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.

    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
