Skyichigo, I have a set of 6 inch wheel barrow wheels that I was actually going to save for when I put 3 superchargers on my engine. I was told by a mate who sat in a car one time that Isami Amemiya uses them on all of his performance engines in Japan and swears that they help protect the engine when you're running 75psi. I will send you some pictures of his Touge Monster V8 RX7, its a tough looking machine but not as tough as his TRD R39 GTR V-Spec 3.

I have changed my mind and will leave the car stock for now but I can slap a few Ferrari Decals on them and do you a deal if you like? They cost me $6000 but I'll let you have them for $5000.

Also, with the stickers that you noticed where the wrong ones but still put on the car anyway, be careful when you take them off because you can completely mess up the handling of the car.

thx bro, but i am broke now.. so good luck for your sale :)

.... With the rims, I was thinking paint the wheels black.. as bigger rims f**k the engine ... thats my own old school opinion anyway, will consider it later..

Quoted for truth in my sig - that one is a keeper :D :D :D

You still haven't explained your logic behind that comment. Your opinion is that 'bigger rims f**k the engine', care to elaborate on HOW that occurs?

There is a difference between opinion and fact.

For the 4th time now, care to explain how 'bigger rims f**k the engine'? It may make a car slower, but WHERE does it state ANYTHING about causing engine problems? Handling problem, yes; it is NOT going to cause a piston to come flying out of your bonnet because you put 18" wheels on a car with 16" wheels standard.

Seriously, can this get moved to the Wasteland already for lulz?

it was when I did my RWC for my previous car, and when the mechanic look at my 19" rims. he said that the engine will work harder to run those big wheels and it's less space for the engine as well, and sometimes carrying too much heavy wheels on the car can possibly damage the engine mounting , and just by logic, you put bigger rims, your engine revs harder.. and imagine how long the engine life last compared to smaller rims.

And as for the discussion, just leave me alone already with my own small and peace world :)

Holy moley. I'm not going there with a 10-foot pole! Anyone else want to try? LOL.

I have to show some people that I know what you wrote, because they won't believe it when I tell them. I would of told that mechanic if he ever touched my car again, I would run him over with those 19" wheels and see how many RPM the engine would have to hit to mow his a** down. Thanks for the entertainment, you've been a good sport.

Best of luck with your TRD :)

hahaha.. just to confirm .. the TRD will be executed by tomorrow.. and I won't see it anymore for as long as I have the v35 ... long life to NISMO!! lol..

And as for the mechanic who told me this stuff, he is at collingwood, name Michael service centre, he is so gay that even a sticker on windscreen has to be removed to get a RWC...

Anyway glad I've joint this forum... it's fun here :)

Wow, just wow. Where to even start. That has got to be one of the stupidest things I have ever heard. I am willing to bet that either the mechanic there is completely retarded, or there is some language barrier here when you completely misunderstood what he said/meant.

Quoted in my sig again for truth

LULZ.

Telling by the use of incoherent English, this fella is an international uni student.

Brought up watching Initial D and playing too much Need For Speed...

BTW, if you ever want to sell your V35, sell it to an international uni student. They have NFI about cars. The chump I sold my V35 to, pulled out the dipstick and didn't know what to do with it. He had seen someone else doing it and assumed that it was something you had to do. ALSO, he gave me a call after a week of buying the car and told me that he had bent the fuel cover because he couldn't get it open when trying to fill up the car...:thumbsup:

That sticker on the windscreen...did it happen to be smack bang in the middle of the windscreen? If so then yes I completely agree with your mechanic it needed to be removed for RWC...I think your mechanic is a pretty switched on person.

As for the bigger wheels ruining your engine..I kinda agree too. I would personally recommend for best overall performance...15x7 +49 all round. No guard rolling neccessary.

For the sticker, it only sits on the top of the window, where it doesn't has anything to do with your driving's vision. And he said I might kill someone with that sticker on? LMAO.. Nah he just a dick who is jealous as young kids nowadays own better car than him.

Robert.....Sorry about how rude people are here!!!

Since you have only just purchased the car I am thinking that you may not have had the Flux Capacitor checked.....it will need a service as I will lay London to a brick the complier never checked it.....Japan runs a different spec of UF octane to Aus. That will help you in the long run with your gear changing.

Also don't forget to check the oil levels in the front Star rod every 10,000Km's as most FC's tend to leak very quickly due to the TT you will be doing!

HKS make a good flux capacitor...I got mine replaced with this 2 years ago and never had a problem.

Thanks for the advise guys.. anyone know where can I get a lowering done to my V35 in melbourne area? I rang up suspension city and they didn't know about V35..

And as for the flux capacitor, I am not sure yet, as the seller told me to do another service in next 2000-3000kms.

And any place to do service for this imported car in melbourne? like decent place?

Thanks

Can you clean your Flux capacitor with Carby cleaner or is it a straight swap... :)

nah you need to use red back spider urine. its the only stuff that will get it cleaned.

and TRD guy, you can get the car serviced at any McDonalds. the oil they use to fry the chips, is the best oil for your motor.

I was down at the TAB this afternoon putting some money on West Coast Vs Carlton and saw that Skyichgo is running at $1.01 to wrap his nice new TRD Skyline around a tree before he is old enough to drink!

Seriously though, does anyone else think that it is crazy for a young kid who cant figure out that + goes up a gear and - goes down a gear can afford a $25,000 car??? What happened to the good ole' days where you scraped together $2000 (if you were lucky!) and bought a piece of crap that had to be bump started every cold morning???

