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.

    • Yeah 98 for me, and 6.7/100 was my actual usage. On the downside the bloody thing still isn't running properly but at least they hybrid system is happy now. It starts but missfires like a bastard, and isn't throwing any code except "missfire". Thanks scoop. I did notice the AFMs are reading quite different at idle 1.33v and 1.67v so 25% variance (and have both changed and swapped them, the issue stays on the driver's side afm) so I'm looking for exhaust restriction (mouse nest?), compression issue or (hopefully not, no physical damage seen) wiring issue. Throttle might also be an issue but that is harder because you can't swap them side to side and not cheap to fire the parts cannon at.
    • I hope you're right and it somehow justifies it's existence!
    • actually, I've had one of those for a while and it gets more use than you'd think. Yes catching subframes, engines etc coming out under a car on a hoist, but also getting heavy stuff on shelving (to a certain height) without a forklift, holding the fuga's hybrid battery....like many good tools you'll find the jobs for it once you have it
    • Right, so God, it's been nearly 12 months since my last confession....  The main confession is I'm a horrible car modifier (amongst other things).  Obviously the pool was a massive distraction for the entirety of last year but really doesn't excuse me for doing nothing at all on the car for this year.  To be honest this year was a mental break to get over the extreme mental torment and pressure I put myself through putting the pool in!  It really was a slog.  The pool is still not completely finished but it might never be....  The kids love it and the wifey and I love it so mission success! I have spent a grand total of 30 minutes working on the car since when I commenced on the pool.  I just have not had a spare brain cell to be able to focus on it.  The thought of working on it just seems abhorrent to be honest.  My heart is just not into it.  Yet..... What I have done is decide that I'm a clown to not paint ALL of the underside of the car while I'm at it.  Originally I was stopping at the start of the rear subframe to then "get back to it later on once I'm ready".  Let's be honest, later on might never happen so may as well keep diving in!  I'm already balls deep so may as well go a bit deeper! So......  I've just purchased a hydraulic scissor lift table to be able to take the rear subframe out as a whole unit without having to dick around with jack stands rolling around on the ground.  Us 6' 8" blokes don't operate well at ground level! One of these- Anyway, will the investment in an expensive tool that I'll probably only ever use for one job motivate me to crack on?  Only time will tell..... Wish me luck!
    • Yeah the ACL and similar formable heat shielding materials are really nice. But most people do not have the patience or talent to do a good job like that. Almost anything is better than nothing though. Even if you didn't form it closely like that and just had a slab of it slipped in between the manifold and somewhere/thing you wanted to protect, you would gain benefit. There has to be a market opportunity for people like Artec to make formed heatshields to suit their cast manifolds. The fact that they are cast means that they are consistently the exact same dimensions and they could add bosses to the castings like you see on stockers to allow heat shields to be firmly attached yet floating away from the manifold itself.
