At a guess - 18x9.5 +12...

I'm still curious as to who bought my old LMGT4s from Import Monster, as they were getting sprayed black from memory...

These Kristian?

Yes from Aaron. They were bronze; and underneath a few small scratches, they were originally white.

Chris wasn't happy with the sandblasting; so he sacked the regular bloke and tried a new fellah

Pete aka "PLYNX" fabricated new centre caps on these 18x9.5 +12 GT500 ver05

Let me know if your selling the TE37SL then Ant :-).

will do mate, im not sure if i will be able to though, i paid an absolute premium for the wheels (over 4k) due to them being a special order of matte black and hard to get hold of, now they have bought out there 'black edition' which is better priced! i would be losing alot of money! im abot to wrap them in better tyres and my car will be lowered, so will see how i feel about them after and re asses ha.

'tis a small world after all. Didn't realise I was looking at them in Sydney! Your car looks more and more like mine every day Terry! I lost count of the number of people who thought I'd brought mine over...

Actually K, the ones you saw at WTAC were 18x10.5 +12 that came across on the BsB VS2

They were powder coated Nismo Black as well :)

Terry, if you decide to get rid of one of your sets if you still have both, let me know.. There even in my colour!

LMGT4 18x10.5 +12 in Nismo Black but one rim has been welded 3x in the same spot. It came out from Japan on my VS2 with 1x weld and by looking at the chalk marks prior to its 2nd weld at Minchinbury one could see that the original hit was adjacent to the original crack with faint imperceptible bends on either side. The 2nd TIG weld was performed before powder coating at CRAVED. On the way to the Exec Retreat down near Sussex Inlet, the reweld opened up again. The 3rd weld was done by Nigel at One Stop Unanderra where he made "V" cuts on both sides of the lip before welding. He said that this is how it should have been done the first time. I've been a bit paranoid about that rim and left it on the rear (& never the front) whilst I looked around for a solitary equivalent. That couldn't be found. But these turned up...

18x9.5 +12 in Nismo Black after recoating again by CRAVED. Aaron had located these GT500 ver05 in somewhat scratched condition but perfect in roundness/strength. This has been my spare set Ant.

If I find a single rim for that first set, (even if it takes me years), I'll let you know hehe...

Thanks for the info Terry! Thought the ones that used to be on your old black 34r were 10.5s...

And they would be the size I'm after, there is currently a black set in the for sale section, they are also 18x9.5 +12 I'm pretty sure..

Thought about these, but if I was to change, would not want to compromise on size etc.

Cheers,

Anthony

They are 10.5s Ant.

They were behaving themselves until I took them over and wanted to change them from bronze to Nismo Black. That's when it was revealed that the 1st weld had opened up. Bit of a shame. They deserve 285/30 rubber too.

Yea I thought so.

Ha that's one of the reasons I want to change to 18s. Would love some wider rubber!

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By MBS206 · Posted

      You very likely need to get it on a dyno and tune it. My assumption is, you've got an RB25DET tune in it, which has a different manifold, different injectors, and different cams as a minimum. What O2 sensor are you running?   When you say it runs extremely rich from idle all the way to redline, is this just free revving it you see that?

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By Haggerty · Posted

      I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.

      Could it really happen......

      I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.

      Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
