Widths, offsets and tyre size/brand?

Thought it might be better to have similar pics in the same light/angle etc

Google 'arch enemy', think they only charge around £80

Yeah :( you see the pic of them on Luke's site? They are in the din slot gauge mount pics. What's even worse is I'm about to shell out on another load of gauges! :lol:

I'd say, take some pics of your current wheels before you fit these, then take the same pics with the new wheels fitted, then start a new thread with a poll for which to use. Naturally, then fit the wheels with the least votes :rofl:

Yeah they still sell them, the reason I know is I saw them on the site the other day and noticed a pic with my digital gauges in :D

I thought i got that gauge in degrees C?

What a bizarre philosophy? You must be loaded?.. And have lots of time in your hands :D

A colour change repaint, with kit fitting (wide arch?) I would have thought you would start the counting at 5k?

I think I'll make it my first trip tbh. Any advice on monitoring?

Cool, just wasn't sure if I would need to trailer it to be mapped.

Not an ideal solution for me tbh

Good plan. I'll use mechanical gauges and run the pipes up the back of the seat so I also get heated seats.

Thanks for the input lads. I have a 555 chip that came with the injectors but I'll be sticking with boost jets for now (possibly forever!). So if I fit this 555 chip at the same time as the injectors, I can just get in and drive it?

Hi all, The time has nearly come (finally) to unlock some more power on my zed. I want to up the boost post fitment of nismo 555's but I am unsure of what should/could be done in preparation. Quick overview/current spec: Jimmer build ('07) with forged internals, Z1 GT525 turbochargers, Greddy SMIC intercoolers, divorced downpipes, decat, mongoose quad exit, apexi intake, koyo rad, Andy P chip. This spec produced 365fwhp @ 9psi and Charlie at Surrey rolling road said that all the vitals were good. So the next step was to wind up the boost, however, the duty cycle @ 9psi was touching 90% according to datscan (accurate?). I now have some nismo 555 injectors but I have a few questions. Once fitted (leaving everything else as is), will the car run and drive as normal without any mapping etc? Will I need a specific map to match my spec? I'm pretty sure when Andy P did my chip me gave me a basic boost upgrade map due to my tubbies creating more power at stock psi, but I take it that I'll need a new one to match? What advise do you have regarding monitoring? I'll have aftermarket, accurate gauges to replace the stock setup but what else should I consider or definitely have? I have a live datascan feed to a screen in the dash, is this acceptable/accurate to monitor AFR or any other useful parameters available? I will be using boost jets to up the boost to a fixed level and will keep an eye on the spikes. What is a sensible pressure to aim for with this setup for a safe, reliable (lol) power? Also, at this pressure, what is the general consensus of the initial boost spike using jets, ie what is it likely to peak at before it settles to a set pressure? This will help decide what boost gauge scale range to use in order to monitor the spike. Apologies for the amount of questions and thank you for taking the time to read them, any advice or suggestions welcomed. CheerZ

An award for worst car mod that's battered and bruised is quite fitting! IMO it should've been presented to you like that! :lol:

I wanna hear this noise!

Laaaaaaaaaa-aaaaaaaaa-aaaaaaaag!

It won't necessarily make it massively loud Howard. I have decats with a mongoose exhaust and the sound is very tame. I think the exhaust you fit will play a bigger role in 'volume'.

Intrigued!

Very nice! Any idea what the offset and width of the front wheels are?

Just can't work out where to put the additional gauges that won't fit in the cluster. I can't stand pillar pods and I don't have a din slot free :(

Sorry rolandas, not a fan of them, they have them wired smoked black domes over the top and only come with brushed aluminium bezels. Zedwizz, I like them! They are not exactly what I was looking for but they are nice and simple and have an oem flavour. I'm considering buying the job lot to replace all the dials so they match. CheerZ :)

I'm stuck in a Russian prison :( with wifi :)
