[bjk]

Someone had a black vR wing for sale on facebook recently, could get away with using it as is, or respraying.

any pics?

^This!
Still keen to see how those wheels fit. Should test the 10.5s up front, turn em full lock and send me some pics of whether it fouls on anything lol

[adzski]

i will have a look.

Yeah i will eventually do it. i know I've promised you a few times. once i put them back together ill take some pics

[bjk]

Aye, found a facelift bar eh? Should be good when it's all together.

Car is running now, was the crank angle sensor again.

Good news! Bet you're glad that's finally sorted.

[adzski]

Yeh was wrapped when I picked it up.

However still not running right, think I have a vac leak, car won't ideal correctly.
And rpm not working need to check IFS again.

[adzski]

fitted the new boot and CF gpvr spoiler.
Fixed the rev gauge issue.
Fitted the garnish
Fitted strut braces

car still won't idle though.

will tackle idle issue and facelift bar next weekend, maybe the extractors if i get time.

Also purchased a CF stereo surround.

Will take some pics next week.

[adzski]

Put new front bumper on this weekend.

Will take some pictures soon.

[bjk]

Progress. (Y) You'll have to update your sig soon enough.

[adzski]

Havent touched car in a while. been sitting in the drive way.

Current issues are it wont idle. think it is due to the stepper. going to clean the throttle body and the stepper.

Still have not sand blasted the wheel faces.
Front still needs to be sprayed to match rest of the car.

New parts
CF gear surround
CF hydro dipped aash cluster and surround.
Camber arms

Slowly getting rid of all the ricey painted blue sh*t.

things that will be getting done next are
. Fitting extractos and y pipe
. rebuild wheels
. Spray front end
. Allignment
. Rear wheel bearing is on its way out
. general maintenance

Actually going to update with pics, after my exam on tuesday

[bjk]

Your list looks about as long as mine.

[adzski]

hahaha them feels.

hows is your big brake setup?

When you going to get some crazy spec wheels? been waiting for you randomly just be like bought wheels with like 11J -10 offset

[bjk]

Evo stuff is going on next Sunday with any luck. Given it has the Brembos on it already I'm not expecting a massive change, but it will have new rotors, pads and a reco on calipers. Plus interested to see handling benefit of alloy arms and vR subframe.

No crazy wheels just yet lol. I wanna get the ECU first. Plus I have the INVOs on the VII Enkeis and also a set of 17" RE003s to wear out. I'm tempted to see if anyone has a spare lot of wheels in the spec I want just to see how they fit.

Yours should look good when they're all on! Flaring the rears somehow?

[adzski]

will follow your build, for updates
yeh i want to basiacally replace everything for handling also, in time i guess for me.

hahaha wheels always pop up. look at japan auctions, shipping is pricey though. but the wheels there are crazy.

Yeh excited to get them back on. Car looks so gimpy with stockies, but not missing the defects.
Might flare it not sure. i rolled the rears as much as i could without f**king the paint. will have to see how it sits once i put some camber on the rear, might not rape my inner guard wells anymore hopefully. i think it will be fine though only a 235/45/17 on the rear didnt scrub that bad. front give me no issues

Really tempted to get a step lip for all 4 wheels, but couldnt fit 18s.
Was a really nice of SSR SP1 with decent spec but dont think i could fit them with out cutting my guards.

[bjk]

Yeah, I'm thinking I wanna get a new set again, and just be veeery careful with them haha. Don't want to spend a really stupid amount of money either, so that narrows options down a bit. There were some nice things in the Import Monster shop a while back, but yeah, almost as expensive as other new things.

Depends how much camber you can tolerate I suppose haha. It's still gonna poke like 2-3cm IIRC.

I'd love a set of S1 or S1R Work Meisters, but pricey as hell for decent widths and offsets.

[adzski]

I think my stepper motor is fucked. car idles fine on cold start but when it warms up it dies when i stop at a set of lights.
I pulled it out and cleaned it. took it for a drive and it still idling poorly.
I think it most likely is the stepper motor? anything else that could cause it?

anywhere in AUD that sells them?
Can only find it on ebay below, however it is in the UK.
