It's true but that has always been the case

back in the day IBM was the OEM and Intel and AMD were clones and now Intel is the big boy you can find brands in SD cards like that also stemming back from 5.25" discs

Actually Intel made the first 8088 cpu which was put into the first IBM "PC" (the XT), which was based upon the Intel 8008, the first 8 bit microprocessor.

The 8088 was used in preference to IBM's own 801 processor, even though that cpu was more powerful than the 8088...

I bought the varrstone's and many of people have bought the Grid's, if the were so s**t people wouldn't buy them. I have no problem at all saying I bough Varrstone for my rig.

Lol. Ok.

It wouldn't have anything at all to do with the fact that some people just don't want to splash the big coin for genuine gear.

Really its a matter of choice. I mean no one cares when you spend hundreds of dollars for preschool style welding from AM Performance, why does it matter what wheels others buy for their cars?

Replica wheels are inferior in every way.

The more people supporting them the worse off for our scene, what happens if rays for example went broke as a result, coincidentally these brands would have no 'new styles'

Oh an for the record nothing about them is better, other than the price is cheaper.

Mad props to SAPOL for speed trapping the only 500m stretch of the parade that is 50km/h. Saving heaps of lives there guys. My tax dollars were definitely going to good use, paying for the 2 patrol cars and 4 cops mulling around as I cruised past at 45. :rolleyes:

What J-Rad said isnt really defamatory, just sayin'.

Anyway, on the subject of wheels, I have genuine RAYS wheels, yet then I get given shit about how they are 'weak' offset. Can't win! lol

Im quite COMFY with my 17" BobJane T-Mart specials @ $125 each. They were on the stagea & I was very happy with how they looked, now they are on the track car.

Went along with some no-name ebay specials "drif-z" 18" mags on the stagea & am very happy with those. I dont see the need for brand name rolling stock.

anyone actually know if you can get a R33 heater core out through the blove box without removing your whole dash

yes no problems

here is a writeup

I'm very glad I waited for my nismo lmgt4, and I was more than happy to pay a premium for quality Rays Engineering rims. I could have gone for cheaper (inferior) rotas, but I was specifically holding out for the 'real thing'.

i'm hoping the +18 offset 18x9.5 Enkei RPF01's are considered the 'real thing'

Love em, just don't have an excuse to spend the $2k on them.... yet...

Enkei's arnt fakes. They are not trying to be something there not an are high quality,

Cheap wheels are fine so long as they are not trying to be something they are not. replicas are what ticks me off.

    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation. 
    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.
