they are fat wheels!

have you seen the veilside r32gtr? there is a mob in in UK from gtr forums who still offers this kit & he squeezes 14inch wheels on the front & rear - now that is FAT!

it is a good question, how did they fit large wheels without massive guards on the supra?

I'll go have a look at mine in a sec, try and take a couple of pics

but it looks like they tilted the shocks over more

See the strut tops, they are in the centre on the road car, so angling them across would give a bit more room

Edit just had a look under mine, with a smaller diameter front spring (mine are standard size king springs) there would be easily room for a 10-10.5" rim, might lose a little steering lock though

very observant!

this is the only place it fouls on the gtr, against the strut towers...regarding full lock though, this would not be a concern for any circuit car BUT street yes.

im running 10inch front & rear & have plenty of clearance, from memory about 1 inch. wheels sits nice & dont stick out

Just plugged in some numbers, for me to run a 10" wheel on the front it would need to be a +30 offset and a bit more -ve camber, I reckon if I pulled the splash guards out I would just have enough room to get full lock

If only the Supra was this competitive back in teh day

The last of the Caltex Bond Sierras is for sale. Has all the late model post Grp A kit homologated so is lighter, 6 sps etc. The other is a Japanese Grp A car which would be interesting to get your hands in to see ince and for all how it lines up to the local GTRs

Wait on, from that sentence it sounds like you're saying a Japanese grp a GTR is for sale? Which one?

Of course they are, pretty much any car in a serious global market like that is for sale.

In fact the calsonic R32 almost ended up in Oz a few years back, in the end only price was an issue.

Yeh, if the numbers I was told about the Japanese cars are correct then I think its going to take a Powerball winner to get one landed here and racing. Was it one of the usual suspects looking at the Calsonic car or a fresh face? I was told the other weekend that this is for sale...(Taisan)

I am not 100% sure but I think the 1990 & 1993 winner was the Impul/Calsonic GTR. In 1991/1992 Hasemi Motorsport

Interesting to see that Dunlop, Bridgestone and Tokohama all supported different GTR teams. In Aus the GIO cars often suffered being on Dunlops vs Gibson on Yokohamas...plus they were of course a customer car and somewhat privateer team

      Battle of the broken skylines

      I'm not normally one for posting random videos, but I thought we'd all appreciate the honesty about how broken our cars tend to be lol. Genuine skyline life here.

      R32 update from 1990's spec.

      By djr81 · Posted

      New CAS just turned up from NZ Wiring. Looks like a nice bit of gear.  So, yeah. Triggered, bro. Realised I may as well do the cam belt while mucking about with it so will order one of them.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
