Seriously?

Prank, I think you're gonna have to get some drum brakes off a Datto 1200/120Y (thank God for Nissan parts interchangability, hey?) at each corner to fit those wheels on!!!

At least that way, you could get some 12" rims off that same 1200/120Y to substitute if you get a flat - they look about the same size...

:lol:

Wow, not too popular!

And here I was just being blown away by the retro/drift/oldskool/rebel/serious function of those wheels . .

Gotta say I like the look, old school wheels on a newer car. Can't tell you what they're called though.

But I know some guys who might, hang on.

ok guys... thanks! (i think)

apparently they sell for about $650 a rim (without rubber), so **** that!

I was only going to get them as a track wheel... not for everyday street use, i still think they look pretty cool but not as cool as a phat set of 18s or so..

Hey Prank,

I picked up a set of Volk Racing 17s, WITH used Formula-Rs on them for $2,000 from Powerplay.

Check some of the importers, heaps of them change the rims that were on the car when they arrive for something larger/more interesting. Also, smaller 17 or even 16s will be cheaper to buy exotic rubber so that you stick better.

No point getting great looking rims for track days, they just get scratched when your wife thrashes them into the kitty litter:uh-huh:

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂

      Cas issue

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.

      Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.

      Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
