Hey I'm looking at getting some new shoes for my R32GTst

My two choices are below I've also added tyre choices I think might be suitable to make them fit but I'm not 100% sure wether specs exist...

Work CR KAI

F 18x9.5"+20 5/114.3

Tyre 225/45

R 18x9.5"+12 5/114.3

Tyre 245/40

Work XD9

F 18x9.0"+20 5/114.3

Tyre 225/45

R 18x10"+18 5/114.3

Tyre 245/40

At the moment i am running

F: R32 GTR 16x8 +30 235/45

R: Panasport G7 17x9.5 +17 255/40

Ive still got room for growth atm and also wanna go with a stretched tyre setup...

Have adjustable upper arms to increase camber to tuck em in if needed, but if some one with experience can guide me or tell me that this is impossible or possible and what i am overlooking or not

Thanks in advance guy

:blink:

I have a 92 r32 gtst, im currently running Black /polished Work XC8's 18x8.5 front at +30 with a 225/40r18 and a 18x9.5 +38 rear with a 255/35R18, I run 2.40 deg neg camber on the rear and with rolled guards i can just get my pinkie between wheel and guard.. Ground clearance is 110mm on car..

I have fitted 18x10 xd9's on the rear with a +38 and they fit ok with the 255 tyre but had to dial in .20 deg more camber.

heres some pics to show you the stance of those on mine..

I can also help you get these wheels as we sell heaps of Work from my shop in Brisbane

Cheers,

Paul

Lenso D1R

F-18x9 + 20 with 225/40

R-18x10+ 20 with 235/40

Sat a little bit mexican but that was with barely any suspension work, just threw the wheels on without adjusting anything.

:banana:

9.5" wide on the front?? I dont think that will fit at all!

As for the two rim choices, both are very nice - my only issue with xd9's is that they look smaller due to their design.. most of the time 18's look like 17's.

Thanks for all the replys guy please keep them coming.

bros: Paul, ill be in contact with you soon

J-dawg: Jarrad that looks FAT dude, would love to see pics of the new shoes!

r32line: thanks

Below are a few more pics of how it currently sits, Riding on HKS Hiper Damper II Coilovers, JIC shorter upper arms front

on the rears are Panasport G7 17x9.5 +17 with 255 Falken Azenis,

Up front are R32 GTR Stockies 16x6 +30 with 225 Pirelli Dragons

At the back ive got about 3-5mm clearance but its a big tyre,

and up front i have minimum -3deg camber wit at least an inch before wheels goes anywhere near the guard

thanks again

p.s. i know she needs a clean but hey shes a dirty pig!!!

    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
