I understand. Just meaning that if people have managed to turbo charge big block v8s then it shouldn't be an issue on a straight 6

I usually wear cons and they aren't exactly fat shoes.

Make some room in the engine bay by repositioning various items and maybe moving the battery etc if it's in there. If you low mount the turbo below return sump line you may need to go dry sump. There have been a lot of USA based turbo conversions on american muscle who actually mount the turbo at the rear near the exhaust. Requires oil pump mods etc but despite the distance of the charge pipes, they do get surprisingly good results. That is because they really can't fit anything else in the engine bay with an alloy v8 in there.

What SC did you use and what pulley system? Must be quite custom to only put out 3psi

Is this a cast iron block? If so don't worry too much about a rebore. If you decide to clean up the bore then you may need oversize pistons and rings to suit. Most aftermarket piston and ring manufactures hold stock of slightly larger pistons etc because most rebuilds do include a bore hone.

The computer will have a set map. For the air detected coming in through the air flow meter the ECU will fuel to suit. If you turbo or FI without tuning then it is likely that the factory ECUs will not understand a flow rate higher than atmo and flip directly to a safe mode.

If you install larger injectors you will most likely over fuel according to the amount of increase in the injector size.

The signal to the injectors will be to open x time per air intake. If your injector is larger the same signal is sent but due to the larger injector more fuel will go in. Not the best situation.

If you are running a targa car I would suggest a standalone computer and tune.

And then you would be able to remove the cat and tune to suit.

just offer him a decent amount dont be tight if your really serious. or offer yours and cash . i think his ones looks soo much nicer

called him and spoke to him. he'll think about it overnight. we'll see.

Do the 10 button ones have the wiring to the left indicator stalk button to change between the modes?

The pedals are too close together! Perhaps I'm too used to my skyline but my left foot keeps snagging on the side of the footrest.

I can tell it's not just me because the carpet is almost worn through on that particular corner!

I haven't pulled the carpet up yet to see if I can remove it or make it smaller .. Anyone done that before?

a mate of mine has this car for sale , but he will sell the wheels seperatly if someone wants to buy them

staggered type i think?

Hi thanks I have already emailed him about buying them but he has not replied with a price. He also wants to sell the car first .. If you can convince him otherwise that would be great haha

I could be interested in buying your wheels when you find a new set. If you wanted to sell...

sure if I do not make a straight trade, I will be in touch for selling my current wheels - good condition and staggered.

I will be in touch if it happens. I may be willing to sell the rim to offset the price of new mags.

any idea what you;d pay for them? private message me.

The ones I have are black with polished lips.

Ah i see, so they would need to get stripped, repolished and recovered.

I will probably hold off for now. my tires are pretty much brand new and going to 7.5's on the rear would mean my 245s would not fit.

I may pick up one front if it comes to that (if I can find another set)

Have 3 if you can find a fourth.

Hi Ray,

what did you mean by painted black in the middle? are the wheels completely black?

Cheers

Ken

Hi Ray

That works out perfect .. maybe. My spare is a M Contour 2. But which ones do you have? They are staggered I think .. Hope I have the right one to complete a set!

is it for E36?

im not to familiar with them as much as i am on E30s, but on E30 you need the loom too as they are not factory wired for the OBC, and worth very little without the loom. someone with more E36 knowledge will know if this is true for E36 too.

sorry, it is for an e36.

The indicator stalk has all the wiring however i dont know if the obc has the req wiring.

I have an 18 button OBC along with the indicator stalk with the connections which allow you to access the OBC from the stalk.

how much is something like this worth? I know that the 10 button ones go for 40-50$ and that the 18 button ones are more expensive, but not sure how much, especially with the special indicator stalk as well?

Thanks

I have these wheels on my m3

and I want these ones

happy to do a straight swap (preferred) or just purchase the second image wheels.

Thanks

I'm not saying it's the case with this car but in my personal experience cars get a full re-spray for only a few of reasons:

1. Following extensive damage repair...

2. When the kid with his cap on sideways wants something a little more 'dope'.

3. Full restoration - usually the same colour is used.

True story:

3rd owner was a woman who purchased the car for her eccentric older Italian husband. They had money. The husband decided he absolutely hated the technoviolet colour (WHYY?~?~) and put down $5,000 to repaint the car. It took 6 months and everything was repainted apart from the engine bay which would have cost another 1k to drop the engine etc. everything else was painted, all glass, lights, interior etc were removed for the respray.
