G'day All,

Well, where should I start. I have a set of R33 GTR rims available for $1300. They 17x9's and to be honest they all have some sort of gutter marks. (I've been quoted $80 to fix each wheel) Anyway, they come with Falken GS 245x40x17 rubber, but realistically, they're non-existent, 1 of the 4 needs to be replaced, the others, well, I would recommend getting further treads if you get these.

Well, I'm located on the SE side of Melbourne. Given tyres will need to be purchased, is the reason why they're so cheap, but again, I'm always open to offers, if it avoids the time wasters, and can ensure a quick sale.

So give me a buzz or sms on 0403 536 056. I encourage you to get a hold of me soon, as I'll be going away the start of next week. I do work, so the best is to get a hold of me after hours.

Cheers! :D

MERLI: you got a problem take it up with me you dick, unlike others on here i actually buy things and since the tyres are shot and the rims are damaged thats all they are worth to me. So stick your opinion and smart ass comments up your ass !!

It's cool guys, Jordan I respect your offer, however will have to decline. I can appreciate where you're coming from however, as I'm sure you understand these rims are in my opinion worth more. And given the interest I have received, I will have to say no.

If you can provide me with a counter offer, and actually "show me the money" then yes we maybe able to proceed. *sick of timewasters*

As for Merli's comments, I thought he was taking more of a swipe at me. So yeah, don't worry about it.......

Awwww... Did I hurt your pu55y? :(

edit: Scotty, that definitely wasn't a swipe at you... What you're asking is a VERY fair price!!

Cheers Merli!

Thanks, I thought people would have jumped at the chance to get a set of GTR rims at $1300, albeit needing new tyres, hence the reason I wanted just to get it out of the way. So many emails, PM's and calls, just no body fronting up to see me. *sigh*

I know this is not a chat forum, so apologies, dAVE, you can delete this reply, but Merli, should I keep them. I only own a R33 GTST, which is lowered. Considering the offset is wrong, and being lowered, there is some tyre scrapage on the inner front plastic guard thingi at full turn. It does look cool, though, so should I get some new tyres and keep them, or revert back to the stockies....

Apologies again for diverting........... the wheels are still for sale! :(

    • 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.  
    • 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.
