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

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
