There are only 2 sets of those rims in the country.

a white R33 GTR has the other set - apparently worth 8k.

Where did you hear that?

They're Dronell rims, and aren't that expensive. Tempe Tyres, Ozzy Tyres, etc, can all get them, and the rims on the white R33 GTR (GTR51K) aren't the same. Very similar, but not the same.

I have seen these Dronell rims on many European cars (BMWs mainly), and they certainly aren't the only set in Australia.

from the owner himself - i cruise with him and the other skyline i mentioned quite a bit.

that 32 should see 600hp when they finally finish tuning it too.

apologies if it's not the only 2 sets - i'm not into wheels so i take their word for it.

Those rims are bloody horny, but they certainly aren't that exclusive. :)

Have a close look at Angelo's car the next time you go for a cruise... If I remember correctly, the spokes flare out slightly at the edge of the rim, and aren't parallel like the Dronells on that beautiful R32 GTR in question.

600hp eh? Should be good for high 10s-low 11s? Awesome :P

if it's the r32 you are talking about on page 1,

i think it's actually purple - if you see the top corner (drivers side) of the front bar you can see it.

i've only ever seen the car at night - has been off the road for around 2 years after an accident.

don't worry, allens a fcukwit anyway and talks outa his arse!

I'm afraid I have to second that. A long time ago I was trying to post on the fast fours forums and he acted nice via pm, then when I posted he slammed me in front of everyone.

Then a whole thread was created to slam Loz recently. As well as countless others I have seen heavilly flamed by Allan GTI-R for no reason on those forums.

Oh and by the way Allan GTI-R ..... welcome to the Forums.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Yea the photos aren't the best. When I was pulling the bumper and headlights out there was a bodyshop guy looking on for it, there is a slight bend behind where the passenger headlight is, but we're talking a few MM and there is a little bit of a bend for the reo. That said it's supposedly well within the "Drill a hole in it and pull it out with a slide hammer to be close enough" and be on our way. The other option is to buy a GTR reo for the GTR bumper bits but this is a $2000+ fix for something Mr Hammer can probably do 99% of the job for and everything will/can line up pretty closely-to-good-enough.

      That's a write off for sure... Part out? 😛 I kid. It looks like the rad support has a minor minor bend in it too where the rep support sits near. Could just be the photos (and me not wearing my glasses right now). Worst case is you can buy a new radiator support, have it swapped over, and leave the car in paint jail for 12 to 18 months while you build the motor to handle twin turbos or a Harrop SC...

      It seems the definition of "Gregging" something might need to be expanded?

      R32 GTR - Where to begin

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      This is why I suggested that there is really nothing that can safely be done in the engine bay at this budget level. Just the work to reassure yourself that the engine won't instantly crap itself the moment the boost gets turned up will wear out the piggy bank long before the first turbo gets installed. Spend $10k and still not have any extra performance? My tip is a version of our standard advice from 15 years ago about buying a GTR, which is not to buy one unless you can afford to buy two. The new version is not to modify a GTR unless you have all the funds required to do it all at once, properly, and enough to rebuild it after it blows up.

      R32 GTR - Where to begin

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      Oh, I forgot to mention this before.  It is accepted that your taking on risk buy turning up the power on a 30 year old stock motor. You can lower the risk with the ECU engine protection, but this is more money on sensors. CAN wideband, oil temp, oil pressure, coolant pressure, fuel pressure, air temp, etc. It adds up quick.  I am a huge fan of running all of the engine protection the ECU offers. You'll have to decide for yourself how you want the engine protection setup and what you think is worth monitoring.
