We just had Braid make us some new wheels for the GIO and Winfield Car.....they where about $600 a rim delivered. Pretty sure if you have the design they will remake em in stud or centrelock.

Surely a multi-piece rim is going to have a LOT more engineering and design considerations than a s1-piece, and thus cost a lot more. Pretty cool that they can do that though.

  • 2 weeks later...

Just a quick update, the car has been at the tuners where the final mechanical touches have been done, including tomei cam gears, power steering cooler, id2000 injector plus fuel rail install, hooked up fuel surge tank plus twin 044s, installed haltech duel wideband.

All was looking good and we looked set to go testing this Sunday at Wakefield until the vipec decided to pack it in :(

It was doing all sorts of weird codes and asking to set parameters for things that don't exist on the car ie, set parameters for electronic throttle ??? You have no option but to set something, so after trying for two days to get thru to the vipec dealers ( they did not respond once) we decided to ditch the vipec and purchased a haltech platinum pro, they seem to have a good network of technical guys who will actually help you not ignore you.

Car is back on the dyno on Monday, we will post results

Looks like the car will be ready for Circuit Club on the 7th of October. If you're out there and see a very slow, blue Skyline that will be me :)

Looking forward to finally getting some time in the car and hopefully start working on those lap times.

Back on the topic of the mirrors, the GKtech's don't appear to be suitable. Should I go for genuine ganadors? Are there any other options?

Quick update.

On the dyno at Race Solutions. These guys have been fantastic to deal with:

Engine Bay with new fuel reg, fuel rail, tomei cam gears and power steering cooler. Nothing too exciting but progress all the same :)

Awesome Mario thanks for posting. Looks like I have most of the decals sorted but this is a really good idea :)

Got any pics of the Primera?

Cheers!

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
