Check that out and tell me what you think would look nice on a yellow r32

Was thinking some 19X8.5 Cross-5 Chrome, you reckon they'd look sweet, or too plain? Its hard to find wheels that look good on yellow

Also if i put 19X8.5's on it, with say 30 series tyres, would i be able to lower it a bit, or you think i'd have rubbing issues?

Reason i say speedy, is because i get awesome discounts from them, and only them

Thanks guys

if I had to choose one from that list, I'd go the Lite-7, but they only come in Honda/ghey sizes. The only decent looking one that's in an 8.5" that'll sit nice on a skyline is the Cheetah, Octane and the Spyder Gold. I'd personally go the Octane in a 18x8.5 as 19's and 20's look wierd on an R32 proportion wise.

Cross 5 looks silly. Too much chrome, not enough style... its a chunky rim that's trying to look sporty.

The cheetah's look like BBS copies... and makes em look like they're a blast from the past :(

The octane has a inner lip with bolts, makes the rim look like a more expensive 3 piece, and looks nice in black. But any black centred rim on a yellow car looks hot.

Hey, so i went down to beaurepaires and had a look, the octane is actually a gloss finish instead of a matt finish, which makes them look quite good. The others just sort of looked boring, or werent as good as the pics. Only problem was i was too short sighted to tell if they looked good, and my pictures came out blurry (the lebo and mauri guys i was with said they looked cool, but..)

So, ill get them, and if they look gay, i'll be reselling some 19X9/8.5 octanes, for about 1200

Thanks guys :whistling:

you know, its funny I have a yellow 32 with speedies on it, but I don't have a pic :no:

I've got the holotype R. Mostly because they are 200 a corner in 17x8 :)

the other guys we race also have the holotype r but they painted them white...on a red and white car

    • 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       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
