hey guys, i just bought a repairable writeoff r32 gtr which is nearly ready to be registered and i need to find some rims but i've been told that there aren't many rims around that will clear the brakes on the front?? anyone know what i must specify to a tyre shop so they can find me some rims that will? btw i'm not willing to shave the caliper either. Any help would be much appreciated :P

If you dont care about looks or grip a set of r33 gtst stockies will clear the brakes (if you need it to pass rego). Proof? Ive had a set on my gtr, looked shit and didnt get much traction in rwd but yeah

Or R32 GTR stockies? or even R33 GTR stockies? (if you're doing it on the cheap ring up powerplay in sydney they do copies)

There's so many rims that will fit nicely though its hard to tell what style you like, in addition to the offer posted by Ryan;

Get some stock R32 Gt-R rims. They are cheap, plentiful & the tyres to go with them will also be cheap.

Far, far better than any imported Chinese chromie shit you may find in most tyre shops.

Failing that a good second hand Japanese rim in 17". 17*9+22 is the best size for a 32. 18's are ok too.

yeah if i had the money i would. i can get a set of impul 18x8's brand new for $1800 but i don't wanna splash out on wheels cause i might need the money i've got saved for other things. what about a set of ba falcon rims off a fpv? they come with brembo's so they'd have no trouble fitting over the gtr's brakes right?

Since its a jap car stick with jap wheels looks better holds the value better.

17" wheel will fit over std brakes and best performance and general driving wheel.

18" x 10.5 with anything from +15 to +22 offset will fit 32GTR. This is my fav choice as you can now upgrade the brakes to sometihng bigger such as brembo f150 and they look dam sexy :-)

19" only if you can afford it, and you want the bling factor, oh and if you are able to fit them and no performance or driving value.

18" x 10.5 with anything from +15 to +22 offset will fit 32GTR. This is my fav choice as you can now upgrade the brakes to sometihng bigger such as brembo f150 and they look dam sexy :-)

Thats very big for r32!

Hows the tyre scrub?

    • Ok gotcha, so one post to fpr  another to bov  and I have the mishimoto boost controller and a link g4+ so I’d just have the tuner set it up properly. For the last two from plenum post throttle to  ecu/ boost controller, I know that I have a hose coming from the ecu that I was confused about so I assume that’s what connect to the boost controller from the ecu? And then the last is just from plenum to boost controller then to wastegate?
    • From there, it was just a quick electrical check, prime the oil and start her up Which, is not what happened. 1. Bloody seppo Aeropro battery holder. Not only was it too tall for the battery (which I'll forgive them for, I have another battery the same nominal size that is taller than Neil's one, but the bracket is a fixed height so the battery was spaced up) But the thing that really shits me is the hardware to hold it on requires a 7/32 Hex key. WTF. No-one will ever be able to remove or install the damn thing without a hex key they don't own 2. Kill switch no longer worked once the console was installed. Neil mentioned above he had to adjust the length but it no longer cleared the console once installed. Sorted. 3. Suspiciously, the brake light holders were hanging in the boot with no globes. Sure enough the stopper on the brake pedal was missing so they are always on unless the kill switch is activated. Will pick one up tomorrow (turns out 32 and 33 don't use the same stopper) 4. All that sorted, I turned on the kill switch, turned the key to ACC. Nothing. Turned it to IGN. Nothing. Checked some fuses and found the main IGN in the boot was missing which improved things once it was replaced. Now ECU and dash lights turn on with IGN but still no fuel pump. 5. Turned it to Start....ECU on, no fuel pump, no starter. Plus the voltage dropped straight to 9v.  I suspect the starter is f**ked but am going to have to work through it all and see what is happening, really looks like more than one issue. Does anyone have the R33 fuse box key with the circuit it sources from (eg BAT, ACC, IGN, SRT etc) and supplies? I can find a translated list showing Amps and circuit without supply circuit, and I can find supply circuit without Amps and target circuit.
    • 3rd time lucky, the AAC is now all plumbed up after getting some final fittings All set up under the plenum of maximum access
    • OK, so the weight has been bugging because it was really low. I did it again today and got a more believable answer at 1246 without driver And with a 93kg driver I'm pretty sure the car was still slightly on the quickjack last time meaning the full weight was not on the scales
