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

    • Should be more than fine, especially the overall fuel pressure would never exceed 3.5bar (assuming that thing never gets more than 0.5bar of boost in stock form). According to the chart, it's 11amps.
    • I definitely know the first rule here, look first, ask second. I've seen many people get roasted 😂 I found a few diagrams for the RB, but I'm yet to come across one for the VQ. From what I have read, the pump gets the +12v along with the FPCM, and it's the negative wire that gets passed through the resistor to regulate the voltage. So I assume I can just ground the negative wire at the pump to eliminate the FPCM control. But I really wanted to see the VQ circuit diagram first to make sure I understood it correctly. Once the new pump is in I'll do some testing to see how it behaves, and in the meantime, I'll keep looking for a wiring diagram. Thanks for your help mate, your time is greatly appreciated.    
    • Maybe? I have the Supercheap ToolPro low thingo. It has a somewhat smaller diameter lifting "bowl" than you would expect on a workshop grade trolley jack, and a split rubber pad to suit that diameter. It clears the "N1" style skirts I have. Probably wouldn't if the jack's bowl and a suitably larger rubber block were in use. Having said that though.....you only need the rubber block to exist on the inner side of the pinchweld, so could carve away any rubber that fouled the skirt, leaving some there for "insurance" </simples>
    • I used to do that (sills with rubber jack block).. ... then I got side skirts, and there's no way for the jack to actually work there, the jack pad itself on the jack is too big. Is the answer to use a... smaller (?) jack? Hmmm.
    • I have too much trauma from every skyline I've ever seen having crushed jack points/pinch welds lol.    Yep, works 100%, it's what I use when I'm using the quick jack. Don't know why I can't also bring myself to do the same thing when I'm using a jack. I blame the skyline PTSD.
