Yeah, I definately recomend swapping to five stud - the four pot brakes are a descent improvement, but swapping the rear diff to the GTSt R200 LSD has been awesome. Far better traction out of corners and off the line.

The R32 GTS25 goes bloody well, because they are light and have a fair amount of power. But I've had the car for just over 4 years now, so it's about time I sorted the motor out and got some real horsepower.

4 yrs? .. wow .. that's pretty long ... i had mine for almost a year now and like you, i have no intention of selling it because 1) its extremely rare and 2) i have plans for it as well.

can you help me out with one thing though ... what are the exact specs for our model's rims? i am looking around for 17inch to replace my standards.

thks Ryno,

Genesis

The PCD is 4 x 114.3, and as you know the standard wheel is 15 x 6.5

I have 17 x 8's on mine, and that's about as wide as you can go (it's that close on the front, that if the tyre picked up a dog's hair it would probably rub).

So the safest option would be 17 x 7.5's with 225/45R17 tyres...

Hope that helps

im running 18 x 7.5 with 35 series rubber

they used to rub on the inside of the sideskirt

but we trimmed it and now they dont rub at all

and the car is pretty low

it was about 75mm from the rd at the rear

and about 100mm at the front

how long have you had it for? looks really good from the pixs... no damages/scratchs/rust watsoever i presume?

how about $80 inclusive of postage to brisbane?

i will probably have to do a bank transfer if i confirm on the deal.

hehe my rear ones got taken out as well for the same reason. I've designed a ibreglass box that should get around that problem... I'll post some schematics when I think they don't look like gibberish :D

    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2  
    • Thank you so much for the help
    • Yes it is ATF. I quote @Duncan "it takes a good synthentic auto trans fluid like Castrol Transmax Z" It's not a diff. It's a transfer case. Totally different thing. Yes, fluid will come out the sender hole. No you do not really need to drain it. Just pull the old, quickly poke the new, clean up and top up. But realistically, you should probably take the opportunity to change it anyway.
