Some already know,and for those that don't,my R32 GT-R is undergoing a restoration of sorts. More a serious upgrade,I s'pose. As such,the little beastie wont be turning a wheel in anger for a while yet,so I thought I'd off my trackday rims and tyres in the interim. They're Sparco Pythons,purchased from one of our good Canberra members who'll no doubt have all the spec's if I ask(as I've clean forgotten yesterday,let alone specifications like offset...). What I do know is:17" x 9",with the offset to fit the BNR32 with no clearance issues(my car is lower than standard,but sits just above legal road height...). Tyres are Falken RX-04V II's in 245/45/ZR17,which are a sticky trackday compatable rubber;not DOT approved,so you'd run the risk(and the wear issues)if you used them on public roads,especially if it rains! However,once heated up on the track,I dropped over 2 seconds off my Wakefield lap times,and there'd be more if I didn't drive like a nancy boy...So;cheap trackday rims that are a bit scratched and biffed up-nothing that appears structural,or I wouldn't have used them-no centre caps,with tread at 90%,including wheel nuts,for $1000 firm. Buyer organises pickup/transport/freight;PayPal,direct deposit or the traditional folding stuff only. PM me if needs be,and we'll go from there! Jayce.

Are these rims 4/5x114.3? or 5x100/5x114.3?

Cheers Phillb

Ermmm...whatever the standard R32 GT-R takes? I actually have zero idea what measurement you're refering to:what do I need to measure to answer you properly?

looks like they are multi-fit rims

so they have both 114.3 x 5 stud pattern

and 114.3 x 4 stud pattern

so will fit 5 stud jap cars (except subarus) and fords

and 4 stud jap cars (most RWD's)

cheers

Ah,right! I know now what phillb was refering to. True,they are multifit's:nobody has redrilled 'em:they came that way from the factory!

they are multifit, i used to have a set and still have the centrecaps

jase id b interested in them for sure without the tyres if ur willing to seperate

Sorry mate;I paid more for just the rims,so the price is intended to give me more room in the shed when the buyer takes everything! I don't need the tyres sitting around,as they too wont get used for many a month otherwise! Plus,I'd have to drop more dollars off for "just the rims",taking into account your long haul from the Riverina(see? I'm always thinkin' of you! LOL!)...So,sorry;they're a "job lot"!

I would like to look at them and take them off your hands today if you are around. I have PM'd you with my number, give me a call.

Cheers

    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
