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

    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
    • OK, if it idles at 1000+ with the AAC, its not an idle airflow problem. The cold start valve just gives extra air when the engine is cold, but you have enough air without it to idle at 1000. I think you are back to a fuel problem, sorry. Can you see the fuel pressure staying constant or does it drop as the revs drop to a stall?
