yeh they wont fit. well they will but they are average as far as drivability goes.
i've got 17x5 on mine and it grabs the front guards when you turn thats with 40 profile tyres. It was lowered so raised it back up (took out chopped srings from previous owner and put in low king springs which drop it by 30mm from standard) and still same that and it drives like a pig. but that could be cause they are cheep rims are are really heavy so they throw the dynamics of the car out. so might work with new stock springs..

oh and it's turbo and is running 10psi and a D4s computer what size injectors would be suitable? i think it's overfueling or can i crank the timing right up to compensate, is currently running about 19-20 degrees btdc and isn't pinging? that i can hear anyway.... i have no idea what the internals are all i know is that it's got an arp stud kit and nismo head gasket.

I've got a really crude injection set up on an A14, has anyone had experience with any setups that have been effective, can be accurately tuned and a little easier on the eye that a barstardised throttle body with no idle air bypass welded onto a standard manifold with two injectors in the manifold and two just before the throttle body therefore not allowing a lot of options for fuel rails other than rubber fuel line.... also what heads came on A14's and what would be best suited to this application?

re. diff.. I don't want to blow up the original ute diff and then it be impossible to find another whereas 120y diffs are everywhere.
I think the 5 speed i have is a 60? Is there such a thing, i could go check but cold out and cbf'd. if so your saying this box will not handle the extra power..saying that i'm generally fairly rough on g/boxes so a T50 would prob be the smarter option?

A few quick questions, will a 5 speed handle the power of an A14 turbo?
-Is there a off the shelf gearbox Xmember to fit a 5 speed to a 1200 ute?
-Will the shifter come through the floor in the same place?
-Will a 120y diff fit a 1200 ute(don't want to break the original) and handle a locker?

i've got an a14 injected intercooled turbo in a 1200 ute. much larger 3 core radiator, no engine fan and a 12 inch thermo on only one corner of the rad. when tuning at idle engine gets quite hot (on standard guage) the old a12 had a smaller 3 core rad and would idle all day without getting hot. when driving the temp creeps up but have never let it overheat, does anyone think there may be a misdirection of flow cause its cooling the turbo as well? my concern is it might not be cooling the whole system cause the heater isn't as hot as i think it should be. i've got a 80lt per min eletric w/p and big #OOPS# off thermo to go on but pointless if one end of the motor cooks. the branch off the outlet(near the current water pump has a t piece that is plumbed to the turbo feed and the heater. so yeh if anyone can comment
