they should sit pretty good dion, might need to run something like a 5mm slip on spacer up front, but you can get those from most tyre joints for nix.

they in adelaide? cant test fit before purchase?

as for the offset thing, its pretty simple. it refers to where the mounting surface of the wheel sits in relation to the edges of the wheel.

smack bang in the centre is +/- 0 offset (neutral).

when you move it from the centre towards the outside edge of the wheel its + offset.

when you move it from the centre towards the inside of the wheel its -offset.

Unfortunately they arent in Adelaide, or else I would trial fit. If they did not require spacers on the Z32, does that mean it wont need them on an R32?

Thanks for your help with the offsets etc.

should be pretty good i reckon. if not, theres bound to be someone on here rockin the same size/offset. might let you borrows theirs for a spell.

i would offer, but im running significantly lower offsets... :mellow:

:edit: how much coin you spending? id rock these, but thats me.

:edit: jis have a set of gramlights in the same size and offset, head down there, ask to test fit, and voila!

:edit... again: just so you know, youre gonna be way out of track anyways. adr's allow only 12.5mm of track increase per side. but f**k it, fit the wheels you want to get the car looking the way you want. we dont all have to drive yugo's. :(

17*9 +20 with a 235/40, yours will sit another 28mm further in.

17*9 +20 with a 235/40, yours will sit 15mm further in.

:(

sucks that you r chassis owners can run such high offset and get flushness, im running 0's and im barely proud with camber.

As i have heard somewhere before, i can't wait to see the shitstorm after they crush a car that has been wrongfully impounded!

Agreed Damo, would love to see what will happen in this situation, and if it does happen i hope the person it happens to has lots of cash behind them to push it high into the courts and the public view.

It would be interesting to see the outcome, but i get the feeling what you would see happen is that the owner would be offered a payout figure of the market value of the vehicle and the courts will see that as fair. But of course they wont take into account any modifications done to the vehicle, as they cant be seen allowing a car to have aftermarket modifications.

i ran 17 x9 +36 on my 34, that cleared the calipers by plenty

calipers are easy, strut can be a pain.

nor will they take into account something like sentimental value.

I guess we'll see what happens if and when they do actually crush a car, but I'm guessing that without a court order (repeat offenders) they won't be crushing cars for defects and general traffic infringements. I'm not convinced that it's going to be a police/government free for all.... and I know first hand that some officers aren't the most trustworthy people I've ever met.

Thats a good idea about going down to JIS Scandy.

Found this in the Wheel offset section

1992 R32 gtst

Wheel dia= 17"

Wheel width=8" fronts 9" rear

Wheel offset 35 fronts 38 rears

tyres 235-45-17 front

tyres 255-40-17 rear

Didnt need to do any mods car was lowered 25mm

I understand completely what you guys are going on about, but it's not going to be as easy for these morons to do as they please than most think. More credit should be given to the broader public in regards to making the right decisions at the polling booths.... until I see otherwise I'm not that corncerned.

Yeah I might head town there when I have some time and check out what they have.

The VS-XX's im looking at are just proud of 1k, with tyres.

simmons wheels are no more...

dude, i work both with and for people that think this is all the best idea ever, i had a workmate telling me the other day that he believes a vehicle should be destroyed and the owner forced into 12 months community service after the first offence. and he's passionate about it.

and the amount of people i talked to that were equally passionate about the bikie laws. honestly, some of these people are supporting what is in effect a communist government without even realising what theyre saying.

sounds reasonable, how much is freight? what tyres? conditions of said tyres? damage to wheels?

I think there is a difference between people who like to jump on a bandwagon and talk shit without thinking because it was published in a newspaper recently or was on TV. It's like guys who talk shit about things they have no clue about.... just because someone else is discussing it they want to be involved in the conversation.... They don't really believe in the shit that comes form their own mouth!!

theres an election in what... 7 months? if comrade rann can keep this topic on the boil long enough, people will continue on the path on now and vote in the guy whos keeping them safe.

never underestimate the stupidity of scared people in numbers.

and you havent heard these people talk, theyre like ruby when hes talking about bashing pedestrians, dead serious.*

i personally dont care if rann gets voted back in, its another reason for me to move overseas.

*ok, maybe roo-boy was kidding, but theyre serious, and they believe that theyre saying.

Whether the topic be "car crushing" or "Ruby knocking down pedestrians" ... People just read into something they want to believe ... why let the truth get in the way, when you can have a good flame for no reason whatsoever ... whether by media or forums. People find it easier to keep believing bullshit because thats what the majority do, than to admit they got their facts wrong.

BTW I only bash pedestrians for money :) :)

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
