Hi Guys, well this is my car.

skylineig3.jpg

I am thinking about either painting my rims white, black, gunmetal or bronze OR putting them on the family magna wagon and getting myself some new rims...

I am interested in seeing what others have on their 32's and how big you can go. CAN I FIT 20's under there??

My current rims are 18x8's (not sure of the offset but I believe correct - maybe 35) and I have had to trim the rear guards right back to 'minimise' scrubbing. Can I get a wider tyre on if I get a different offset (taking them in further) or will that just cause more problems?

Anyway, this is as much for me as for every other R32/Skyline lover out there... Post your pics up and give your opinions!

Thanks guys!!

Todd

get rid of em mate, put them on ya commodore. lmfao.

20s...umm possible, but mods to ya guards for sure, and must get low profile tyres, probably something like 205x30xR20 for front, and 215x30xr20 for the rear.

i hate to see holden wheels on jap cars, or japwheels on aussie cars, just doesnt go together.

ratedGTR - they arent holden wheels, they are just an after market wheel mainly produced by BSA. also 30 series rubber for 20s is rare and only comes in 225 and wider.

CATKICKER - ive got 20x8 on my car and they only scrub a tiny bit when i go over big dips in the road at decent speeds, but ive got GTR front and rear guards. you could probably fit em with the right offset, camber, tyre size and height.

Cool... well since mine are 18x8's and rarely scrub, if I were to fit some 20x8's with a 30 profile tyre, it should technically be the same width and rolling diameter.

I honestly have not seen 20x8 before, only 20x9's. what are yours? can you post up a pic? I can't see to well in your sig...

raterGTR, post up a pic of your car/wheels.

no it wont be the same rolling diameter

you can fit 22s if u wanna keep the car sitting like land cruiser

but the problems start when u lower the car

because the wheels will need to sit inside the guards for it to look any good

my wheels are original AME modelarts, they are a light weight 3 peice jap rim.

cant buy em anymore cause they stopped making em years ago

see now that is tough!

how does it handle with 20's? Mine sits about the same height (just slightly heigher, which is fine for me and my daily driving)

i am just not sure if it is worth the trouble getting 20's just to say i have 20's... maybe it is but 19's would still look big! It's not like the 18's look small (well the do compared to yours :D )

18's look small compared to that for sure, but there are still some nice 18's out there, and the cost for them (and tyres) wont be as bad

Ive always though black powdercoated rims like your current ones wouldnt look to bad on a silver R32 :laugh:

handles like shit with 20s lol

nah its not too bad obviously it would be better with smaller rims.

i want to go lower because there is still a shit load of ground clearance

having the car sitting the way mine sits now wont happen on a GTSt

unless you get 20 x 7.5 or something really thin

and have heaps of negative camber

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      For race cars, this is one part where I find having the roll cage bar having gone through a hole in the floor better than the build it up on a ledge inside... The Merc I help on, the main hoop ends are marked on the car, and the jack is marked... Jack goes under a few inches and lifts one whole side of the car up... Removes that fight for long slim jacks for race car duties!   My biggest issue for the daily drivers I work on, is my jacks don't go high enough. The jacks start out on a few blocks, jack it up, then start a second jack under it on more blocks, and then I can get an axle stand under it. My axle stands are presently in use, and are nearly fully extended. The car is sitting with barely more than a cm of clearance to get the wheel off the studs! Sarah's Kluger is the same, as it has an ungodly amount of droop available in the suspension and a distinct lack of good jacking points!

      Happy? Yep, my to do list is getting shorter and shorter. Either this light approaching is the end of the tunnel, or I'm about to be hit by a train... Ha ha ha   Also, Duncan isn't that far out of town that you need to make a multi day drive out of it. 😛
