Gtr's Rim-job...

HI all,

After reading James's updated thread showing off his new rims, I couldn't resist doing the same thing.

Some of you know the hassles I went through last year trying to get a set of track rims sent from Japan....for those that don't...lets just say that I first ordered a set in April 2006!!! As it worked out, this turned into a bit of a blessing as I sold my gtst and bought my gtr.

After doing a little research, I settled on the size and after deciding on a manufacturer was left with two options...the CE28N's or the new RE30's. When I was given a great deal on the brand new RE30's my choice was made :(

See the results below (note the lack of front lip is due to it getting a 'refresh' :mellow:).......

Awesome rims there mate, damn they're wide! With all that rubber under your car you better make sure you dont break your gearbox, thats alot of grip!

Gotta love the dark GT-R's with bronze rims :(

Thanks for all your comments....its probably a bit sad but I can't walk past my garage without sneaking another look :(

As for breaking the gearbox....with the power I'm making (or lack of) the extra grip shouldn't break it anytime soon, although being a 2nd hand car you can't be too sure of the condition.....I'm more worried about the extra strain on the clutch which is on its way out.

Ferni....Its pretty stock atm....running around the 260awkw mark. Suspension wise...it has HKS coilovers and a couple of minor tweaks. My aim for this car will be grip/handling first and power later.

Al....I did although that wasn't intentional.....only got back on the 3rd of March and have been flat out sorting jobs and unpacking! Would love to make the meet tues night but prob won't happen...but I will be at the membership renewal on the 24th.

    • People still have Skylines? I thought they're non-existent now. 
    • Harness update time have had great fun and learnt so much already so far with this project. I started off making both the ignition and injector sub harnesses in the hope any mistakes i made here aren't as hard to undo and learn from as the main harness.  A cool comparison of the old harness using presumably TXL wire and the new which is using Tezel. Also opted to use DTM plugs to keep the whole setup as neat and tidy as possible and tucked the wiring under the coil bracket to try and keep it all from sticking out too much. Although the injector harness, I'm not overly happy with as I'm still using the rubber boots that are supplied with the type of plugs it just looks ugly and sticks out like a sore thumb with the white identifiers so a slight redesign may be done.   Then it was main harness time and most importantly trying to route it nice and away from the heat it will use the OEM heater hose routing which is no longer present to keep the harness up high and secure. it's amazing how much smaller this harness is able to be compared to the old one. plugged everything into the emtron and with the help of the tuner again attempted to start it up and instantly fired up and running smoothly on all 6 which was a big shock to myself. So still some routing and adjusting to be done for the final fit up and installing a knock sensor harness plug which is in the post all has gone surprisingly well.     The old harness for shits and giggles.
    • They do that at random every now and then, with almost no detectable cause. Mine has done it a couple of times (over 25 years!!). Never worked out why.
    • I don't post on here and have been lurking for some time now. Many of the topics have helped me out more times than i can count. I was racing yesterday (11/9) and blew a front right CV shaft. I have spares so I popped a new one in. A thread i read previously said to check the engine mounts if you blow a front CV. Upon inspection, the front right mount was completely separated from the upper plate. This discovery saved me time and money, because i would have blown another CV if i went back out. Just wanted to thank you guys and wish everyone luck with with their builds. (Now if we could only come up with a solution for my power steering belt flying off after hitting the rev limiter, lol)
    • Either way he still need those style of spacer to go into the manifold because the photo he currently has is not going to work
