i looked at rotas.. then looked at some rota broken pics.. and like mmm..

yeh funky there +12 the bottom is +21 and looks mint enough, also low so should be ok, he didn't state any spacers.

i was thinking of buying one of the rear diffusers from psiparts, but unsure of how low they sit.. i like them but if it looks retarded with stock body then hrmm..

yeah look not a big fan of the Rota's either, but those boys have to rep the wheels they sell in their shop otherwise their customers will go "why aren't you using them if they're so good?"

but as far as stance and fitment goes, that 32's done right... even for a GTSt.

dear alex,

fuck off.

kind regards,

please don't weigh in on this when your choice of cars include a poopra, a 300zx and an MR2. :P

:happy:

i like my whale anyways.. plus 32s are nice but such a small % are done right

dont all be jumping on the rota band wagon now you know they suck

Tuff fitment Alex!

Shan, what car is this?

wot?

he has Face 2 +12's all around.

you have Face 1 +21's all around.

your wheels are sunken in by 9mm compared to his, AND you have lower brake clearance cos the spokes on your rim run straight and not curved (hence the different Face's). He isn't running spacers. You may have to, cos it may hit the shocks. You may not have to, you'll only find out when you get the wheels... but regardless your wheels will sit roughly 1cm further into the guard compared to his unless you run spacers.

comprende?

so could organize a half cage for me? bolt in street legal?

don't make bolt ins. race cages or GTFO. we get secondhand safety 21's from time to time... call roshan (0425855540) and find out. tell him shan asked you to call him, and also remind him that he's a giant knob jockey.

yeh i know i was just talking about the car in the bottom 2 pictures :)

I love when the R32 V R33 debate sparks up. Most of the 32 fans will find some of the best looking 32's around, post photos of them, and then post photos of white/burgundy s1's with stock wheels and no kit as a comparison, or a veilside kitted 33...

Having said that, before they start crying, I've been contemplating a 32 GTR...

lol my 32's not a looker by any means, so I don't post it up. But its like the perfect wife... knows how to take a solid beating like a champ and keeps on working without attracting attention to itself.

what? :)

although with these wheels I'm bidding on, GTR fenders, shaved bumpers, CF bits and paint, it might stand out just a touch.

    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
