You should get gtst brakes and rotors and change to 5 stud rims.

I'm with and3_3, get a 5 stud pattern it opens your options up for future upgrades. I know that's what i plan to do once i get mine...if =p (nah should be very soon though currently offering on one)

yea i think my brake is going to give up soon the old owner really killed it i dont know what he did but the rear left brake makes noises when driving at low speeds im not sure if im going to keep this car after i get my fulls or should i just turbo it? a bit hetick though may as well get the gtst? im still half hearted but i reckon at the end im going to end up getting new brake pads and machine the rotors or get new brakes, and also i some times go mountain driving on the week ends soo yea its hard, grip or good braking....... :P

look alikes??

:s

I would go the GTS T upgrade for sure... look alikes they are sure to b heavy and probably give u less performance then anything. I know its easier to get these rims and im sure the car will look mint in them... but no one should say no to a good brake upgrade... especially if u r having trouble with yours at the moment... its what stop the car you know... haha

besdies some good tyres like the pontenza series on gts t rims will give you more then enough grip on the road...

then save and get some geniune rims... lets say something like P1 buddy clubs :P haha... ;)

and as everyone is saying... yes 5 stud does give u more rims to look at.

yea i guess so lol looks like ill be getting the brake upgrade hahahah cost a fair bit 700 hubs front and rear and gtst brakes off a series 2

i was thinking of doing it my self save a but of $$$$ has anybody done it them selves? is there any thing i should be more careful of, or any pointers would be most helpful to me oh and after i've done this i dont think i would be getting new rims very soon lol money money money lol i asked a tire guy and he said the enkei or advanti rpo3 or rpo1 would set me back almost 2 grand for a set with 8 or 8.5 up front and 9 or 9.5 at the rear, im trying to get it as wide as possible but would 9.5 inch by 17s fit in the rear? not really sure about it.

700 bucks aint a bad price. Take you time, do it right and do it once. There shouldn't be any problems. Just make sure youve got a socket big enough to take off the rear hub nut (I think its about a 36 - 38mm ), and a really long breaker bar for it.

    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
    • You think its the AFM? I know its a common issues on R32s. I find it coincidental how this issue raised right after cleaning the fuel system. As everything except the fuel system was fine before. I tried running it with the IACV unplugged but did not notice a difference and still stalled. However, the RPM gauge is not in the cluster right now, so I will need to connect the laptop again and use Nistune to check the RPM. I will check this weekend.
