Personally speaking... I find the stock R35 GTR rims look more tough... that's just me though.

Those rims look pimp as (bling factor)! How much better would they look if the fronts had as much dish as the rear; just like previous GTRs.

I'm sure other manufacturers are working on new rims for the GTR.

I still like the std rims; so far the best looking factory rim to come out of the Nissan production line

Expect a LOT more of this... baller is the way to go to sell cars these days. The 300C was the first car to sell itself on big diameter wheels, Nissan have just copied a winning idea.

Think about what we have. An automatic, big wheel, big power, hitech Mustang with Nissan Handling and build quality.

Agreed on the Ferrari look, other people may not, but they probably don't realise that virtually every Ferrari in Japan is white.

gold sewid... pure gold.

then again, it kinda looks OK in that wheel arch... kinda like how a 22" looks quite normal on a Chrysler 300.

BTW have you guys in japan noticed this new trend of white cars with black wheels, and WHITE wheel lips?

100% agree. This will be massive in the states. 22" + rims and chopped springs. It's a shame.

i dunno if the electronic dampners will like the idea of chopped springs.

I really would have thought that with the size of the brakes on the R35 Nissan wouldnt have had any other choice than to fit 20s to it...

As for those pics :D

Nissan has copied jack shit. There's a performance reason why they went for 20's, like there is a performance reason Porsche went with 19's for the 997 Turbo. They're not thinking, geez, this will get me in the good books with 50 cent :D

*sigh* they just don't get it. This is such an aesthetically "japanese" car, i mean, the head designer was referencing anime/manga for goodness sake! These crappy 22's work on euro's, but they DON'T work on such a japanese styled car.

Rims are shit

I'm not surprised they've got to 22s already, those stock tyres were something like 248/45/20 which is still a very high sidewall. I can't be stuff doing the maths but even 23" might be possible with the right tyres.

good luck finding decent tyres in 245/??/22.....probably custom?

      R32 Skyline Handbrake Question

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      That's f**ked up. I'd guess it's more likely that you have an entire S13 subframe in there. Does it still have HICAS mounting points? Seeing as it is quite possible that yours is the only such converted car in the world, you'll probably struggle to find someone who can tell you from direct experience. 'Twere I you, I'd be looking for 4 stud Skyline rear brakes and convert back. At a minimum. Preferably go find all the stuff you need to put it back to 5 stud (assuming you're happy to change wheels) and upgrade to some decent brakes. You don't even need much stock stuff. Don't need calipers or rotors, as you can go fully aftermarket. Just needs hubs and the other bits and bobs that are different to what you have now.

      R34 GTT idle problem

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The engine has nothing to do with it. The physical space behind the headlight is the limiting factor. And the height. The height of the NS70 is the same as stock. So the clamp bar across the top goes on nice. The battery tray is big enough for it to sit on. The X is for extra capacity - it has even more lead in it than the non-X NS70. Heavy f**ker. But it's not a track car, so I will suffer a couple of extra kg. In the case of the R34, maybe the physical space there is not as deep (forward-backward, not up down). Hence why they say the 60 is the biggest. But I would never trust a catalogue to tell me what will fit. I have the car. I have the existing battery. I have the tape measure. I have the dimensions of all the available batteries. I find the biggest box that will go in. (With the right terminals in the right places, of course).

      R32 Skyline Handbrake Question

      By elinde · Posted

      Hello! I have been having a hard time finding the answer to this question… I have a R32 GTS-T Sedan than has been 4 lug swapped using S13 hubs, rotors, and brakes. The front has also been converted to S13 suspension.    When the swap was completed, the handbrake cables were never hooked up, as the S13 rear calipers are the “handbrake”, and not the typical drum on rotor that the R chassis are. Does anyone know handbrake cables that will work for this conversion? I’d like to not use a hydraulic handbrake and stick with the traditional cable style. My original thoughts were to go with S14 cables and try to make them work, since I’m pretty sure S13 cables will be too short.    Any help would be appreciated!

      I did some research, considering you have a neo engine, how is that battery compatible? I checked centuries website and super cheap and says it's not compatible. Only this full size one is. https://www.centurybatteries.com.au/products/ns60-mf

      Help Understand GTT Boost Setup

      No, lets be honest here. I went to Winton and did a track day, for all the mods and V8 power and craziness I posted up a time that a K24 stock motor Honda Accord can do on the same tyres (narrower, too) 250kw and learning how to drive the f**kin thing is the sweet spot.
