i looked at rotas.. then looked at some rota broken pics.. and like mmm..

yeh funky there +12 the bottom is +21 and looks mint enough, also low so should be ok, he didn't state any spacers.

i was thinking of buying one of the rear diffusers from psiparts, but unsure of how low they sit.. i like them but if it looks retarded with stock body then hrmm..

yeah look not a big fan of the Rota's either, but those boys have to rep the wheels they sell in their shop otherwise their customers will go "why aren't you using them if they're so good?"

but as far as stance and fitment goes, that 32's done right... even for a GTSt.

dear alex,

fuck off.

kind regards,

shan

please don't weigh in on this when your choice of cars include a poopra, a 300zx and an MR2. :P

:happy:

i like my whale anyways.. plus 32s are nice but such a small % are done right

dont all be jumping on the rota band wagon now you know they suck

Tuff fitment Alex!

Shan, what car is this?

also...

wot?

he has Face 2 +12's all around.

you have Face 1 +21's all around.

your wheels are sunken in by 9mm compared to his, AND you have lower brake clearance cos the spokes on your rim run straight and not curved (hence the different Face's). He isn't running spacers. You may have to, cos it may hit the shocks. You may not have to, you'll only find out when you get the wheels... but regardless your wheels will sit roughly 1cm further into the guard compared to his unless you run spacers.

comprende?

so could organize a half cage for me? bolt in street legal?

don't make bolt ins. race cages or GTFO. we get secondhand safety 21's from time to time... call roshan (0425855540) and find out. tell him shan asked you to call him, and also remind him that he's a giant knob jockey.

yeh i know i was just talking about the car in the bottom 2 pictures :)

I love when the R32 V R33 debate sparks up. Most of the 32 fans will find some of the best looking 32's around, post photos of them, and then post photos of white/burgundy s1's with stock wheels and no kit as a comparison, or a veilside kitted 33...

Having said that, before they start crying, I've been contemplating a 32 GTR...

lol my 32's not a looker by any means, so I don't post it up. But its like the perfect wife... knows how to take a solid beating like a champ and keeps on working without attracting attention to itself.

what? :)

although with these wheels I'm bidding on, GTR fenders, shaved bumpers, CF bits and paint, it might stand out just a touch.

    • This has clearly gone off on quite a tangent but the suggestion was "go standalone because you probably aren't going to stop at just exhaust + a mild tune and manual boost controller", not "buy a standalone purely for a boost controller". If the scope does in fact stop creeping at an EBC then sure, buy an EVC7 or Profec or whatever else people like to run and stop there. And I have yet to see any kind of aftermarket boost control that is more complicated than a PID controller with some accounting for edge cases. Control system theory is an incredibly vast field yet somehow we always end up back at some variant of a PID controller, maybe with some work done to linearize things. I have done quite a lot, but I don't care to indulge in those pissing matches, hence posting primary sources. I deal with people quite frequently that scream and shout about how their opinion matters more because they've shipped more x or y, it doesn't change the reality of the data they're trying to disagree with. Arguing that the source material is wrong is an entirely separate point and while my experience obviously doesn't matter here I've rarely seen factory service manuals be incorrect about something. It's not some random poorly documented internal software tool that is constantly being patched to barely work. It's also not that hard to just read the Japanese and double check translations either. Especially in automotive parts most of it is loanwords anyways.
    • If you are keeping the current calipers you need to keep the current disc as the spacing of the caliper determines the disc diameter. Have you trial fitted the GTS brakes fit on a GTSt hub or is this forward planning? There could be differences in caliper mount spacing, backing plate and even hub shape that could cause an issue.
    • Hi there I have a r33 gts with 4 stud small brakes, I'm going to convert to 5 stud but keep the small brakes, what size rotor would I need?
    • First up, I wouldn't use PID straight up for boost control. There's also other control techniques that can be implemented. And as I said, and you keep missing the point. It's not the ONE thing, it's the wrapping it up together with everything else in the one system that starts to unravel the problem. It's why there are people who can work in a certain field as a generalist, IE a IT person, and then there are specialists. IE, an SQL database specialist. Sure the IT person can build and run a database, and it'll work, however theyll likely never be as good as a specialist.   So, as said, it's not as simple as you're thinking. And yes, there's a limit to the number of everything's in MCUs, and they run out far to freaking fast when you're designing a complex system, which means you have to make compromises. Add to that, you'll have a limited team working on it, so fixing / tweaking some features means some features are a higher priority than others. Add to that, someone might fix a problem around a certain unrelated feature, and that change due to other complexities in the system design, can now cause a new, unforseen bug in something else.   The whole thing is, as said, sometimes split systems can work as good, and if not better. Plus when there's no need to spend $4k on an all in one solution, to meet the needs of a $200 system, maybe don't just spout off things others have said / you've read. There's a lot of misinformation on the internet, including in translated service manuals, and data sheets. Going and doing, so that you know, is better than stating something you read. Stating something that has been read, is about as useful as an engineering graduate, as all they know is what they've read. And trust me, nearly every engineering graduate is useless in the real world. And add to that, if you don't know this stuff, and just have an opinion, maybe accept what people with experience are telling you as information, and don't keep reciting the exact same thing over and over in response.
    • How complicated is PID boost control? To me it really doesn't seem that difficult. I'm not disputing the core assertion (specialization can be better than general purpose solutions), I'm just saying we're 30+ years removed from the days when transistor budgets were in the thousands and we had to hem and haw about whether there's enough ECC DRAM or enough clock cycles or the interrupt handler can respond fast enough to handle another task. I really struggle to see how a Greddy Profec or an HKS EVC7 or whatever else is somehow a far superior solution to what you get in a Haltech Nexus/Elite ECU. I don't see OEMs spending time on dedicated boost control modules in any car I've ever touched. Is there value to separating out a motor controller or engine controller vs an infotainment module? Of course, those are two completely different tasks with highly divergent requirements. The reason why I cite data sheets, service manuals, etc is because as you have clearly suggested I don't know what I'm doing, can't learn how to do anything correctly, and have never actually done anything myself. So when I do offer advice to people I like to use sources that are not just based off of taking my word for it and can be independently verified by others so it's not just my misinterpretation of a primary source.
