Remind me what size did you go for with the wheels? They were 19x something right?

Have any problems with fitment?

Saw them tonight. Great fitment.

From memory they are 19x9.5 +20, quite a bit of low and some slight guard rolling was done too I believe - Jase can correct me if Im wrong :P

TBH its still a slug off the line. from standstill to 30ish kph the response sucks....unless you've got nismo ECU and/or revving the engine with the brakes on...

The rental Tiida my wife is driving (her car's in the shop again) seems to go harder then my Stag from standstill...

of course, I'm redlining the damn thing and I look at the speedo and its barely reaching 60 kph...LOL

Yep as above.

Ultimately it just comes down to what height you want to run your car at. Chris aka spoolin12 runs the exact same wheel size (maybe a +22 instead of a +20, can't remember), with the same tyre (245/40 R19) and runs his car a bit higher. The rear wheels are flush (the rears were never really a concern, only fronts), and the fronts hang just slightly out of the guards.

Mine is that bit lower (still pretty high, I never bottom out except for on big spoon drains when any other car would, or during a hasty exit from the RAAF base the other day >_< ) so it's running that bit more camber. Front and rear they sit absolutely perfect. :thumbsup:

We rolled all four corners on my car - all it needs is the lip folded up. Now that mine is a bit lower now I don't even think that the rears needed any folding. Fairly confident I've never rubbed a guard, and IF I did it was under a fair amount of compression as I hit a dip in the road coming down one of the hills on Tregarthen Rd. Couldn't see any rubber missing from the tyre or left on the guard, so I'm not particularly concerned.

Long story short, they will fit, and look HOT. How well they fit comes down to heights. If you're going to run it higher (similar to Dale's heights in the BC BR thread, I'd probably go for a 19x9+20 or a 19x9.5+30). Really just comes down to preferences. PM me if you want to check them out one night.

hahah yep. It's a weight thing. Doesn't help that the last car I owned was an Evo with a 5 puck clutch haha.

I like the look I yours, just curious about your camber to fit them flush with guards thats all. Mine is about 10mm higher than yours and is running -2.5deg front and -2deg rear. And already seeing inner tyre wear with the limited km's I've done.

Whaaaat? Have you had a wheel alignment yet? I'll double check the print out tonight but I'm 99% confident that I'm running about -1.5deg both front and rear.

Well there's two columns on the report they gave me - "Diagnosis" and "Adjustment". My guess is that it's the Adjustment column (as follows)..

Front

Partial Toe: Left 0,8 Right 0,6

Toe: 1,4

Set back: -0°28

Camber: Left -1°52 Right -1°58

Camber dif.: +0°06

Caster: Left +6°58 Right +6°34

Caster dif.: +0°24

King pin: Left +7°22 Right +6°40

King pin dif.: +0°42

Included angle: Left +5°30 Right +4°42

Rear

Partial Toe: Left 1,0 Right 1,0

Toe: 2,2

Camber: Left -1°56 Right 1°58

Camber dif.: +0°02

I realised two things while typing that out.

1. I need to find my scanner.

2. You might have been referring to combined left and right camber on your car?

Just double checked mine. Not quite as bad as I thought but the rear is too much.

Front camber is L -2.09deg R -1.22deg

Rear camber is L -2.06deg R -2.01deg

The rear i would like at -1.00deg most and front I want to even it up at -1.22deg both sides. I installed offset bushes up from to help an waiting on the SPC offset bolts for the rear. Then I'll take it somewhere else and get it aligned again

Where did you get yours done?

Where did you get yours done?

Adelaide Radial Tyre at Holden Hill. They do a lot of motorsport cars and seem to have a very good reputation. They kind of dicked me around with times but the work was good and the price wasn't too high. :laugh:

Dealt with them on a business level before. I think I'll give them a miss and go back to Pedders at ridgehaven. Didn't have time to get to pedders when I had the m35 done and went to tyre power on north east road.

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
