Ive texted you regaurding the parts your after as i dunno how often you check on here,

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?

    • Meh, At 60 years old, I have been doing dumb stuff for much longer than you mate, I am the true King And unfortunately I cannot be a maroon, as I am not brownish red As for not getting ITB's, the plenum intake will apparently show typical gains across the board and increase induction noise a bit, but, have all over less dort than ITB's Cost difference for the extra ITB dorts was significant though, the total parts for the plenum set up is "around" $2kAUD plus shipping, the ITB's were $4kAUD plus shipping, I was contemplating really hard about paying the extra $2k for all of the dorts, but weirdly, some form of common sense, from listening to the platform experts prevailed  As for the NA mod hate by some, I've had a few boosted cars, with all their inherent issues, I'm now looking at simplicity and legalities for a street car, maybe I'm just getting old, and I'm quite happy to spend some of the kids inheritance, 5kw at a time 🤣 And think of all the money I'll be saving on consumables that something with boost needs, like engines, gearboxes, diffs, clutches,  tilt trays... etc. etc. etc. 🤪
    • Haha.  I wouldn't say I am either but I've definitely been around it plenty.  I'm guessing you know the dial in is basically to make a handicap to level the playing field between racers.  The car with the slower dial in goes first and in theory if they run their dial in time and the faster car also does then they cross the finish time if they also have exactly the same reaction time - if you go faster than the dial in them you lose, but if you are too slow there's a good chance the other person will get to the finish line first. I'm normally supporting other cars but they were all pretty dialled and were egging me on to race as well, here's one of the cars I tune (Starlet) which ran within like 1 hundredth of its dial in through the competition: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=inEBu-d9Gn4&t=69s
    • Where ever the fuel reg gets it reference is what I use to T into for map reference been a very long time so where it goes to plenum/runners I have no idea but never had issues. 
    • What ecu? Same shop every time? Same ambient temperature? If timing is correct then pull plugs and see if lean or rich. Dyno can also read different if they have changed ramp rate or not set tacho/speed properly  
    • I've never done dial in's just straight up, whatever that's called. I'm far from a drag (racing ) expert.
