easiest way to explain offset is picture the rim. Now picture a line down the very middle of the rim. Now picture the hub of the rim being forward of that centre line. That is + offset. Picture that hub being behind the centre line. That's - offsett.

To answer your wuestion the Drift Teks you are looking at will be inside your guards. You will not have to modify your guards at all.

If that is all your budget can afford then go that option. Or save up some more and keep on looking.

PM me what your budget is and I will do some homework and see what I can find for you. I can get some JAP wheels fairly cheap or other wheels with decent offsets and widths for you.

Wow! I want this done to my guards, wonder how much a panel shop would charge?? if I could find a panel shop to do it.

old school racing (17x9 +24)

As you can see mine needs more low & lip/flare, GTR rims almost flush with guards, prolly stick out 2mm. I had to get the guards rolled at the rear, the fronts are standard and have never scrubbed (ride height = 350mm)

looks like youve got the s2 taillights as well.

THENIG - just some more low will sort it. and maybe a slight roll of the guards.

we run r33GTR rims on one of our race cars and with decent fitting tyres and they have stock guards.

the beauty with the dynamic camber on r32s is that as you go lower the more the wheel will tuck in.

ive just put some 17x9.5 work equips on the back of mine. ill put a pic up shortly and get the offset tomorow as i dont know what it is.

looks like youve got the s2 taillights as well.

I didn't know there was a difference, maybe mine look different because I am using LED globes in all four tail lights.

Yeah car deff needs more low, been meaning to measure how much lower I can go for a while & get some new suspension (mine isn't height adjsutable) only thing is it scrapes coming out of my driveway as it is (Damm GTR lip), so can't go too low.

Also I have a pair of silver 'type m' side skirts at home that I have been considering putting on, but would let them go for the right price if anyone is interested.

whats the difference from s1 and s2 taillights ??

i had s2 tailights on my old car and def looks like them on yours

they have a crease in the middle that follows the line where the boot finishes (goes horizontally across)

the s1 are completly flat

S2 lights have a line through the middle, lining up with the boot/bumper line. At least yours looks like it has those lights.

Nah its just the reflection in the picture, you had me going there for a while, had to go have a look at my car, it's 90' model, cloth trim not, I never noticed that the rear lights were different on a series 2, only noticed that some other 4 doors have a bigger skyline badge on the back.

yeah the whole chassis base is the same, only the body is different

think its 7cm longer than the coupe, the main differences are from the front windscreen back ie. doors, boot, quarters, seats, carpet, etc

    • How much have you lowered?  I had 350Z springs in the rear and was able to pull the camber into factory spec with the factory arms on the rear, obviously the front ran negative camber as it isn't adjustable, but rotating the wheels regularly evened out the wear.
    • Either the installer needs to come back, you need an auto electrician, or you need to learn automotive electricals yourself.   First step Id look at is where that big thing came out of, is there still things unplugged at that location? Maybe they just forgot to put a relay in or something?
    • Well, this is probably where a wiring diagram and a multimeter come into play.
    • I can say to anyone thats doing this; having done a number of R clusters; just be careful if its an unknown cluster.  It takes a bit of force to pull up; but if it feels excessive then its probably stuck. I've had this and pulled the entire hair spring out; and I can tell you; its not easy getting the correct spring replacement with the correct inner diameter and winding. In my case someone had used some sort of adhesive to stick it to the spindle and it pulled the whole spindle out; which the force seperated the hairspring from the spindal and caused it to deform.  You may have to clean it (IPA); or in my case if i'd known i should have used some sort of solvent on it.  Also check out Cruizin Central on eBay. He does all sorts of dials; and you can email him with any custom designs you want. So if you want like certain logos etc...he'll send you a mock of what it will look like then you accept the order and he'll take care of the rest. Fantastic dials and he can do basically any design you want. 
    • Have you confirmed its the actual axles? Also the wheel bearings that mount on the hubs to hold the axles wear out. I replaced mine as they got play in them. It sorted my play issue.
