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 :) :)

    • Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
    • OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart.

    • I forgot about my shiny new plates!
    • Well, apparently they do fit, however this wont be a problem if not because the car will be stationary while i do the suspension work. I was just going to use the 16's to roll the old girl around if I needed to. I just need to get the E90 back on the road first. Yes! I'm a believer! 🙌 So, I contacted them because the site kinda sucks and I was really confused about what I'd need. They put together a package for me and because I was spraying all the seat surfaces and not doing spot fixes I decided not to send them a headrest to colour match, I just used their colour on file (and it was spot on).  I got some heavy duty cleaner, 1L of colour, a small bottle of dye hardener and a small bottle of the dye top coat. I also got a spray gun as I needed a larger nozzle than the gun I had and it was only $40 extra. From memory the total was ~$450 ish. Its not cheap but the result is awesome. They did add repair bits and pieces to the quote originally and the cost came down significantly when I said I didn't need any repair products. I did it over a weekend. The only issues I had were my own; I forgot to mix the hardener into the dye two coats but I had enough dye for 2 more coats with the hardener. I also just used up all the dye because why not and i rushed the last coat which gave me some runs. Thankfully the runs are under the headrests. The gun pattern wasn't great, very round and would have been better if it was a line. It made it a little tricky to get consistent coverage and I think having done the extra coats probably helped conceal any coverage issues. I contacted them again a few months later so I could get our X5 done (who the f**k thought white leather was a good idea for a family car?!) and they said they had some training to do in Sydney and I could get a reduced rate on the leather fix in the X5 if I let them demo their product on our car. So I agreed. When I took Bec in the E39 to pick it up, I showed them the job I'd done in my car and they were all (students included) really impressed. Note that they said the runs I created could be fixed easily at the time with a brush or an air compressor gun. So, now with the two cars done I can absolutely recommend Colourlock.  I'll take pics of both interiors and create a new thread.
    • Power is fed to the ECU when the ignition switch is switched to IGN, at terminal 58. That same wire also connects to the ECCS relay to provide both the coil power and the contact side. When the ECU sees power at 58 it switches 16 to earth, which pulls the ECCS relay on, which feeds main power into the ECU and also to a bunch of other things. None of this is directly involved in the fuel pump - it just has to happen first. The ECU will pull terminal 18 to earth when it wants the fuel pump to run. This allows the fuel pump relay to pull in, which switches power on into the rest of the fuel pump control equipment. The fuel pump control regulator is controlled from terminal 104 on the ECU and is switched high or low depending on whether the ECU thinks the pump needs to run high or low. (I don't know which way around that is, and it really doesn't matter right now). The fuel pump control reg is really just a resistor that controls how the power through the pump goes to earth. Either straight to earth, or via the resistor. This part doesn't matter much to us today. The power to the fuel pump relay comes from one of the switched wires from the IGN switch and fusebox that is not shown off to the left of this page. That power runs the fuel pump relay coil and a number of other engine peripherals. Those peripherals don't really matter. All that matters is that there should be power available at the relay when the key is in the right position. At least - I think it's switched. If it's not switched, then power will be there all the time. Either way, if you don't have power there when you need it (ie, key on) then it won't work. The input-output switching side of the relay gains its power from a line similar (but not the same as) the one that feeds the ECU. SO I presume that is switched. Again, if there is not power there when you need it, then you have to look upstream. And... the upshot of all that? There is no "ground" at the fuel pump relay. Where you say: and say that pin 1 Black/Pink is ground, that is not true. The ECU trigger is AF73, is black/pink, and is the "ground". When the ECU says it is. The Blue/White wire is the "constant" 12V to power the relay's coil. And when I say "constant", I mean it may well only be on when the key is on. As I said above. So, when the ECU says not to be running the pump (which is any time after about 3s of switching on, with no crank signal or engine speed yet), then you should see 12V at both 1 and 2. Because the 12V will be all the way up to the ECU terminal 18, waiting to be switched to ground. When the ECU switches the fuel pump on, then AF73 should go to ~0V, having been switched to ground and the voltage drop now occurring over the relay coil. 3 & 5 are easy. 5 is the other "constant" 12V, that may or may not be constant but will very much want to be there when the key is on. Same as above. 3 goes to the pump. There should never be 12V visible at 3 unless the relay is pulled in. As to where the immobiliser might have been spliced into all this.... It will either have to be on wire AF70 or AF71, whichever is most accessible near the alarm. Given that all those wires run from the engine bay fusebox or the ECU, via the driver's area to the rear of the car, it could really be either. AF70 will be the same colour from the appropriate fuse all the way to the pump. If it has been cut and is dangling, you should be able to see that  in that area somewhere. Same with AF71.   You really should be able to force the pump to run. Just jump 12V onto AF72 and it should go. That will prove that the pump itself is willing to go along with you when you sort out the upstream. You really should be able to force the fuel pump relay on. Just short AF73 to earth when the key is on. If the pump runs, then the relay is fine, and all the power up to both inputs on the relay is fine. If it doesn't run (and given that you checked the relay itself actually works) then one or both of AF70 and AF71 are not bringing power to the game.
