Hey, this is definitely an issue of personal taste, but I don't reckon fully chrome wheels suit at all...a little chrome (as in the rim outer) looks cool but any more doesn't work for me. As for rim design - I reckon 5 spoke wheels, standard or aftermarket really suit the R32.

Here's the wheels I have on my '32:

They are 17" Longchamp XR-V, some obscure Japanese performance brand. Mine have gunmetal inners with chrome outer rim...looks really nice on my gunmetal 'line!

Oh yeah, wide rims look great - make sure your rear rims are deep dish, ya gotsta have dish!! ;) Trust me it looks crazy!

Here's a pic of the rims on my car:

Your car looks sweet, RaseR!

Why can't Australian wheel makers make cool wheels like them? Huh? Why?

Is there some unwritten law somewhere saying that Australia has to produce ghey wheels? (I know about Drift R...)

Hey Rezz, thanx mate!!

Those wheels were one huge factor in persuading me to buy that car!

But yeah I totally agree - not many really nice wheels sold in Australia....Most of the time they are either elcheapo HSV imitations or 'fully sik' chrome stylez. Very few decent rims with any dish on 'em either...damn it, when will they learn!? ;)

LOL - this being said, there are probably heaps I don't know about!

    • Well, yes, every CU on the bus is available via the Consult port, but whether the scanner you are using is capable of talking to the TCU, the ABS/TCS modules, etc etc, is what is at question here. Many of them are only for engine codes. So, if you have one of those, you won't know if the ABS is having a bitch.
    • That's now. R chassis Skylines come from a time when the tolerance in the ADRs was a bit more....slack. My car, on 235/35-17, which is damn near the exact same size as the original 205/55-16, is pretty much bang on correct indicated speed across the whole legal range. That's demonstrated with constant speed run over 5km, and GPS speed. It's just the luck of the draw. My particular speedo head has to be the thing that is "calibrated" that way, because everything else (the diff ratio, the gearbox and the speedo drive**) are all same same as most other Skylines. **OK, so the speedo drive is a Navara unit to drive the R32's cable, not the electronic unit than an R33/4 would normally have with teh same gear on it. Otherwise, I applaud your OCD tendencies, and I would do the same if I needed to.
    • Not too sure, I believe the Nissan consult port does everything? Also just filled up the reservoir to full and the light is still on. The float seems to move up and down fine.
    • The speedo's can be very conservative, when my Mazda NC MX5 speedo is showing 118kph, the GPS, and a calibrated radar.... cop mate.....hits me at around 110kph +/- 1 or 2 kph, and that is on a 215/45 17, stock tyres size is 205/45 17 as well, so weirdly conservative with stock tyre size When my Commodore speedo red 116kph GPS had me at 110kph on 255/40 17, so again conservative Google says manufacturers need to set the speedo from 4 to 10% slower than actual road speed.....for safety.....and compliance  After doing some offset and clearance measurements to see what can fit the NC on 17x8 +40, without guard rolling or rubbing anything at my current ride height, I've decided that when my tyres are toast, I'm going to fit 225/45 17 and see where that gets me IRT actual speed of my speedo and GPS/radar From the online calculator I should be still be doing around 5kph under an actual 110kph when the speedo is showing 110kph My ADHD requires that when I'm doing 110kph on the speedo, that the actual road speed is actually really close to that, and not alot slower And going from 205 to 225 still keeps the car within the %/mm allowable in the NSW vehicle rules and regulations, which is nice, as long as I'm looking at the latest version that is.....LOL https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf
    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
