Most of those wheels look like they belong on a Hakosuka. The C5C-F1 look nice though, like a TCII . I remember reading Beer Barons travelogue thread and recall that a Garage Saurus car was running Panasports.

depends what style ur going after, there are a lot of GTR's running old school style wheels with small diametre/large width wheels with stretched tyres. similar styling to a lot of the rolla boys. can look good on the GTR's but i can imagine it wont sit well with 98% of people on this site.

after all, the original GTR was one of the pioneer's of this style

yeh or u could just go all out and grab some meister S1 or professor SP1's, wont be cheap though.

btw the ones above are 17x9 +24, theres quite a few around in that size/offset in Japan (even though they are an italian wheel) for the R32 GTR's, although there are quite a few 17x10's as well, but a lot of them are for porsches and use a different stud pattern.

hey nisskid you got a set of o.zs i was looking at but then decided to by your rims instead though lol (would of looked like twin cars if i got them hey). anyway back on topic personally i reckon those c8's would look nuts on a GTR but i have a bit of a soft spot for old school style rims

    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
    • OK, if it idles at 1000+ with the AAC, its not an idle airflow problem. The cold start valve just gives extra air when the engine is cold, but you have enough air without it to idle at 1000. I think you are back to a fuel problem, sorry. Can you see the fuel pressure staying constant or does it drop as the revs drop to a stall?
