Wheels 16 or 17 x 8's to suit R32 GTS-T (4dr)

Okay its time - I was pipped by 700th of a second in the hillclimb and my opponent had R tyres. My standard tyres have to go (is my competitive streak showing?? Maybe I should push those horns back in, they're starting to show).

I'm currently running stock standard 16x6.5's. I've heard that pre 94 GTR wheels will fit (thanks Jayce). Does anyone have anything that will do the job for me?

I also have for sale 17x9 Sparko wheels and Falken tyres to suit GTR (they fitted the front but were too big for the rear, wrong offset ) I'll be putting more about these in the For Sale section with photos soon.

If there are any enthusiasts out there that are interested in helping me get this car set up right (that won't charge me an arm and a leg... although, I am prepared to give up toes and fingers) I'd really appreciate the help.

Please PM me with any thoughts, ideas and hopefully faster wheels

Thanks

It sounds like you would benifit greatly from some better tyres.

If you are after some motorsport orientated tyres, I can help you out.

I work for Federal tyres.

Have a look at the Federal website - www.federaltyres.com.au.

suspect i'll be selling my buddy club p1s at some point, but not until i find a replacement set for the gtr, i'm afraid. :)

I'm new to this, so please excuse my ignorance... what are Buddy Club P1's? :rolleyes:

They are a nice set of wheels http://www.buddyclub.com.au/

good looking, light and fairly well priced compared to a lot of other jap wheels like Rays, Work etc

I'm new to this, so please excuse my ignorance... what are Buddy Club P1's? :rolleyes:

    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
    • I'm interested,do you still have it?
