Well my wallet's a whole lot emptier now, after I just bought these rims to go onto the R32...

phear_my_dish.jpg

For those interested, its a 18" x 9" with a +3 offset in front and a 18" x 10" with a -9 offset at the back, which should hopefully allow me to fit them onto the R32 hubs without any rubbing etc, and with a couple of 10mm spacers should see em sit flush with the wider guards.

Now I need to find someone who can fix up the rims (restore the clear coat and give it the polish of its life). Anyone able to reccomend companies?

There appears to be an acceptable level of dish.

Carry on.

PS did anyone ever see the Gemballa at Duttons? We went last year and checked it out - the DISH on the rears was supreme...

An acceptable GTR namesake, methinks :stupid:

dish seems to be the new age rice... ah well... its the only shit that fits my car and fills out widebody guards.

Now if only I can get all the f**ktards that advertise yahoo auction rims on NS and SAU to quit bidding against me, I'd have gotten it for half the price I paid.

BN Sports now make the same kit to fit R32 GTR guards as well. I've got the widebody kit for the GTS shape.

Denham, yeah project's been stagnant due to financial commitments in other areas of my life :cheers: after allt he R32's a daily driver. Plus I got the AE86 now which is being built for track use so I'm not gonna go over the top with the R32, just a kit and a moderately powered engine (which is why I'm selling the TD06-25G turbo kit as I don't want 500kw at 6000 RPM).

Why not?!? :cheers:

PS I like the way BN sports decided to black out the background but not what was showing through the side and back windows haha

yeah, its an interesting tint on the windows isn't it :cheers:

thats seems like the way things are going. .sounds like in vic you have to have a dedicated track car, and a shitbox/death/pollution machine for street these days.

Bad yahoo prices for things have gone through the roof now every 2nd monkey has started a business selling yahoo parts, KUNTS

yeah shits me when I see a set of rims for 70,000 Yen buy it now (Just under $1000, shipping etc should come to $500 max) and then I come on SAU and I see someone advertise them for $2600 landed. And worse still they don't even include the other 2 photos of it showing dents and scratches.

ah well, if you're dumb enough to buy off em you ought to get ripped off.

I AGREE 100% Shan, it seems alot of sellers in the import parts business via yahoo auctions are quoting alot higher margins on the landed prices... so much that it really put me off. I'd rather just buy new stuff for a few hundred more. pffft

    • 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
