fullee sick 20s bro

unless your planning on entering your car into a show (which you very well might be) don't even consider driving around with them on the street.

i'v never understood why you would compromise handling and grip in a sports car for cheap lebo looks.

my mate had 20" vault cyrstals on his R33 gts-t

not only did it look shiit the ride quality was completely fkd.

If anyone noticed alot of cars including the GTR now comes with 20" rims, Several race cars run big 20" on the front to increase handling.

20's will fit get the offset right n work from there.

yes the new GTR comes with 20s. but the gts-t originally came with 16s

i wonder how 24's would go on the new GTR. my guess is not so good.

Those wheels are not chrome bling though.

For looks. The car is so huge that small rims look disproportional.

Several race cars run big 20" on the front to increase handling.

I'm curious to see which race cars do. And I'm not sure how increasing unsprung weight and rotational inertia provides an increase in handling.

Going to big rims has little to do with improving handling, especially not a 4" increase over stock. On a race car you go for the smallest wheels you can fit around your brakes. Sometimes that necessitates putting on bigger rims than stock.

At any rate, the suspension is engineered around the wheel/tyre combo. What's the likelihood that this guy's R32 has its geometry and components engineered around 20's? Or that it will only get driven on smooth surfaces where the loss of sidewall compliance and increase in unsprung weight is not going to more than offset the supposed benefits of reduced sidewall flex?

hey guys i am just wondering if any1 knows whether or not 20" rims will fit a stock r32 gtst (the offsets and width and bolt patten are all proper) or if i will have to raise the car to fit these.

Thanks

as mentioned in the original post the car is stock.

the cars "geometry" has been set up to handle the stock 16" wheels that were issued from the Nissan factory floor.

so 20s will not do at all for this setup.

Ahahahahahahahaha

Buses come with huge tyres and rims - so by that principle bus wheels should work out OK on the 32 as well.

GOLD.

can you see the rims when your driving?? i cant on my r32 so my guess is no... therefore looks mean nothing, purpose means everything. buy your 20" rims and stick em on your wall, use them for a glass coffee table or tv stand where you can see em.

for the record buses are not 5 stud lol best come back i got.

TO ANSWER THE QUESTION:

Yes they will fit .. you would need a cheese cutter wheel something like 20x8 with an offset to fit .. coilovers would do wonders too ..

      GTSBoy on your suggestion on another thread I had a look at those injectors and ended up getting them because of the quality.  Got the expensive ones.

      R32 gtr hood latch support/lock part number search

      By eli995 · Posted

      Hey guys been looking everywhere to try and find the correct gtr hood latch support part number but only found the first half and when I search with that number it sends me to an r34. The first part I found was 62515. If anyone could help me with the rest then I’d really appreciate it. Or if there’s some alternative hood latch support that would work even better cause I can’t find any for sale. (Searched on upgarage, partsouq,buyee,rhdjapan)

      If you've only done the upper control arms on the rear, AND you have changed their length (by more than about 1mm) to set the camber you want, then you will definitely need/want to install traction arms also. Adjusting the camber arms on their own WILL introduce bump steer and make the car unpleasant to drive. Most owners have no idea that their car could behave infinitely better than what they put up with. I'm not entirely sure what the Stageas need, but I am thinking that unless you have massive front spring rates and pretty soft rear springs, you have waaaay too much rear bar. Oversteer city, in my estimation. Combined with possible excessive bump steer from maladjusted arms, that could be a recipe for nastiness. ATR43SS2 is not a highflow. It is an outright replacement turbo. It's a little bit bigger than the largest highflow profile that Tao does. Probably a solid 300rwkW turbo where the bigger highflows will be about 30-40rwkW less. Nevertheless, we're only talking about ~300 rwkW, which is well within the abilities of the stock ECu to run with a Nistune on board. I would do so without hesitation - and I will be doing so when I get my finger out and actually get the injectors and AFM installed. But, if you would prefer to drop a whole lot more money on the ECU side, then I suspect you're looking at Haltech. The Haltech fanbois here will all spout on about all the available engine protection you can have, that you can't have with the Nistune option. And they're right. But it doesn't really come for free either. You will spend more money on extra sensors and the like, plus the work to install them. If the engine was built and therefore represented a big investment to protect, then I'd say definitely do it. If you view the current (and forever into the future) shortage of replacement engines as something to prompt similar protection, then also, do it. If you see a destroyed RB25 as an opportunity to put in a Mercedes or other V12 (like I kinda do)... then your perception of the risk/reward might differ. These are good injectors. You can also get a "better" set of the same with more flow matching, for more $$. 1000cc is where you will want to be. You will need an R35 AFM and adapter tube if you want to stay with Nistuned stock ECU. Otherwise, if going Haltech, you can ignore. As for intercooler. Just about anything will do. You're only talking about ~300rwkW. Just put a big core in there. Be aware that return flows do add significant pressure drop and will cost power and will make the turbo work harder to achieve the same goals. If you can manage a proper crossflow, do it. I'm keeping my very good return flow because I'm only expecting to be in the ~250rwkW range, and will live with whatever outcome I get.
