Hey people

i just got defected for having not enough tred on the fronts... but the rears will need replacing soon enough.

i have 19" (245/35) wheels all round, got them when i baught the car, and can't afford to replace these tyres.

i currently have no job, so i need tempory wheels to boot around in till i get some money, i have a mate thats gonna lend me his wheels to clear the defect.

my question is, what are some good 'cheap' wheels i could use in the meantime?

Edited by hijaked

Your cheapest option would be to buy some stock R32/R33/R34/S14/S15 wheels from a seller here in SAU or nissansilvia.com.

Otherwise just buy some second hand aftermarket wheels/tyres.

hey nemz.

i got defected for the front right....

only because my front left was a 2nd hand tyre... it costed me $90 only because the guy only had one tyre at the shop.

the 19's are too big for my liking.. i cant turn right fast, coz the guard eats away the tyre.

I have a set of R33 stockies with Michelins with good tread on them you can have for $80...

or

set of R34 stockies with crappy tread Michelins and gutter rash and only 2 centre caps you can have for $150...

pm me if your interested... cheers

yea wel...

the guy(s) that defected me didnt know it was a nissan... im from the sticks.

just a question... if i put the 16's on my car.... how much will it lower the front... i have stock suspension on the back and king springs with aftermarket shocks on the front... the front bar sits 13 cm form the ground

GTR or s15 rims will set you back nearly $1000..

People still pay $1000 for S15 rims?!?!?

I suppose if it had near-new rubber on a set of immaculate rims you might get that price, but otherwise people are letting theirs go with used tyres for $300 to [url-http://www.silviansw.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=19772]$400[/url].

Theoretically it should lower it by 38mm

Theoretically, a change in the diameter of your rims does not directly affect your ride height.

What will affect your ride height is the diameter of your tyres, which is only partially dependent on rim size (obviously the tyre diameter can't be smaller than or equal to the rim diameter).

And if your ride height changes after a rim / tyre swap, it means your speedo is going to be way off.

scathing... yea thats what i thought...

16's with some ugly big walled tyres is what ill have to do... to keep the car up

all i need now are some wheels/tyres.... so anybody wanna sell some wheels???

People seem to be voting for the S15 rims. Don't know how it'd look, but it would be quite ironic given the amount of S15s getting around with R34 GTT wheels.

You could probably find a set of 200SX / R33 / Maxima rims for not much, as well.

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
