Lol they look similar to the BBS RG-R's you sold me :P

Hahaha yep, regretted selling the BBS wheels since that day. This was the next best thing I could do haha

shiieeet. hope you got air suspension in there.

Not sure if serious orrrrrr....... :P

they are 20's????? f**k me. commos just swallow massive rims.....

VE arches are huge

Like the 300C, only 22s will fill them

Was considering 22s but a few things stopped me:

1: 22s with decent offsets don't exist

2: With the bags aired out, the 22s would foul on everything, including bumper brackets

3: 22s make the VE look like a matchbox car. TBH 21" would be the perfect size, but they hardly exist lol

20s are fine and much more practical; was speaking strictly in terms of filling guards if it was the desired effect.

was serious haha. question answered.

Oops, sorry bud! I talk that much shit about them that I thought everybody knew hahaha :cheers:

All good mate. Yeah, 22s would defiently fill the guards out better from a side-on profile view, but angle the camerea to 3/4 rear or 3/4 front view and it becomes obvious they tuck way too much and don't fill out the guards properly. Had my time with tucking and wanted something different so tried to get the guards filled out witha bit of "flushness" (dirty word haha)

Not rare, I do see them pop up every now and then.

I believe Import Monster have a set in 18x10 at the moment.

    • It makes you wonder, all these people starting to make a billet replacement head, I wonder if any have thought about trying to adapt tech from newer engines into them. You're already at the full design stage to make a billet head... Why not really spice it up and had some more modern tech into the mix too...
    • Connect all the plumbing up properly. The actual worst part about having the turbo unable to actually build boost, is you can and likely would over soon the turbo if you drove the car (free rev while stationary isnt likely to manage it).   If you do have an air leak as Duncan suggested, you'll have a bad time as the AFM will be saying different to reality.   As you have had the engine out, I'd go over all electrical connections again. If you have a consult cable, plug it in, and see what the ECU thinks is going on. Did you touch the timing belt? If so, double check your timing on the gears is correct AND put a timing light on it while it's idling and see what ignition setting you have. Is the AFM you've installed the one that was in the car previously? You said you replaced seals, what seals exactly? What have you had apart?   From memory when I had my RB25DET with factory throttle, there was two plugs the TPS plug on the loom could go to. One would leave the car running like shit, the other made it work, I think one plug on the TPS area was for something else (an option). It's too many years since I saw that part of the loom to remember properly though.   Is the car idling smooth (as smooth as an RB can)? Does it smell fuelled up?   I have a feeling either timing in timing belt is off, or a sensor isn't right.
    • Theres still skid pan and motokhana days up in QLD at least that are $100 or less. The ones that are ran as "driver training" less so, they're expensive, but just normal skid pan days like SAU ran are still low cost. And thats one of the places I learned to be a lariken, purely by asking for passenger rides, and how people were doing crazy things. Reese gave me plenty of pointers back in the day for skid pan! And yes Duncan, I will never forget your pointers for track work. Especially after Neil got out saying "I am NEVER getting in the car with him again!" 😛
    • 49719 is the cooler loop. Right at the front, LHS of that diagram. Return line from rack (LP side) goes to cooler loop on RHS front of car, then back under engine and returns to bottom of tank. 49717M is feed from tank to pump. HP line out of pump is thick rubber, followed by the hard line that runs down to crossmember and runs in parallel (but opposite flow direction) to the LP return line. Nothing goes anywhere near the firewall or interior of car. The closest they get to that is the connections on the rack.
