Hey mate, I'm not being a smarty right now but even n1 parts have part numbers. Cut your losses and accept that they *may* not be genuine. What does it matter anyway?

Ignore the smart arses.:)

Google: N1 Altia Wheels. Looks like Altia is a brand that may have disappeared now, the N1 was a split 5-spoke model available in many sizes but I've only seen down to 17s.

I think what you have is a set of centre caps that don't relate to the wheel they're fitted to, it's a common situation, especially with replica wheels - BBS caps on any number of mesh-style wheels is probably the most common.

Either way, I don't think you have a unique set of R32 GTR N1 wheels, but you do have one hell of an ability to defend your position.

On further Googling I've found an Altia Falken GTR that won the 1992 N1 racing series, driven by Shinichi Katsura and Takahiko Hara. Check out the book "Nissan GT-R Supercar: Born to Race", mentions it on page 45.

For one, all Nissan parts are cataloged and have part numbers. Not having a part number makes zero sense in manufacturing.

R32 N1 GTRs were based off the Vspec or Vspec II which have the 17" BBS wheels. They also have the "produced with spartan air" and skyline 'S' center logo.

Yours seem to be a copy of the r32 gtr wheels made by ALTIA.

Not even a copy, looks like the standard R32 GT-R wheel with a centre cap that fits.

f**k, this shit again, really?

ok let me ask you this...did all the r32 gtr's from 89-94 and the v-specs from 94-96 have the engravings around the center caps? did any of them have holes drilled around the center caps? Im just saying...if these are not n1 gtr wheels then ive got the rare special edition Altia Falken GTR wheels that were only produced for the Falken GTR team. Ultra Rare bro.

    • Hi soviet_merlin, We appreciate your concern regarding this possibly being some sort of PR/Political hype, I assure you that is not the case, I wish we could claim something like that, but in this case, we merely reached out for comment on the basis of the outrage we too felt, as those heavily in the automotive industry. Ps. the original source in the social media post is CarExpert not CarExplore.    Best, CE.
    • Made a bit of a discovery, but while I was cruising, I randomly decided to test to see if it worked and it showed up on my IC7. The entire time I tested it before, I never thought to turn the ignition on. I only tested it with head lights turned on but with the ignition off. Huge oversight on my end. I’m a dummy. I know. 
    • G'day all, I have drilled and tapped the hole for the relocation of the timing belt tensioner. That was straight forward. I'm unsure if I need to also put another hole for the smaller stud that the spring behind the tensioner catches on (this is how it seems to work in its original spot). Or do you not use the spring behind it and just torque it down? Thanks in advance, I did a search but couldn't find anything related and it doesn't mention it in the rb30det sau guide.
    • Hi All,  just thought I would provide an update as I know smooth (Matt) was on this forum from 2003.    my brother Matthew passed away end of may 2024 at the age of 41 from liver failure. I am not sure how many of his original team krazy friends are still on here or active but thought it reasonable to let the forum know.    if you have any photos or pictures it would be great if you could share them.    it took me a while to work out he was active on here.    thanks so much
