Hi there all, i just bought a set of Koya Drift Teks for my Skyline GTS-T R32 today 17x8 fronts and 17x9 rears and they look so damn good.

Anyways, my problem is that the front rims are missing the calipers by 1mm or so and i'm just wondering if anyone else who has these rims on their car has/had the same problem when they first got their wheels?

Already i have noticed that the right front scrapes a little bit at times on the caliper but nothing major as of yet.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Peter

Hey mate, I have Koya Drift teks on my R33 and I thought the same thing, took it for some hard cornering to see if it would be a problem. I've had them for near a year now and the only thing that's happened is some of the "nissan" writing paint was scraped off which was great because it scraped it back to now looking chrome :blink: They are great wheels, have fun

just remember that spacers are illegal, so if you go that route, don't complain if you get caught.

i would just give it a month of so. they should sort themselves out. if you get sick of the noise just grind a mm or so off the nissan on the calipers, like singh said.

Your wheels are hitting your calipers and you wonder if thats a problem !! Well DER ! yes thats a problem.Take the shit back and get wheels that fit.And you wonder why the RTA demand yearly inspections.

dodgy set, they have been machined wrong the 8" should fit. The URAS (doritek copied the uras rims) 17x8" never had an issue, but they are now discontiuned as the new style is released..... which no doubt will be copied soon too :mrt:

      He obviously had his reason for flipping you off. I wonder what it was...

      I have to agree like, yesterday, I was driving down the warringah freeway towards the bridge when this jackass driving a beaten up Honda civic cut me off so suddenly it made me almost yank the wheel to avoid him hitting my car. Honestly and he had the NERVE to flip me off (or some other gesture Idk). Im a calm guy, but really some people just dont deserve to have a license, let alone be allowed to drive on densely populated roads/highways. If youre gonna cut through lanes at least use the damn turn signal

      HPA do an interesting video on tuning, and Adrian shows on the dyno, moving from 10:1 to 12:1 (And I think even 13:1) and the power moves SFA. However, a couple of degrees of timing has a HUGE impact. Exhaust side of things will more be the length of the exhaust and how many bends and turns you have. The straighter you can keep it, the better. By a lot. Oh, and getting the diameter right. Bigger isn't always better. Going to big can actually lose you power.

      I have to say, most people I see on the road fit the bill of atrocious drivers. Whether they be cowboys in their dual cabs, bogans in the Commodores, or the soccer mums. Pretty much most people on the road put zero freaking thought into driving. Barely look further up the road then the end of their bonnet, and have never even thought about how catastrophically wrong shit can go, by doing what they all deem as normal driving. Especially their late braking, racing to stopped lights, and sitting half a foot off the bumper of the car in front at 110km/h. Wanna know what's even better? By the time their kids get to be old enough to learn to drive, they've already got in the back of their brain what is normal driving, how annoyed you're allowed to get at people etc, and then their parents who actually have zero freaking skill at driving (Even though they constantly say "I've been driving for 20 years and never had an accident!") teach the little twerps how to drive, or should I say, how to make a car move. Literally watched a parent teach their L Plater, on a 4 lane freeway, that you just slam the brakes on, and push your way over, even with a B Double bearing down on you, and that's how you should drive, rather then, just keep going to the next exit. Same shit happens all the time for side streets etc, watching numpties pull dumb shit turns pushing across 3 lanes of traffic, rather than just go up the road another 30 seconds, and take the next turn that'll get you to the same location... Oh, and the damn right lane bandits. Or the retards driving along with their headphones in, and can't hear the ambulance or fire truck right up their ass about to run them over...   Pretty much, people drive on the road, like ego centric f**ks, and don't actually think how dumb shit their driving is, how it could easily kill them or someone else in a split second, or at the very least, how they're driving is contributing to all the shit they're bitching about on the road, like shitty congestion!
