So new wheels and tires on and very happy.
But before I go into detail on that.
My adventure with tmps sensors.
I didn’t want to have to reuse old ones as I want those ready to go at any time I want.
However it seems nissan have locked them down on modern cars so you cannot get them...
Will report back after next motokana
Plus planning some more hill runs in next few weeks.
Mate just got his 4 door hq Monaro back on road and wants to do a high county run who am I to say no.
This is not my daily.
Plus I work from home so I do sub 10k km a year
Across currently 4 registered cars.
That said my mini has ad08r’s and was the daily at the time and was just fine (it’s hopefully going out the door now the z is here but typically broken again)
Those that swapped wheels.
did you move Tpms sensors or get new ones.
And if new where did you get them.
I’m keep to get new ones for the new rims so I don’t need to dismount the tires on the old ones.
So what sort of fuel economy are others getting.
So admit you I’m just in the run in process so I’m not bouncing of limiter or anything. But still do some hill runs and a few nice pulls.
Ie not hypermiling or anything.
I was expecting to be in the 12s
but I’m in the 9’s and dropping!
maybe the detuned them for AU crap fuel

or maybe they just rated them as 117 so it came in under their falcon 6 .......
I so lusted after those as a kid, made me first wonder to the magic of turbos.
considering you could have this with 132kw out of 1.8L
or at same time a base model EA falcon 3.2L had 90 KW from it's much bigger 6 cly
or if you spent more you gould get the bigger 6 3.9L in falcon with still only...
when I couldn't order blue/blue when I put my order in My second preference was white/red as well.
but I ended up deciding on BLue/Black as I really liked the blue.
when the press release for the MY24 came out saying blue interior was back on the cards I went and talked to dealer about...
It matches the exterior.
dealer talked to nisson, 1 of 2 blue interior cars delivered to AU.
it's def not for everyone and it is very blue.
but I love it, mainly as i'm still a 15 year old wise.
