hey all..

im trying to find what rims were available in 1989 when the r32's were just brought out... the look im going for is ol skool drift.. no outrageous body mods, big wings, etc... and no 18" flashy rims.. just plain and simple.. like an ae86 with longchamps or a dr30 with watanabes

back then, 17's were considered huge so 16-17s will be my limit... i like the ssr mesh type but the missus says they are fugly.. ive flicked through all my hpi mags etc but they are late 90s/early 2000s onwards..

anyone got any other ideas?? or pics of old school 32s??

cheers

lol

why don't you grow some nuts and get the good looking rims you want (which ssr are) instead of worry about what your missus thinks? unless it's half her car aswell or something?

because its just easier if shes happy with them too, i dont have to hear about how dumb she thinks it looks, she doesnt mind the bbs wheels above... but the ssr's she just doesnt like.

the problem with those blitz wheels, and the old enkei 3 piece ones... is the outer lip is like 2" thick (not deep)... reducing the overall diameter of the spokes... making the wheel look smaller and chunkier.

cheers for the help guys.

i like the volk gtp's but havent found any to have the offset that im after except straight from yahoo japan... but there are soo many better rims for the money if im going to that expense of getting them shipped... there were another set of volks that were 5 spoke i think they were called "challenge"?? im not sure, i had some of them but they were very skinny.

haha, habibs at maccas... very funny.

my mrs just doesnt get why i want to keep it in character... shed rather i got the same 18" work meisters that i had on my 33..

Digging up a slightly dated thread here. Tsuchiya was running around in his R32 GTR in the Shuto Kousoku Trial movies in the late 80's and Early 90's. They had AVS Model 6 rims with really rare and odd centre wheel covers.

    • Its also worth mentioning that 30 years after it left the factory and god knows how many missed oil changes since, there is every possibility that one or more lifters are ticking because they are sticky/gummed up. To resolve that you need to pull the cams then pull each lifter, disassemble, clean, reassemble, soak in oil and re-install, and they should come up good as new.
    • What air filter are you running? Is it a panel filter in the stock air box, or a pod filter? Is the air filter the type that is oiled?   If you unplug the IACV, what rpm does the engine idle at?
    • Reading through the engine service manual their advice is do a cylinder balance test. Unplug one injector at a time and see if the idle drops a consistent RPM. You can also do this using a Consult cable which is easier. They also call for unplugging the power transistor, then with the engine off and the fuel rail unhooked from the manifold verifying that you have good fuel flow (even injection, no dripping/leaks, etc) when you twist the CAS by hand. Also verify the spark by pulling the spark plugs and allowing the plugs to ground and turning the CAS by hand. I would also start doing the sensor checks and idle valve checks in service manual. Make sure the MAF tests reasonably, the intake air regulator is sane, etc. You may have to get new spark plugs.
    • This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.
    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
