hey guys, i just bought a repairable writeoff r32 gtr which is nearly ready to be registered and i need to find some rims but i've been told that there aren't many rims around that will clear the brakes on the front?? anyone know what i must specify to a tyre shop so they can find me some rims that will? btw i'm not willing to shave the caliper either. Any help would be much appreciated :P

If you dont care about looks or grip a set of r33 gtst stockies will clear the brakes (if you need it to pass rego). Proof? Ive had a set on my gtr, looked shit and didnt get much traction in rwd but yeah

Or R32 GTR stockies? or even R33 GTR stockies? (if you're doing it on the cheap ring up powerplay in sydney they do copies)

There's so many rims that will fit nicely though its hard to tell what style you like, in addition to the offer posted by Ryan;

Get some stock R32 Gt-R rims. They are cheap, plentiful & the tyres to go with them will also be cheap.

Far, far better than any imported Chinese chromie shit you may find in most tyre shops.

Failing that a good second hand Japanese rim in 17". 17*9+22 is the best size for a 32. 18's are ok too.

yeah if i had the money i would. i can get a set of impul 18x8's brand new for $1800 but i don't wanna splash out on wheels cause i might need the money i've got saved for other things. what about a set of ba falcon rims off a fpv? they come with brembo's so they'd have no trouble fitting over the gtr's brakes right?

Since its a jap car stick with jap wheels looks better holds the value better.

17" wheel will fit over std brakes and best performance and general driving wheel.

18" x 10.5 with anything from +15 to +22 offset will fit 32GTR. This is my fav choice as you can now upgrade the brakes to sometihng bigger such as brembo f150 and they look dam sexy :-)

19" only if you can afford it, and you want the bling factor, oh and if you are able to fit them and no performance or driving value.

18" x 10.5 with anything from +15 to +22 offset will fit 32GTR. This is my fav choice as you can now upgrade the brakes to sometihng bigger such as brembo f150 and they look dam sexy :-)

Thats very big for r32!

Hows the tyre scrub?

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
