What's Going On With Everyones Cars?

[Autumn33]

had a bit of a mix up with the courier delivering my wheels today but will have them tomorrow so will have pics up tomorrow night.

[Autumn33]

picked up my wheels today, just had a chance to test fit them/see how much guard work is needed, but i need to get some longer wheel nuts first.

Here some crappy pics ( the car is still on the jackstands & wheels only sitting on by a nut each )

will post up better pics once its all sorted

oh my goodness. You going to be running pumped GTR guards Front & Moulded into the Rear? That's a good 1 1/2-2" by the looks?

They look like 16's? Going to share what they are?

[Autumn33]

there not quite as bad as the pics look as there only held on by loose nuts but i'll make them fit haha, im just glad they fit over the front brakes

They are superlites 15x10 -26 all round

MOAR PICS MORE PICS!

[Autumn33]

Its still on the jackstands at the moment so pics are quite aids, it will be on the ground later today/tonight so i will post up some better pics then.

Just got it off the jack stands Im thinking I will get it out of the garage for some better pics over the weekend.

I have around 100mm clearance at the front bar so its just legal hight wise.

Im thinking of buying some universal bolt on flares rather than going down the GTR or wide body route but ill wait and see.

picture time! (excuse the messy garage ahaha)

[WHITER33GTS-T]

Might be just me but I dont like it. Each to their own.

I would have thought a set of 18x10 with a deep dish would fill the guards nicely

[SB 31Coupe]

Its always down to personal taste with wheels, but yeah right offset flush fitting 18'a would be my choice....well its exactly what I am doing atm

[Mr. Untouchable]

I'm afraid I agree, 17's are the smallest wheel that still looks good on a 33. 18's fill the guards the best

[Autumn33]

I know there not everyones cup of tea, I just thought i would do something different

I think they look better in person, once i get it out of the garage ill take some better/proper pics

[zoidbergmerc]

it's interesting, I'll wait till I see it in the flesh to pass my final judgement. I reckon it'll have some bozoku style bossness about it, which I don't mind

While we're on the topic of wheels I got me some Rays SSR2s 18x9.5 +38, they were gold but after today they're matt black

I've got some 245\40\18 Dunlop DZ03G M compunds for them to match the 265\35\18 I've got for the rears

[Autumn33]

i think you may be right haha just have to get some bolt on flares now

Never really posted any updates in here about our car so thought now might be a good time as there is a fair bit happening. First a bit of background info…

My brother Tom and myself purchased the car, a 1993 R32 GTST, in September 2011 from Victoria, it had an RB25DET which wasn’t engineered so we spent a fair bit of time organising that once we got it back, it was on the road on 11/11/2011 (easy date to remember haha), this is how it looked…

We didn’t really do anything worth mentioning, just tidied a few things up, got some new wheels and went to a few track days at Baskerville.

Then we thought we’d enter the drift practice day in May which didn’t end well with the car being written off, I’m sure most of you have seen pictures/videos and I don’t really want to look at them again so won’t post any of that haha.

Luckily it appears to be only structural damage with only minor damage to engine, surprisingly even front end components such as brakes/hubs were not damaged, the chassis seemed to absorb all the impact.

So we started the search for a shell, nearly bought an S13 which would have been a cool project but ended up getting hold of another R32 in June off DanielH (previously owned by Toffy). Now that we’ve started transferring things across I’m kind of glad we went with another R32 as it makes things soo much easier.

The shell was not quite rolling with no interior but it didn’t matter as we could transfer a lot over from our wreck. During my mid-semester break from Uni we got a bit done…we put in our subframe and front end so it’s now properly rolling (don’t worry everything was checked thoroughly for damage before being bolted up!).

Tom also pulled the RB25 out of the wreck and it has been pulled down to do a few oil control mods (external oil drain, restrictors, baffled sump, oil pump drive collar), head has been decked and replaced valve stem seals, crankshaft seals etc. and the oil pump drive collar is currently getting done. Also discovered big end bearings and clutch are pretty close to needing replacement so figured now is a good opportunity, and rear housing is cracked on turbo (thanks to Tobbie for sorting us out with that and few other bits and pieces).

We’re pretty keen to get it done and get back out on the track again and just enjoy it, I imagine we’ll be taking it pretty easy to start with after all the effort we’re putting in. I guess the good thing about paying someone else to do the work is it doesn’t hurt as much when things go wrong (if money isn’t an issue) but unfortunately that isn’t an option for us haha. I might try and post a few updates as things get done if I have time.

[Autumn33]

So i got a pair of flares today thanks Damo (DJRIFT) so decided to do a quick mock up

( there not sitting 100% were they need to be i needed stronger tape haha )

They just need a small lip piece cut off then they will fit mint

Is it me or does this ride height look like something from just stance?

[Young GT-R]

yeah it does There'd be no getting away from it running 15's on a 33 though imo.

Update:

[jangles]

Very nice
