Hi guys,

Recently bought a 32 gtr and have just got some wheels for it. Picked up some that are 18x9.5 with +12 offset,

the guy at the shop said they should fit alright but ive put the rim on without a tyre just up on the jack and while

its off the ground it appears to be slightly outside of the guard.

Just wanting to know if they will fit or should i try and take them back.

Cheers Blake

By trial fitting without a tyre, the suspension geometry (when the car is jacked up) is a bit different and will give the impression that the rim is going to stick out more than when it is back on the ground.

So you will find the top of the rim will actually move in towards the guard once the car is lowered back down.

It will definitely need some guard rolling and possibly some stretched tyres depending on how low the car is - will look tough though!:yes:

      If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Before I get to the test day, just to finish off the android head unit. This is a demo from car start up....the standard/host system takes a few seconds to boot (same as all v37) but Android comes up quickly. In this vid I'm using the delivered launcher but have set the default to Agami since which is easier to navigate when if use primarily 5 apps. You can see the host system still takes over when required eg putting it in reverse, and you can switch between Android and not by holding the back button 3 sec. It is pretty responsive (fast) but you can see I had to press harder than expected a couple of times.  I still have the phone connected to the stock system, and that also seamlessly takes over Android music playing. v37-android-demo.mp4 The bigger reason that I put this in though is so that I can use Ecutek directly on the head unit. That gives me a dash with logging (up to 20MB only), high and low value warnings on any parameter etc etc. I've run a USB cable from the Ecutek OBD dongle to a USB input on the unit, easy. v37-ecutek-demo.mp4   The unit did freeze on the launcher the other day, I think Agami was trying to verify the license when it didn't have a data connection...will monitor and report back if there are any other problems but so far I'm very happy with the upgrade.
