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

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
