Funny, I though I posted up earlier - turns out I haven't. Pretty average looking gtr, just kept simple. Thinking of getting new rims but can't decide on what ones to get. I was going go stock but maybe they will look too small?

Why would you down grade?

I would be getting something like these:

Wierd to me that you'd see R32 GTR rims as a downgrade. Sure they're not 18s etc but they are a classic and still look great on 32s. Yes they need another 20mm of offset, but still a great choice in my book.

Yeah they look nice. Might look into it. I was thinking of somthing in a matte black though or a dark bronze. I do approve of the style though - its neat and looks sporty, I can't stand cromies etc, looks very tacky.

Yeah i also dont rate chromies AT ALL! Your current rims look good on the car though. Black on black can look good but sometimes the rim style is a bit lost cause they don't stand out. But time attack's are fkn sweet!

if youve got colouful stuff behind black wheels and big f$%k off rotors... they dont really get lost. i think that high gloss black can get lost due to the reflections... too much going on, too much shine, cant really see the shape of the wheel or where the wheels end and the wheel well starts.

TIME ATTACK TE37'S FTW!!!!

here's a couple of my cars, got lucky with the number plates.... "SKYLINE" on the GTS-T (not on in these pics) and "GODZILA" on the GTR.

the GTS-T is running a RB 25/30 with microtech lt12s and gt3076r turbo never been on a dyno but eats my brother 260 rwkw xr6 turbo ute..... the gtr is a forged bottom end with -5 turbos and has never been on a dyno...lol. get my licence back soon so i'll get tuning....

    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
    • Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.
    • also possibly backed up to my filler and shat down it! 🤣
    • Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
