I ordered these wheels from the guys at JAX Tyre Centre at Southport, they are good blokes but they had a major problem getting them from the supplier, for 3 days I was stuffed around and fed BS about " Their coming from Sydney" or "They are on the truck from Brisbane", then back to "The pallet hasn't arrived from Sydney" WTF ? :ninja:

I had enough and went back to JAX and got my cash back, they had the dirts as much as me about it and they did everything they could to get me sorted out but no luck.

Can anyone suggest where I could go for wheels on the Gold Coast or up in Briz, thx

More drama,

Ordered in these from different wheel shop

Thursday - " Will have them tomorrow "

Friday - " Sorry mate they are coming from S.A. come see us Tuesday

Tuesday - " Wheels don't fit on car wrong size " 32 OS need 40 OS come see us tomorrow.

FFS this is getting to be a joke, it's been three weeks now, all I want is a set of f*&%king wheels for my car !

they are dumb asses, if +32 hit the calipers, +40 won't be any better as +40 will move the wheel inwards. Brake clearance is not dependent on offset but rather the design of the spokes whether they have high disk clearance...

Yes the original wheels have are +40 but the spokes were obviously made to clear the brakes...I hope they took this into consideration otherwise we'll definately hear about it ;)

So which Tyre companies stuffed you around?? Going shopping soon so I need to know!!

Not so much the tyre shops but their wheel suppliers. The boys at both JAX and Dunlop Tyre Centre were awesome they broke their necks to get wheels for me, they just get fed bullshit from the wheel suppliers.

I finally got my rims thru the boys at Dunlop down here at Burleigh Heads, they got a shitload of rims down from Brisbane to fit against my car and came good. Good price too, glad it's all over. :laugh:

ive used Tyre Solutions at Labrador along brisbane road for a few cars of mine and hes allways come through with me and if he aint got them on the shelf hell try his best to get them for u or direct u to someone who can get them.... ask for a guy called Nima.....

    • CTIS (Central Tire Inflation System) has existed since the 80's. I'm looking into buying a Hummer H1 and they generally included it. 
    • My idle is set at 950rpm though - Moving the timing around 20 degrees is not really what I'd call a calm idle. That said... neither is chop, by definition. The LS ECU likes to adjust timing to hold idle as opposed to air. It'd work, but generally speaking there'd be a discrepancy in the base idle and the IACV would want to move the timing around anyway to maintain said idle. I think I'm just going to keep the timing steady anyway. Preserve my engine mounts.  My aircon is now officially regassed. As the guy was reversing I noticed my reverse lights do not operate, along with my reverse cam. This is a bit distressing, because 100% of guides talk about which wire to connect to backup cams as "the goes with the [other color] wire". Often when doing conversions. Unfortunately the R34 colour wires aren't documented Unfortunately I had a T56 Magnum gearbox with it's reverse switch, which also isn't documented. Unfortunately there's definitely not documentation for people with both of these in the one car. Unfortunately I forgot. After many hours of this, I have a reverse cam and reverse lights again. The wire going through the trans tunnel to the reverse switch had broken. Upon inspection, it looks like this one wire had about 7 spade terminals and extensions in it.. for reasons I cannot possibly comprehend. I also spent the 750 hours required to clean up the wiring behind my head unit which now looks like this: This is a monumental improvement relative to what used to be there WRT triple gauges, head unit, traction control, wideband controller, and whatever the f**k OEM stuff still exists there in various states of connectivity/needed. Next step is to check in at the Exhaust shop to see/confirm how much clearance I have, to decide what mid mufflers or 'resonators' (which are just straight through, narrower mufflers) I can add and hopefully cut out a lot of exhaust leaks, pinhole, v-band or otherwise. But first step will be to 'take a look' before the next step.
    • Fark the AFM card and Nistune, Haltech Nexus S3, DBW, cruise control, flex fuel, dis dat.  
    • It's most likely the bolt/bush where the cover bolts back wore and allowed cover to move forward.
    • Still haven't put the injectors and R35 AFM in so we can tune the bloody thing for the HG highflow it got mid last year! I think I can forecast the upgrade path to a bigger twin scroll, external gate, Haltech, flex setup, Samsonas, dis dat, etc will be .... a while away!
