ok so im most likely goin to sell the eurolines to fund a set of wheels that fit better

thinkin these

RPF1SILVER.jpg

RPF1BLACK.jpg

in 17x8.5+30 and 17x9+30

rears will basically perfect fronts will sit in a bit but i have no issues with runnin spacers.

what does everyone think?

  • 3 weeks later...

top ones? as in the silver enkei?

thats pretty much what ive decided on haha. but possibly 9+30 for the rear. gonna test fit some wheels clost to them specs soon and see how they sit.

also shimmed up the diff tonight.

1 x 1.4mm shim, instant locker.... wasnt plannin on it bein a locker but ohwell haha

least it wont single spin like it was haha

oh lol.

yeah id like meisters..

but findin a decent set (ie thatll fit without touchin my gaurds) isnt gonna be easy i assume.

its a long way off yet either way. need to sell the eurolines before i make any serious moves to get new wheels.

  • 1 month later...

ok so eurolines are sold.

now back to the search for wheels haha.

found a set of panasports in 8/9 +20 and +30ish.

for aout 600...

but yeah gonna keep lookin to see if anythin cool comes up.

wouldnt mine a set of meisters/professors.

still avnt gotten the recaros in yet haha.

probs just gonna buy some new rails i think instead of waiting to have my current recaro rails modified.

also still having issues with the laurel having a hesitation between 1500-3500 rpm.

ive bypassed the knock sensors and its still happening. currently lookin for an r32 rb20 ecu so i can have it nistuned and see wtf is happening.

anyone know of one laying around?

    • Hey all, my 2004 Nissan Skyline 350GT overheated the other day with coolant boiling and leaking out of the coolant reservoir when I was parking. So today, I started it up again just to see if it was a thermostat/head gasket issue. After about 20 mins of running, temps were normal again, no coolant was leaking out and the upper reservoir hose was warm but my engine suddenly cut off. I checked the oil dipstick and cap when it was running and there was no white foamy residue and the exhaust did not have white smoke. I tried starting up the car again but it would only crank, similar to when I had a camshaft sensor issue just that now there’s no check engine light on the dash. Any ideas? Unfortunately I don’t have an OBD2 that can read the Nissan's programme.
    • Bump on this to not make another post, had a ‘head drain’ leak on me and have the engine out as we speak. Planning on just putting a new freeze plug back in , plug the tapped holes and just be done with that headache.    Now I still want to relieve pressure to allow oil to pass down the blocks returns easier. I’ve seen catch cans with multiple vents help folks with this issue on this forum.  I’m wanting to make my own. I have some pictures here of my setup if anyone can help how I should plumb and design the catch can I would deeply appreciate it !   rb25 Oil upgrades: 1.0mm restrictor n1 pump/billet gears extended crank collar  extended sump with trap doors/w welded fitting    
    • The Frenchy's kit is the way to go forward. A modern compressor that weighs about 1/2 as much, is at least twice as efficient, and will do a good job on R134a. And of course the kit has everything else you need to connect it up and have it work properly.
    • Hey all , I am in the process of having the AC system in my r32 GTST converted from r12 to r134a and I’m being told my compressor has gone bad and I will need a new one. I was wondering if anybody has any suggestions for what is the best route to go aside from dropping $1500 on a new oem one? I did see that Frenchy’s performance garage offers a kit to mount a Toyota compressor, has anybody actually used this kit on their car? Or is there anywhere I could purchase just a clutch? Any help is appreciated.
    • Well, your RB20 ECU loom won't have wires for the boost solenoid, that boost sensor, and possibly one or two other things. There could be differences in seemingly random things like the charcoal canister purge solenoid, because the 25DET has to handle boost in the vacuum system and the 20DE does not. I don't know - I haven't looked. It is very likely that all the most important things are same-same, being the main sensors like AFM, CAS, etc, and the injectors and ignition. Not that you'll need the AFM for the Haltech anyway. I would suggest that you would seriously want to sit down with the pinouts for both ECUs and just go through them and highlight green what is the same, orange what is different/missing, and make a plan from there. It's not going to be difficult. It will either be the same or need to be fixed.
