what are these 15" and 16" things you talk of? How do you spell that? "W... E... A... K"?

18+ or GTFO. Your car is gonna stand out like a midget in purple pantaloons, do yourself a favour and make sure your wheels are just as outrageous.

lol It was the Sportmaxx 501s that I originally ordered (16x8 +15s...), but after waiting 2 months and being told I needed to wait another 6 weeks by the Aussie "supplier" apparently due to a second stuff up in the order from the warehouse in the US, I told him he could stick it and give me my money back. Feel free to PM me for the name of the company.

The problem I had with going too small is the massive radius of the guard lip, it tends to make smaller wheels look like shopping trolley wheels, regardless of how wide they are. The only solution with smaller diameters is to dump it stupidly low, which then makes it too impractical for every day use.

I ended up buying the white Meisters, which despite being 7" width (bear in mind the factory alloy is 5.5", the steelies are 5") should be cherry ripe for the offset. Now to hunt down a factory strip kit in white to match...

UGLY?

I really think you need to have another look,. modular one piece forged wheels extremely lightweight as used on some rather tasty European cars. Here is an example of an Audi R8 and a R35 GTR.

Actually, while I have your attention for a moment, have you ever seen leather (MSpec) R34GTR seats come up at the auctions? Do you know a rough price I would be looking at?

    • I feel like I'm missing something. You had an authorised installer come out and install a new alarm. Post install the car doesn't start, and you aren't getting the installer back to fix what they did wrong?
    • So either way it is gearbox out and look what is wrong?  I know about the input shaft bearing. Even before swap/new clutch the it sounded exactly like this: So is that inout shaft bearing or the other was installed backwards?  And can some please tell me the part number for that input shaft bearing? The gearbox is small box from R34 N/A and number is FS5W71C. Thank you  
    • I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'  
    • D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.
    • KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
