18x12 rear unknown offset (there was no stickers on em and i couldn't be arsed measuring for now, just wanted em on)

20mm rear flare will just cover the tread on the stretched tyre but rim will still stick out, front will be fine with a 15mm flare.

not many things make a 33 look good as its a very bubbly and weird shape to begin with, but those flares on gtr guards are hawwwt.

Holy mother of god.

That first picture is porn.

haha thats fair enough, who did your guards?

did them myself, but will be going fibreglass wider guards, easier to repair, and by repair i mean replace haha. will just put a new pair of guards on every time i hit them.

Hey marko if u don't mind abit of painting cracking and rippling I can roll then flare/pump.

Just be careful you don;t pop the pannel in at the top when you stretch the guard to flare the wheel arch. i think with the amount that the guard has the be stretched in this case it would be better to cut and fill the guard at the wheel arch.

Good son of rajab those rims are stupendously ugly... no wonder u got them for $300... they should make pretty good track rims but argh, my eyes....

and i vote u get them powdercoated pink

-D

:)

they might look good fitted ?

Nah.

They wont

Sorry man :bunny:

Those rims >almost< make me not want to own an r32 gtr becos u have said they're associated with a 32 gtr. i feel like ive been raped n stuff... :~(

-D

But its got dish, therefore them wheels are baller as.

Probably paint the centre black though it does look fine as is and it'd probably suit something old school - although, do fit them to the Stagea and see how it looks - may or may not look good.

cleaned up all the rims with stone grinding drill bits, and sanded what I could

cleaned up the gutter rash with angle grinder sandpaper disc

painted the inside black, and the outside

bit dodgy but never mind I'll try another coat of black in an hours time

then a can of clear coat, rip off the masking tape and polish the dish some more

17x9.5" +23 offset

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
