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

      I'll probably be putting the shit box back on the dyno again soon, I want to dial in the closed loop boost control properly. I'll have a camera facing the car/motor for fun too. Just note, there are essentially 3x 10AN inlets going into the catch can and 1x going back to the intake pipe. Most of the time the catch can "return" to the sump actually is the crank case breather, pushing air out.

      I have the R3C with a Nismo slave and by no means does it behave like a stocker, it ain’t THAT bad. On take off just give a bit more throttle than you would say a coppermix and it’s fine. It will not slip though.

      Yet another RB Neo misfiring thread after reading all the others.

      By uchoa · Posted

      Okay. Final round of testing done. Got a friend to hook up a fancy scanner to the car and we also ran some compression and leakdown tests, she is healthy.  The MAF was definitely the culprit. So for future reference anyone with similar issues that find this thread. I suggest the following steps, in order of affordability:   Check your spark plugs for any fouling, replace plugs if they are bad or re adjust the gaps making it narrower (0.8mm would be good). Check every coil's resistance with a multimeter. It can be done by probing the IB and G pins on the coil pack. Resistance should be around 1.4 (+/- 0.1) Ohms Check the MAF. If you have Nissan connect or a good scanner with the 14 adapter it should allow you to see the voltage on the MAF reading should be around 1.1 - 1.2V when car is idling. But if you don't, buy a new MAF from Amazon and test, then return it. (For instance, I got a Chinese one for $40 that was reporting 1.3v on idle). If you still have scanner, you can run tests on the injectors to see if they are working, just remember to unplug the fuel pump fuse/relay and have no pressure on the line. Then listen for the noises that the injectors make. Clean/replace injectors as needed. Once you find the issue and fix, order thousands of dollars worth of OEM parts to refresh unrelated things (Optional)   PS: Thanks to the absolute legends of this forum for the responses and help to someone that went a bit over their head.
