secured by 5 lugnuts with locking heads to the hub

so that would make the wheels worth half of what your car does chris :rofl:

That's actually pretty hot.

That'll look good when it's up and working.

Nice work :(

Shan your lights look better because you are keeping the red lens covers, so in the day time you will not see the LEDs.

Just my opinion: If you used the bigger LEDs and only set the LEDs in a ring (just like the e-bay items) it will look better. As i said just my opinion, no offence intended.

al, yeah I didn't notice the ebay ones were fully clear, which yeah, does look pretty ghey.

so you reckon instead of going for the stars I should go for rings? hmm will try photoshopping it to see what it looks like. Basically all I've done so far is replicate a set of nismo ones for the R34 using instructions I found in a jap magazine.

When the ebay lights are lit up (as above) they look good. Notice that the big LEDs are being used ;)

It's only when they are not lit up, then you could see the LEDs, with the red disk in the middle and chrome surround, that the ebay lights look shit.

if you're referring to my daily driver, then no, its about on par actually ;) but its serves its purpose, along with the other 2 cars I own :) I like to spread my assets.

lol shan, make me up some of those lights with the LED's ;)

I felt the same way when first got them actually I straight out didnt like em butt their growing on me and they do look like retro rockets.Only downside is getting a red globe that doesnt shine pinky or brown which isnt easy to find.

And S%$t i didnt cover the no plate up even though not sure why its done.

Chk out the afterburner lights i put on a 300zx im just doing.72 of them nearly make your eyes bleed if your tailgating. :crazy: :crazy:

    • Finally replaced the previous temporary mesh indicator surrounds (temporary was the last 10+ years 😂) with a 3D printed GTR style version for the front indicators. I think it looks a lot nicer than the old setup and at least the indicators now point in the correct direction rather than angled off. Needed a little bit of tweaking to deal with the intercooler piping but got there in the end. Old and new photos below. 
    • It's weird to me that you say this because I'm pretty sure locals with relatively standard standalone tunes (boost/barometric compensated alpha-N) still have driveability issues when they pop intercooler hoses. Maybe with enough data I can just train some kind of model that spits out an expected grams/cyl given every sensor input except MAF like what FCA did with their Pentastar 3.6 ECU logic. Basically stock everything. The main motivation honestly is to have a sensor that can be a decent baseline source of truth. In scenarios you're describing obviously it won't work every time but it seems to me the number of corner cases that exist in MAF load is maybe not as severe and difficult to manage vs ITB alpha-N with some MAP/barometric compensation.
    • What are your plans for your blow off valves? Purely plumb back? How soft will the spring in them be? AFM can be tricky to get super smooth and nice, especially depending on the rest of the system, and then can be very easily upset if something slightly changes. IE, even if you run recirc blow off valves, you could still see issues getting it to behave at certain load points as turbos might start to spool, but you release the throttle but it's not enough pressure to crack the bov open to recirc, and you can end up with reversion which can cause double metering, and hence dumping of fuel into the system, and stalling the engine.   If you're going to run a map sensor for closed loop boost control from the ECU, what makes you want to keep the AFM?    
    • It's not bad, it's just not flexible. And say if you have any leaks between the MAF and plenum, well then your load axis goes out the window. Here's a real world scenario, I blew off an intercooler hose last track day, as the clamp decided to Bluetooth itself somewhere. Still continued to do 2 laps and drive it to the pub for a couple of beers then home. Good luck doing that with a MAF setup 
    • Is MAF load really that bad? I'm not trying to do big power, my only real desire is VCAM and flex fuel support so I'm not terrified of blowing my engine apart from CA's appalling 95 RON "premium" fuel. Stuff like playing with closed loop boost control and really dialing in my transient fueling and ignition are frankly just to prove to myself I remembered something from uni.
