Yep, car has to be able to tow my trailer and dirt bike to track days on the regular. 

Also onto shitty dirt roads when I go to the bush, so AWD might be nice to have. 

tl;dr Buy another R33 GTR with a tow bar addon 

All rounder cars are shit, but a necessary evil for people with only one car space. Daily and weekender is the way to go if you got a choice.

Aren't simmons like the Australian volk? Thought they were pretty expensive, not that I've ever looked.. I don't mind the simple 5 spoke, but don't really want something you're likely to see on several cars the same model as your own

yeah not cheap.

but no better way to show your true 'stralyaness other than stralyan rims on your straylan muscle car.

 

MAAAte, anything else and your not fair dinkum

stock are 10.5" wide??? where??

what model you got again?

all my googling showed 20x8.5 +35 front and 20x9.5 +42 rear will borderline not require a guard roll.

 

you want bawler status and uniqueness:

They used to be, I think they used to be forged and better quality but now days cheaper due to cheaper manufacturing process I guess? 

Don't do it, too many of them around definitely in the Ford FG community anyway, I'm sure Holden the same.

So I'll find something good.

If going black on black wheels you may as well not have good wheels, won't see shit.

Black looks good in person bad on pictures.

Arguments on both sides, some would say no point having a cheap daily if that's what you spend most time in, obviously if you could have a baller daily and baller weekender that's different, I'm going down that path with motorbikes though, track bike and road bike, at least they're cheaper $.

Stock rears are 10.5" wide, could probably get some decent looking te37s on there....

I thought 9.5? Check out some of the Vertini, HRE, Niche etc , thewheeldeal website has some good options, I think eastcoast tyres also recently opened a shop in Bayswater (they are big in sydney for holden and ford ranger boys)

Mate rekins you can get more for less money at dpm and dynomotive, so I'll sus them if I do anything to it.. Probably gonna have to get something else now that I've got the dog, once he's full grown, or option 2 is lose the hard cover and he can go in the back

New M140i is ~60k, will go harder than wrx and isn't ricey. The new civic looks awful


What advantages does this have over say, a train, which I could also afford?

    • I saw you mention this earlier and it raised a red flag, but I couldn't believe it was real. Yes, the vacuum signal should vary. It is the one and only load signal from the engine to the ECU, and it MUST vary. It is either not connected or is badly f**ked up in some way.
    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation. 
    • 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.
