Which model mate?

I have Volk TE37 bronze on my jalopy. They're fully sick mate ...

The only ones above this are the Volk Racing Challenge which are probably my favourites.

These are also pretty expensive. You'd be lucky to get TE37 for $4,000-5,000 a set. The VR Challenge even more.

I think Croydon AS are the distros but I could be wrong.

TE37 Bronze!!! awesome! they're my favourite.

4-5K new.......awwhhh, i didn't think they were that much.

Do u find these wheels second hand at all?? Possible to get em in from japan??

Cos i wasn't exactly looking to spend that much on wheels when i get the car.

i know this is going to sound like blasphemy to u, but does anyone make copies of em?? :D

Well I kinda got myself in a bit of a mess the other night in the rain and stuffed my bronze volk racing wheels, that were the best I've ever seen. Everybody commented on them and I had to go and smashed 3 of them. I was lucky I didn't do any pannel work. Just a lower control arm and a little bit more. If anybody knows anyone who can get me some in from japan it would be most appreciated.

:D

Well I just ****ed my Bronze SE37's  

Oooch.

JustCars valued my 18x9.5 bronze TE37s at $8k!

That's including tyres BTW.

You can get them new for $1.5k per rim - 2nd had would still be close to $1k per - unless you get lucky. Fingers crossed :)

Funny thing is that I always used to slam my previous cars into the gutters.

I drove like company commodores with plastic wheels caps and you'd just slam them into the curb.

Funnily I scratched the rear drivers side going too fast around a corner and rubbing the median.

My others are fine (I drive carefully and avoid reverse parking).

Yeah - I never have this problem in the Lada :D

Hooray for BF Goodrich!

I scratched my drivers front - backing out of my driveway and turning too sharp.

Such a silly thing to do :)

Anyway... getting mine fixed before AutoSalon - will keep you posted :D

well, seems everyone love TE37, i can get them 2hand at much lower price with tyre, or Challenge for even less.

i am NOT a business man, i am an oversea student! but recently i am getting some rims for my line and i found that i can import them myself instead of rip off by Aus shop! if anyone interest, u can contact me and see if i can help. Which help me earn a bit of pocket $$ to mod my car :P

    • What are we supposed to be seeing in the photo of the steering angle sensor? The outer housing doesn't turn, right? All the action is on the inside. The real test here is whether or not your car has had the steering put back together by a butcher. When the steering is centred (and we're not caring about the wheel too much here, we're talking about the front wheels, parallel, facing front) then you should have an absolutely even number of turns from centre to left lock and centre to right lock. If there is any difference at all then perhaps the thing has been put back together wrongly, either the steering wheel put on one spline (or more!) off, and the alignment bodged to straighteb the wheel, or the opposite where something silly was done underneath and the wheel put back on crooked to compensate. Nut there isn't actually much evidence that you have such a problem anyway. It is something you can easily measure and test for to find out though. My money is still on the HICAS CU not driving the PS solenoid with the proper PWM signal required to lighten the load at lower speed. If it were me, I would be putting either a multimeter or oscilloscope onto the solenoid terminals and taking it for a drive, looking for the voltage to change. The PWM signal is 0v, 12V, 0V, 12v with ...obviously...modulated pulse width. You should see that as an average voltage somewhere between 0V and 12V, and it should vary with speed. An handheld oscilloscope would be the better tool for this, because they are definitely good enough but there's no telling if any cheap shit multimeter that people have lying around are good enough. You can also directly interfere with the solenoid. If you wire up a little voltage divider with variable resistor on it, and hook the PS solenoid direct to 12V through that, you can manually adjust the voltage to the solenoid and you should be able to make it go ligheter and heavier. If you cannot, then the problem is either the solenoid itself dead, or your description of the steering being "tight" (which I have just been assuming you mean "heavy") could be that you have a mechanical problem in the steering and there is heaps of resistance to movement.
    • Little update  I have shimmed the solenoid on the rack today following Keep it Reets video on YouTube. However my steering is still tight. I have this showing on Nisscan, my steering angle sensor was the closest to 0 degrees (I could get it to 0 degrees by small little tweaks, but the angle was way off centre? I can't figure this out for the life of me. I get no faults through Nisscan. 
    • The BES920 is like the Toyota Camrys of coffee machines. E61 group head is cool, however the time requirements for home use makes it less desirable. The Toyota Camry coffee machine runs twin boilers and also PID temp control, some say it produces coffees as good as an E61 group head machine.
    • And yes with a full tank it will hit limiter free revving or driving 6B6CDF6E-4094-426D-A9CB-6C553475FE36.mp4
    • One way of putting the fuel surge idea to rest, is that even when in neutral/clutch in or free revving it still has the same issue, it can’t even get to limiter (7800) so to me that says it can’t be g force, I’m not trying to argue I just want to find the f&$king issue 😡
