  1. Agreed. Peace brothers. Lol Jack, forget your offset, you're running 19.5s! Way too big for my little 32....
  2. Thanks Jack. I should have made that clearer in the first post. It is about form and function. For the money I want both, or it ain't worth it. Thems rims ain't cheap, so they've got to be perfect.
  3. yeah, thanks Jack. Kinda the reply type I aS hoping for. Perhaps a different subforum might have been better. I'll pm Andrew. I'm pretty sure re the +22 fitment is right for practical purposes, but the flat look TEs are no good in my book. So, for TE37, it's +22, so long as they have the concave look. If not, no TE37s. If anyone has other pics of the +22 fitment then pls let me know.
  4. Er, appreciate the feedback, but maybe you can be more specific about it as '+12 or ghey etc' is not that helpful, even if it is amusing (Hamish, you are a fitment whore). My 9" +20's sit very nicely in my guards. If you take a 9.5" +22 it sits just a little more flush. Lipping the guards with the +12 does not sit well with me as it is kind of messing with things too far - that's my philosophy. Plus I've had a specific experience with +12 with RE30s and they were proud of the guards IMHO. Does anyone have specific experience with these rims on this car? Does anyone have photos? Nissan GTR, I' actually not sure what you're saying. Don't like TE37s? Fair enough but not helpful in terms of my question. Anything else to add? Bear in mind my car is not a Chapel St show pony, but sees regular track time so 'low as' and rims and tyres hard up in the guards is not what I really want. I'm also interested in the 'concave' look, so any further comments in this regard would be good. Keep it constructive guys.
  5. Here is an EVO with the right looking offset.
  6. Guys, I'm just about to purchase the holy grail of rims. I'm pretty sure this is what I'm after but I just wanted to throw this out there before I lay down the cold hard. Got to be 18s to clear brakes. The offset of +22 (not +12?) seems to make sense to me based on a set of 18 x 9 +20s I have. I've trial fitted RE30s with an offset in the teens and they stuck out too far IMHO. I'm hoping to confirm 100% that this size and offset have the concave look too. TE37s only look any good with the right width and offset so hoping to confirm 9.5 +22 is that Anyone with good pics of rims of this size / offset fitted off to a R32 GTR? Can you post up? I've searched but there is nothing I can find out there that is 100% specific to whar I need to confirm. Thanks. EDIT, think I found one. 18 x 9.5 +22....but keep them coming.
  7. http://www.google.com.au/images?hl=en&...q=&gs_rfai= For the OP. Every single R34 in this link has one white and one red. Even the Tamiya model.
  8. Best clear this up or it is VERY unfair on the OP. I reckon that or a thread clean is required.
  9. In.

    Japan it is.
  11. Well given the NUR still has the inherrant issues of oil control etc, and the V-II's are expensive as (and not much different over a normal "GTR") You could look to perhaps just a R34 GTR, you'd be looking around the 45-50k marker for a pretty clean example. Perhaps look at getting one imported as a side thought? Following this thought on, if you accept an R34 could cost $75k (something nicely modded or a Nur VS II M Spec etc etc), then this kind of price point introduces some other cars that seem pretty attractive in their own way. http://www.carsales.com.au/all-cars/privat...4&silo=1011 http://www.carsales.com.au/all-cars/privat...id=1235CDBC2A4A Perhaps, and especially for a daily, the cheaper end of the R34 market makes more sense. Sorry to take my thread off topic but this thinking goes to selecting a suitable price point.
  12. No, someone dug an old thread up. I bought these Dec 2008 and have since sold them......Don't go there and bump the old thread again! Cheers.
  13. Steve, some better pics would help your cause. Take them not in dappled sunlight (half shade half sun) as the shadow kills the pics. Your photos really don't convey the condition of the car which will not help your cause. Good luck.
  14. and again.

    Te37s

    Anyone? Where to buy these locally? I've rung Access and they're comparatively expensive to getting them in from Japan.
  16. Why import? There seem to be plenty around that could fit the bill? Importing would be a hassle, and time consuming no? Is it chePer to import? Better chance of getting 'the' car you want?
  17. Ash, suggest away if you've got a good idea.
  18. Let's try and keep off the topic of ceramic turbos http://www.carsales.com.au/all-cars/privat...id=1290E328F4D0 Expensive! http://www.carsales.com.au/all-cars/privat...id=1290E328F4D0 Still expensive but looks like a nice one.
  19. I bought one of my R32 GTRs with 177,000 on the clock and it has been faultless in 7 months of driving. Engine is running 18 psi and 290 kw at the rears and is sweet. Tuner did a compression test and said all very close to 165. Said it' one of the best he's seen. Chances are the klms are legit, rather than the 96klms you so regularly see. In your case why would they wind back to 145? Why not back to the magic 9_klms. Go on condition and have it checked. IMHO it will affect resale. It worries you, so it will worry others. Unfair but true.

    Te37s

    Ta mate. +12 is too aggressvie IMHO and I want the bronze ones. I've got 2 32s and one is a keeper, and one is a seller if I go the 34 route.
  21. What kind of condition please and how would these freight?

    Te37s

    I've got a price for bringing these in from Japan. I would be advantaged by getting a GST invoice, so I'm wondering what deals are around locally to compare. Can you either let me know if you're a seller or point me in the right direction if you know. Alternatively if you have a set and they are MINT, then let me know. Thanks either way.
