Vehicle weights

R32 GTS 1260 kg

R32 GTS25 1380 kg

R32 GTSt 1280 kg

R32 GTS4 1480 kg

R32 GTR 1480 kg

R33 GTS25T sedan 1398 kg

NB: these weights are unconfirmed.

R32 Wheels

R32's are available with the following factory wheels:

Size Offset OEM tyres

14x5 1/2 JJ 40 mm offset

165SR14

185/70R14

15x6 JJ 40 mm offset

185/70R14

205/60R15

16x6 1/2 JJ 40 mm offset 205/55R16

16x8 JJ 30 mm offset 225/50R16

The 16x8 JJ are GT-R wheels are very hard to come by. The size of the wheel is stamped into

the rim for identification purposes.

Upgrades to tyre size can be done with differing results. Some members have reported good

results with 225 sized tyres on the GTS-t 16x6 rim, others have had excessive tire-wall

flexing.

    • Sadly I can confirm if you are actually seeking to drift, you will quite easily spin up one wheel. Even if you're going in a straight line. I am not entirely sure of the metrics/terminology here but there's only a certain amount that the helical will actually spin both wheels. I've seen it on video with my own car where two lines of smoke switch over to just one after you really get in to it. Unlike with a clutch diff where you can keep your foot planted until the car regains grip, in my experience with the helical you want to be utilizing traction control allowing LIMITED slip or lifting (partially) when you start to spin up both tyres with a Nissan helical. Which makes them pretty sub optimal for drifting duty. That said... this is probably a helical on numbers alone. Just put the Kazz in
    • Let's just fix the problem by f**king the rest of the gearbox.
    • Unlikely, as per Greg's post. This is not helical diff behaviour unless one wheel is up off the ground. Shimming what? You don't "shim" a mechanical LSD. Probably not in the sense that you have heard of people "shimming" a diff. And the process that Nissan f**kwits call "shimming" a diff involves super-preloading a VLSD cartridge against the side of the diff to create a friction/wear point (in a place that it wasn't supposed to have one) to make the sloppy, useless, viscous diff into a hybrid viscous/mech abortion. In case it isn't clear, I consider the process to be stupid. Nike.
    • How much does the shifter move when the car is in gear with the engine off? If it is more than about 1cm you need to replace your shifter bush. Your shifts will just get crunchier, not faster, with a short shifter unless you also rebuild the whole box
    • I should video mine, will prob do it tomorrow    Between 1st and 3rd, you could fit another two gears. That is how loose and wobbly it is   horrible:(
