Here is a pic of the rims I bought about a month ago. I bought them second hand (not a mark on them) from another 32 owner. They are 17" x 7.5" Koya K-55 machined chrome, not sure where they are made (i think japan). They also come in chrome chrome. The studs around the outside are gold colour. I thought that it might clash with the gun grey, buy they ended up looking sweet.

I have always wanted white 5 or 6 spoke racing rims tho, i think they look hot with grey.

Makaveli - what colour is ur 32?

Here's some wheels I dig...

Google them!

Buddy Club P1 QF

Racing Hart 6 spokes.

Sparco NS-2 Python

Volk Gr.C

Not such a big fan of Enkei but I do like the Enkei TS-6 as seen in NFS-U.

Now this game has maybe 30-40 sets of rims and they are all pretty much horrendous.

T.

uh - ROH DRIFT R's come in 17'' 18'' and 19'' and they are sold at any ROH certified dealer - maybe Bob Jane T Marts? It dosen't say on the ROH site go to www.ROH.com.au there at the bottom og the HTML one :D

I love many of the Jap rims, Volk/AVS etc etc... but they are all so pricey. If you have the $3-4000 new then good luck to you, otherwise you are still looking at around $1500 on up for 2nd hand.

As a rule i dont like chrome rims on any Skyline, but if you are after a new rim, then id say look for some thin 5 spoke 17" rims, then depending on cars colour get thenm painted white or graphite.

I think the cars ride height can make good wheels look ordinary, so as lond as your car is lowered with some nice larger diam rims then there are plenty that look good.

Unless you want to rip off inner guards and run spacers, and perhaps still have rubbing then id be sticking with 17s, much easier to find a rim that fits properly, still look goods in the 32s wheel arches, and cheaper meaning you can possibly afford a nicer style of rim.

I think the best value rim around for the R32 is the HR Racing AVS Model 5 look-a-like. There a shadow chrome wheel, go for somehting like $1650 new with rubber for 18s.

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
