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.

    • 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.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