Its nothing personal against Skyichgo, but it scares me to think that there are people driving around in these relatively high powered cars at that age. Then again I'm probably just jealous because I can imagine the amount of "you know what" he will be getting in that car when I generally had the ladies pushing the car down the street so that I could take them home lol.

Well todays generation has money its not our fault we can afford nice cars at a young age for me this is thanks to a booming IT indusrty, im 22 driving a V bought it becaus it looks VIP, realisticly if you want speed get a R34 GTT 2JZ supra or a 1JZ chaser, and in Sky's defence triptronic can be a litte daunting if you have never used it before, i took my car to a industrial area to play with it as i had NFI how to use it. He has to be old enough to drink to drive the car in most cases also as P platers cant drive them even tho i did (wasnt aware of the law change when i bought the car).

    • Good afternoon Team , just a quick update on performance mods  Current Mods list (Installed) HKS - Power Editor (Came with the car) looks to be some kind of boost controller RV37 Skyline 400R (SKYLINE) | FUJITSUBO  - Cat Back  RV37 Skyline 400R (SKYLINE) | FUJITSUBO  - Front Pipe AMS  - INFINITI Q50/Q60 RED ALPHA COLD AIR INTAKE KIT AMS  - Performance Heat Exchanger Intercooler Not Yet AMS Alpha Performance Full Race Down Pipes  - to be installed in May 
    • I'd be installing 2x widebands and using the NB simulation outputs to the ECU.
    • Nah, it's different across different engines and as the years went on. R32 era RB20, and hence also RB26, the TPS SWITCH is the idle command. The variable resistor is only for the TCU, as you say. On R33 era RB25 and onwards (but probably not RB26, as they still used the same basic ECU from the R32 era), the idle command is a voltage output of close to 0.45V from the variable resistor.
    • It's actually one of the worst bits of Nissan nomenclature (also compounded by wiring diagrams when the TCU is incorporated in ECU, or, ECU has a passthru to a standalone TCU).... the gripe ~ they call it the TPS, but with an A/T it's actually a combined unit ...TPS (throttle position switch) + TPS (throttle position sensor).... ..by the looks of it (and considering car is A/T) you have this unit... https://www.amayama.com/en/part/nissan/2262002u11 The connector on the flying lead coming out of the unit, is the TPS (throttle position sensor) ...only the TCU reads this. The connector on the unit body, is the TPS (throttle position switch) ...ECU reads this. It has 3 possible values -- throttle closed (idle control contact), open (both contacts open, ECU controls engine...'run' mode), and WOT (full throttle contact closed, ECU changes mapping). When the throttle is closed (idle control contact), this activates what the patent describes as the 'anti stall system' ~ this has the ECU keep the engine at idling speed, regardless of additional load/variances (alternator load mostly, along with engine temp), and drives the IACV solenoid with PWM signal to adjust the idle air admittance to do this. This is actually a specific ECCS software mode, that only gets utilized when the idle control contact is closed. When you rotate the TPS unit as shown, you're opening the idle control contact, which puts ECCS into 'run' mode (no idle control), which obviously is a non-sequitur without the engine started/running ; if the buzzing is coming from the IACV solenoid, then likely ECCS is freaking out, and trying to raise engine rpm 'any way it can'...so it's likely pulling the valve wide open....this is prolly what's going on there. The signal from the connector on the flying lead coming out of the unit (for the TCU), should be around 0.4volts with the throttle closed (idle position) ~ although this does effect low throttle shift points if set wrong, the primary purpose here is to tell TCU engine is at idle (no throttle demand), and in response lower the A/T line pressure ... this is often described as how much 'creep' you get with shifter in D at idle. The way the TPS unit is setup (physically), ensures the idle control contact closes with a high margin on the TPSensor signal wire, so you can rotate the unit on the adjustment slots, to achieve 0.4v whilst knowing the idle control contact is definitely closed. The IACV solenoid is powered by battery voltage via a fuse, and ground switched (PWM) by the ECU. When I check them, I typically remove the harness plug, feed the solenoid battery voltage and switch it to ground via a 5watt bulb test probe ; thing should click wide open, and idle rpm should increase... ...that said though, if it starts & idles with the TPS unit disconnected, and it still stalls when it gets up to operating temperature, it won't be the IACV because it's unused, which would infer something else is winking out...  
    • In the context of cam 'upgrader' I mean generally people who upgrade headers/cams - not my specific change. I mean it makes sense that if I had a bigger cam, I may get more false lean readings. So if I went smaller, I'd get less false lean readings. To a point where perhaps stock.. I'd have no false lean readings, according to the ECU. But I'm way richer than stock. My bigger than normal cam in the past also was giving false rich leanings. It's rather odd and doesn't add up or pass the pub test. Realistically what I want is the narrowbands to effectively work as closed loop fuel control and keep my AFR around 14.7 on light sections of the map. Which is of course the purpose of narrowband CL fuel control. So if I can change the switch points so the NB's target 14.7 (as read by my WB) then this should be fine. Haven't actually tested to see what the changed switchpoints actually result in - car needs to be in a position it can idle for awhile to do that. I suspect it will be a troublesome 15 min drive home with lots of stalling and way too rich/lean transient nightmare bucking away for that first drive at 2am or whevener it ends up being. Hopefully it's all tune-able. Realistically it should be. This is a very mild cam.
