These Kakimoto's

designed for the R32, they just look right.

I have a set with rubber for sale in gunmetal that matches your paint & offset.

they look better with the centre plate removed, the big alloy nut srewed back on minus the kakimoto logo - very street cred.

I'll post up a pic. Let me know if you want to trial fit.

i liked the Work rims to start with, but after having them on my car for a while now, im starting to dislike them. the design is good and the colour (gold with polished rim) its just that the spokes are really wide and dont go right to the edge of the rim. they are 18x9 and 18x10 and have mad dish, u just cant see much disc behind them and they look smaller than 18s. im going to get some Gram Lights 57 Pro's, they are made by Rays Engineering.

if anyone out there is looking for some 18" Work rims, the same as the gold ones above, off R33 gtst, gimme a pm.

cheers

oh and the 'trafficstar' 19" on FLYBYE (hpi issue 44) tickled my fancy.  but apparently there rare.  anyone know anything about them?  is the person who owns flybye on sau?

Also, FLYBYE is now known as TUFGTR and was at the Summernats making 659.8rwhp in HP heroes.

There are also another set of these wheels that look exactly the same but are called Axis - Deep dish at Ozzy Tyres:

I already have VOLK CV PRO's on mine, but will be changing them soon when I revamp the car's paint later this year. Would love some stockers for that "sleeper" look if anyone wants to trade. :P

Hey I have good set r32gtr rims. Look on Unique Autosports site. Under second hand rims. May trade.

I think R34 GT-R rims would look extremely alluring. R33 ones look cool on a 32 too.

Personally, I don't think there are many rims or bodykits that look better on a GT-R than what Nissan intended - the styling is so "right" from the factory.

My favourite wheels are magnesium RS-watanabe RS8's, in either gold or charcoal, the one piece super light ones - but not really the look for a GT-R.... Followed by Work Meister's and R34 GT-R wheels.

    • Well, hydraulic lifters will get noisy if they are dirty/fouled in some way, and exactly how that manifests will depend on exactly what schmutz is where. There is a procedure on here somewhere for dismantling and soaking/cleaning them. Replacing them with new is about 50% of the work and about 5% of the money!
    • Thanks for the reply @GTSBoy this is is a hydraulic lifter engine. Yea right i did not realise the lifters were supposed to be compressible while installed. I could push them down but i had to lean almost my while body weight on them.  I have never heard of a lifter/ lifters ticking only at hot idle and getting worse the hotter it gets. I have owned a few jdm cars with noisy lifters. This noise is slightly more subtle, it is more of a sharp gentle metalic tic than the solid and more loud tapping I've heard on lifters. I have used a metal rod, alloy tube, hose and stethoscope and could not find the source of the tick. But it appears to be loudest on the actual engine block behind the exhaust cam gear and next to the oil filter. I had mate (40 year old mechanic) go over it with me and he couldn't find it either..  Could it be a cam seal issue of some sort?  Cheers  
    • This seems problematic and unlikely at the same time. Vanilla RB2Xs have hydraulic lifters. They do have "zero" clearance, but only when running with oil pressure inside them. When not running, you should be able to compress them and obtain heaps of clearance. RB26s and Neos have solid lifters. They should have ~0.3mm and ~0.5mm on the inlet and exhaust respectively. If they have zero clearance then bad things are happening. With nothing else being wrong, it would mean that the valves would be held slightly (ever so slightly) open when they are supposed to be closed and it should have all sorts of problems when running, caused by leakage in/out through the valves. Or, zero clearance can indicate severe valve seat recession. None of it is good. Have you used a piece of hose as a stethoscope to try to localise the noise?  
    • Sorry for reviving an old post, but I'm having the same hot idle tick issue. Did anyone ever find out what it was?  I have checked/ replaced Injectors Coils checked Lifter clerance (is at zero) Checked Cam lobes Replaced exhaust gasket and studs Would appreciate any advice this is driving me nuts  
    • There's a huge reason manufacturers are tuning in dead flat torque curves... Make them reliable (and more drive able)
