Is this the one that is:

Grade: 5 (New Car Condition)

18,000 km's (Has existing log book history)

Picture002_zpsa21c22cd.jpg

Window tint off, exhaust raised, lowered 15mm, Lambda installed, now to pull some fuel out of it. Happy!

Sad to say this will be the last photo with the BBS wheels. Had a rock jump into the wheels last night and get stuck between the calipers and the nuts, shearing 7 nuts of the back of the studs (about a 1/4 of the wheel). The tire deflated (thankfully slowly). I think this is extreme bad luck but, after using the wrong silicone on them and having to redo all of them, this is the end of my love affair with them.

Sooooo bought these.

LMGT4 still in 17 x 9.5 because I like a little bit of muffin top.

Any better pics? Looks awesome.

No better pics yet - waiting on a set to come through from Japan - hopefully this weekend - otherwise Monday.......

I hate waiting ;-)

Ohhhh and sheeesh -bad luck on those BBS's they looked great :-(

Nismo LMGT4's are better wheels anyway :)

What offset are they?

17 x 9.5 is a nice size for the R32 GTR.

+12. Might rub?

You should be fine and will fill out nicely.

Your ride height is low, but function low not stanced low.

So you will get a nice flush look, so Tyre / Wheel directly under the guards (no poke / no sunk).

If there is any poke / sunk, it will be marginal.

    • Update: Tunehouse looked into the problem and identified a wiring issue between the camera unit and the connector. They managed to get it working , but did warn me at some point it will stop working again. From their perspective it is unserviceable and will need replacement. They did some research and found that the new replacement camera would be Approx $1400 supply only (their fitting cost would be $190) . They did provide the part number (28442-JL05B) and a quick google of the part number shows that these are rather expensive brand new (seemingly no longer in manufacture) for the places that still have them in stock, with the used option potentially presenting  the same issue down the track at some unknown point. They are happy for me to supply the part so that they can fit it. Decisions, decisions... I can definitely recommend Tunehouse (thankyou Vee37!). Cost for the diagnosis was as quoted  ($190) , car was ready on time and communication was top notch. Their workshop is super clean and modern, and there was plenty of car candy parked out the front on the day I went.   Would definitely go back.   
    • to fix the voltage drop issue I swapped out the old 150amp alternator which turns out is a brand known for having issues and replaced it with the black 180amp alternator beside it 
    • For anyone interested, the Way Back Machine has that Japanese website archived with pictures, etc: https://web.archive.org/web/20051023225805fw_/http://www.a31cefiro.com/air_con.htm "Simply swapping the wiring of the harness will not allow it to function properly. For the outdoor air sensor and sunlight sensor, disconnect the wiring connected to CN1-11 of the air conditioning harness from the harness and connect the sensor side wiring to earth. For the indoor air sensor, disconnect the wiring connected to CN2-3 of the air conditioning harness from the harness and connect the sensor side wiring to earth. The connector PIN numbers listed here are the genuine A31 PIN numbers. To avoid incorrect wiring, check with a tester before wiring. Also, disconnect the wiring in a location close to the sensor. The disconnected harness side wiring will not be used, so be sure to insulate it." Wish someone sold a conversion harness to just plug-and-play a Kouki 180sx digital climate control into C33/A31. I'm decent with wiring but feeling kinda lazy about taking this on. Edit: Did some more digging and found a helpful Minkara blog post about the conversion as well: https://minkara.carview.co.jp/userid/1831116/car/1360568/2284209/note.aspx "After installation is complete or the battery is replaced, you need to go into self-diagnosis mode and set the internal air recirculation. The way to do it is to "hold OFF with the key on for more than 5 seconds, set the number to 5, then press 卍→C." ↑↑↑It probably won't make sense unless you actually try it (・∀・)." Lol wtf
