Last time I am sending pictures on my phone....... :angry:

My silly phone screen displays colours that are SO different to what you see in real life / on a computer. I sent a picture of what I wanted as a final product thinking that the colour was perfect as per my phone - turns out it was symons gold and totally different to what I really want. Thankfully the boys @ Killer Kustoms were smart enough to pick up on it and thankfully confirmed before going ahead.

This is the picture I sent from my phone

This is the colour I actually want - subtle and not in your face

Top secret gold.

Looks a little dark because this is inside their office but looks nice in natural light.

Still waiting for my wheels to come back...(its killing me :ermm: )



Also need help with tyre sizing....


Rims are 18x9s


Was going to get 235 40 and 255 35 but a certain part of me still thinks 225 45 and 245 40 is the better way to go.


I like the look of streeeeetch :cool:


Good thing I hav'nt ordered them yet.


So looking for opinions but I want pictures to help me decide (as far as possible please)

Ordering my tyres this week from Tempe......Ku31s - 235 40 18 and 255 35 18 (some really awesome pricing).

Getting them fitted and balanced and will also get a wheel alignment done down at Killer Kustoms itself.

Went in this morning for a peak - they look awesome !!

^^^^ Personally just like the look of a broader / wider tyre at the back. Also more grip in a rear wheel drive would'nt hurt I suppose.

Apparently one school of thought (you know who you are) also suggests that a broader rear tyre and skinnier front gives you more stability, helps cornering etc - which I have my doubts about - hahaa...

BUT

to answer your question...just looks really

Btw....been meaning to ask - still got the red devil?

Still in due of a fresh coat of paint then im guessing?

We should get OON (is he back in town?) and finally do our photography session !!! I want to get one done as soon as the new rims go on and I tidy up some bits and bobs under the hood.

Just read from start to finish..awesome read man..love the wheels aswel..couldnt escape the gold ay..lol..your rig definateli looks the goods man!

Cheers Josh.....yeah thought long and hard about the colour choice.....gloss black with silver lip lost out by the smallest of margins :ninja:

Murdered out look is too common with all the falcadores and subivos so sticking to something different that works for me.

Update:

Change of plans with the tyres. Was not confident with the sizing options so went to speak to Aaron @ Westy's Warehouse this morning...undoubtedly a TOP BLOKE !! Great advice - heaps of patience with my umpteen and annoying questions - helpful and friendly.

:cheers: mate...cleared up a lot of doubts and clarified a lot of information.

Stay tuned

Bloody awful weather today - and its going to rain the whole week...how annoying.

Was playing with a photograph for a cover photo and thought I would upload it just for the heck of it..so here goes !! Sir Stigness visiting me :bunny:

Keeping in mind my obsession for as long as I can remember with the "GT" style wing ^^^^^^^^

...I just could not resist when I saw a black one for sale on here. Picked it up on Saturday morning - :thanks: Julian !! Best of luck with your project and was nice to meet you and chat.

So this is going to be my next project when I take my two weeks off work. Just around the corner actually come to think of it !!

Untitled_zpsbc6e8d95.jpg

Going to get another boot....flatten the edge so that it is all flush and then mount this wing on with EXTENDED STRUTS so that it is nice and high. Will naturally not keep it on the car for daily driving but plan to have it as an option for when I feel like. If you look at the picture above I want the wing to sit about 2 inches lower then where it sits at the moment - so nice and high but not so high that you can see it over the top of the car if you look at it from the front. It is wider then the GTR one so I am looking forward to being able to see it protrude nicely from both sides when you look at it from the front.

Will be looking for a stock boot lid for sale now - so let me know !! Any colour is fine as it is going to get modified and then painted.

You can buy flat/flush bootlids from a fair few places these days, think Just Jap stocks them, maybe even Seibon for a pricier option. Would probably be a LOT easier than flattening one out yourself mate.

Depends on what you mean by flattening. Do you want it to sit up flush with the tops of your quarter panels or just the little depression in either side where the stock wing sits flattened out? If your after the first one don't even bother trying just buy one if your after the second then it's achieveable but a bit of work involved in welding up the holes first.

Thnx for the heads up..been searching but all i could find were carbon fibre ones..do they do them in fibre glass?? Judging by the price of cf ones i thought it was prudent to just fabricate my own or have fun while creating at the very least

    • @Murray_Calavera  If I were an expert I wouldn't be in here looking for assistance.  I am extremely computer literate, have above average understanding on how things should be working and how they should tie together.  If I need to go to a professional tuner so be it, but I'd much rather learn and do things myself even if it means looking for some guidance along the way and blowing up a few engines. @GTSBoy  I was hoping it would be as simple as a large vacuum leak somewhere but I'm unable to find anything, all lines seem to be well capped or going where they need to be, and when removed there is vacuum felt on the tube.  It would be odd for the Haltech built in MAP to be faulty, the GTT tune I imported had it enabled from the start, I incorrectly assumed it was reading a signal from the stock MAP, but that doesn't exist.  After running a vacuum hose to the ECU the signal doesn't change more than 0.2 in either direction.   I'll probably upload a video of my settings tomorrow, as it stands I'm able to daily drive, but getting stuttering when giving it gas from idle, so pulling away from lights is a slow process of revving it up and feathering the clutch until its moving, then it will accelerate fine.  It sounds like I need to get to the bottom of the manifold pressure issue, but the ignition timing section is most intimidating to me and will probably let a pro do that part.  Tomorrow I'll try a different vacuum line to T off of, with any luck I selected one that was already bypassed during the DBW swap. @feartherb26  I do have +T in the works but wanted to wait until Spring to start with that swap since this is my good winter AWD vehicle.  When removing the butterfly, did it leave a bunch of holes in the manifold that you needed to plug?  I thought about removing it but assumed it would be a mess.   I notice no difference when capping the vacuum line to it or letting it do its thing.  This whole thing has convinced me to just get a forward facing manifold when the time comes though.
    • Update: tested my spark plugs that are supposed to be 5ohms with a 10% deviation and one gave me a 0 ohms reading and the rest were 3.9ohm<, so one bad and the others on their way out.
    • 9" wheels are a little too wide for a RWD 32. They can fit. People have put R33 GTR wheels on 32s for years and years. But they are a very tight squeeze. This has been known for about 30 years. As I said - there is no difference between a 17 and an 18 in terms of what will fit. The rolling diameter needs to stay about the same as stock - not very much larger. If you increase that, you will start to have problems. If you increae rolling diamater at the same time as yo increase width, you will have problems earlier. as 9" wheels are pushing the boundaries already, you would need to be careful with tyre choice. I would put 8.5s on the front of mine, but would expect problems with 9s.
    • post up screen shots of your injector tables
    • Diagnostic flow for a code 21 says check signal at the ECU pins, on a voltmeter of some kind it should read 0.1V at idle, 0.12V cranking, 0.15-0.25V at 2000 rpm. Check each coil such that +1, -3 is infinite or very high resistance, -3, +2 should do the same. (-1, +3), (+3, -2), (+1, -2), and (-1, +2) should all be somewhere between 0 ohms and high resistance. If you trace the path from the coil pin all the way back to the ECU in the diagram the resistance you measure at the coil vs connected to the harness should be pretty much the same.
