Ok so those injectors I got of you all those years ago required a resistor pack, But not knowing, being a noob at the time. Didn't realize I was running way to low resistance on the injector drivers in the ecu. which requires a minimum of 2.5ohms, Hit the ecu with a multimeter yesterday. the ecu has 4 inj drivers so you can do up to a 8 cylinder, I'm just using the first 3inj drivers split up in pairs. Anyway Inj driver one is showing 6k resistance and the other two are showing open circuit, So by the looks inj 1 now has a fault and thats why it can't run correct a/f's anymore. But we hit it with a oscilloscope thinking with a stuffed inj driver the output pulse would be different from those two injectors to the rest. But they were all identical, So... yea e-mailed haltech australia and they still repair them. Cheers guys, yea two will need repairing if I want them to (look good) but roll straight and true as it is. Got them for $450 of a dude down west Auckland. Na they're not of a vx newer than that, hub holes will need machining.

Looks to me like the wheels are 19 inchers are off a VY GTS. They should not need machining to fit - it's only VE onwards that need to be done. To make the little centre caps fit on the front however, you will need to smack the bearing cap nice and flat, and remove some of the plastic from behind the HSV badge. The centre caps will not quite clip into the centres otherwise.
