Thought I would offer it to you guys first.

Since the new owner of the car didn't want the rims they are up for sale.

They are not in perfect condition and have light rashes on them, however they are structurally sound and are an amazingly light rim at approximately 4.5kg each. Has original stickers on, but could do with a fresh set.

I will double check on the offsets however from memory they are +35, they cleared R32 GTSt calipers and brakes without any dramas and sit flush with R33 guards.

There are only a handful of these floating around and in 5 years I've only seen 3 sets come up for sale.

I noticed an improvement in acceleration and getting off the line due to the reduction in weight on the drivetrain.

Cost $2000, cost me well over that to bring them in.

Can supply some average tyres I have lying around or some Federal 595s for another $500 (will confirm on that pricing).

Prefer local however will ship at buyer's expense.

Cheers

Eug

Pics to come!

yeah it was difficult to see it go, but onto different things.

it was starting to sit around the garage and i didn't have as much time to be doing the racing i wanted.

the new owner is very happy and has received a lot of good comments on it, so it's reassuring to know i did something right.

the sparco rims were multi stud (gone with the new owner).

he didn't want the nismos so they are up for grabs. probably one of the best rims you can get for an NA skyline or S13/180SX. might have to offer it to the silvias if no one wants it here.

Hey Eugene ,

With the GTS-T calipers did you use GTS-T rotors and have them redrilled and did these rims clear the calipers without needing any spacers ...

Cheers mate

r32 gtst calipers with r32 gtst rotors (blank from DBA) which were drilled for 4 stud.

cleared the calipers without spacers easily!

here's the latest pictures. please make me an offer they are sitting around not doing very much and knowing how good these rims are i'd like them to go to a good home and actually used for what they were built for.

    • Duh... to answer my own silly question, it's actually described in the FSM... ...400 pages away at the end of the manual, for RB25DE/DET signal descriptions, it cites the TPSwitch signal action, is dependent on the TPSensor value ~ this tends to infer the builtin POT voltage signal is the primary, and the switches are fallback/secondary should the POT fail/TPSensor signal lost (and switch alone with no TPSensor signal allows for base idle speed setting).... makes sense... they (TPS units) used to fail/wear the POT with time, they're not exactly built to last ~ having the switch as a redundancy gets around this...(or, it's less likely both signals would be lost as they're on different power rails)... and of course wrt RB26DETT, you have to electrically disconnect the IACV solenoid from the harness, to defeat idle air control...  
    • Dose is unaware just how much fun 145-150kw would be in a 2.5L NC MX5. It would be one of the most fun things to drive to ever grace SAU.
    • Same thought crossed my mind ~ depends on how one connotes 'stalling'...ie; gets a rough/stumbling idle as it get warm until it stalls... or... idles ok and simply falls-over when it gets to temp... ...you can test the whole circuit with a couple of resistors ...unplug coolant temp sensor, bridge terminals with a 2K7 resistor (ECU will do cold start), or with engine warm bridge with a 330R resistor (ECU will consider engine to be at normal operating temp)...it's a quick way to check wiring integrity/ECU response when you don't have a multimeter handy ...
    • They also make them with the motor mounted on the side 
    • Just be warned that that turbo will not be a direct re-fit to the car. The exhaust housing is, of course, in the same place. It has to be - it's bolted to the exhaust manifold. So the dump will fit up. But the centre housing is not as long, so the comp housing will move backwards. This will affect both the turbo inlet and the outlet. There is fab work that needs to be done. Yes. it has one, it should have one. Paper gasket.
