Ok, so i have these wheels sitting in my carport & im thinking they'd be good for drifting or powder coating..

There in ok condition with no buckles or dents etc, but they do have some heavy grazing on the face & around the egdes! They were originally chrome / Rays Metal Coating finish ( RMC ) but have pitting & flaking so i was going to get them blasted, sanded & powder coated then either sell em for what there worth or keep them for spares but im moving house so am thinking selling is the way to go..

There the 'SF Challenge' model which come in dished & non dished, these are the non dished type / flat face. I've seen them retail for 5500 new though that was for the dished version! I'm guessing these wouldnt be too far below that when they were new, but i got these on a non complied 32 i purchased a while back for a track car. Will get some pics up soon but if you want to come check them out im in Sydneys west, around Blacktown. Am chasing around $350 for em, they're 17 x 8's & 17 x 9's i think.. I know the rear two were slightly wider than the fronts!

Remember, there Genuine FORGED VOLKS with VOLK RACING around the inside of the rim & they are in need of some TLC! But as i said, nothing a blast, sand & coating cant fix!! The tyres are in good condition with about 70% tread.. So if your keen, send me a PM or drop me a line here.. Thanks guys :cool:

Oh heres a link of what they looked like new! There the same wheels as these just without the dish, straight flat..

No worries mate, will do... Cheers!!

Might be interested in a swap for something of interest if anyones keen on em, cash can be hard to pass on at times lol... So yeah, easy either way!! Cash or swap i guess...

Hey Guys, still dont have any pics atm... They're stored at a mates place & havnt been able to get down there to take any but i will try my best to get some asap!! Though if you's are keen come check em out, oh & i found this link with a set for sale for $1800 without tyres, second hand & they're the exact same style of SF Challenge ( flat face )...

I need these gone ASAP! $250 today / tomorrow, no offers! Absolute bargain!! Need to fund a 30th bday :banana:

Bump! Still for sale!! ... Rears are 17 x 9's +35 & fronts are 17 x 8's though its hard to make out what the offset is cause one of the Balance weights are covering the little Rays sticker which sez 'SF +??' ... Looks like it could be +30 something, plus 30 maybe??

    • 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.
