Ive texted you regaurding the parts your after as i dunno how often you check on here,

ok so im most likely goin to sell the eurolines to fund a set of wheels that fit better

thinkin these

RPF1SILVER.jpg

RPF1BLACK.jpg

in 17x8.5+30 and 17x9+30

rears will basically perfect fronts will sit in a bit but i have no issues with runnin spacers.

what does everyone think?

  • 3 weeks later...

top ones? as in the silver enkei?

thats pretty much what ive decided on haha. but possibly 9+30 for the rear. gonna test fit some wheels clost to them specs soon and see how they sit.

also shimmed up the diff tonight.

1 x 1.4mm shim, instant locker.... wasnt plannin on it bein a locker but ohwell haha

least it wont single spin like it was haha

oh lol.

yeah id like meisters..

but findin a decent set (ie thatll fit without touchin my gaurds) isnt gonna be easy i assume.

its a long way off yet either way. need to sell the eurolines before i make any serious moves to get new wheels.

  • 1 month later...

ok so eurolines are sold.

now back to the search for wheels haha.

found a set of panasports in 8/9 +20 and +30ish.

for aout 600...

but yeah gonna keep lookin to see if anythin cool comes up.

wouldnt mine a set of meisters/professors.

still avnt gotten the recaros in yet haha.

probs just gonna buy some new rails i think instead of waiting to have my current recaro rails modified.

also still having issues with the laurel having a hesitation between 1500-3500 rpm.

ive bypassed the knock sensors and its still happening. currently lookin for an r32 rb20 ecu so i can have it nistuned and see wtf is happening.

anyone know of one laying around?

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
