Cheers for the advice mate,

Just one Q. though, Shall I go for 19X 10.5J + 12 or 19X 10.5J +0 offset?

I think it would be safer to go for 12 as I am a bit concerned about +0 offset might intefere with the fenders.

34 bodies eat up 17s. Even 18s look a bit small.

Not sure if your overfenders are wider than 34s, if you had the option of going 0 offset, I would have built the guards around it a bit more.

+12s will fit flush/slight poke in the guards, but becareful, you may have rubbing when turning in the car - best bet would be to try them on if possiple.

Word of warning, 19" tyres, especially in 275/285 are real expensive.

Cheers for the advice mate... real appreciate.

Yeah, I guess the best way to find out is to try them out & buy but since I am planning to import the wheels directly from the US without going through a local middleman, I might have to make an order without trying them on first.

I will consider to go for +12 then... so really nice example of R34 with the wheels I am thinkin of buying (T37 copy, Varrstoen or something it is called) in Down Under.

19" must be much more expensive compared to 17" but well, since we have both Kumho and Hankook tyres here in Seoul, I will wait for a real bargain to come up!

Thanks

Now, ... my build project isfar from being over, yet bodykit exterior part is almost done and wanted to share some pics for those who would be interested in converting Bnr32 into Bee-r324.

Thanks Simon, yeah.. I just used my old canon to take a pic. maybe I should get DSLR for better shots.

Nice colour.

Looks good.

Need better and clearer pictures to show the body off.

Excellent work, turned out very well. I know it's only personal opinion but that colour would look so much better with gold wheels or at least bronze. The black wheels seem to get lost as they are the same colour as the tires. This hides the width of the wheels and seems to ruin the whole purpose of the wide body in the first place.

How's your progress on R32 conversion? I also recognized this bodykit but when I gave a thought on wheels & tyres suitable for the kit... I just couldn't come up with an idealistic plans. There are many disputes over Bee-r324 kits since critics say it ruins the whole classic identity of R32.. which I agree but the city where I live in is full of new European cars and I simply couldn't stand locals looking down on my skyline due to its "old school" looks and I decided to be different. Well it kinda works fine on roads and I see less people sneaking in front of me even I maintain the "3 seconds" traffic rule.. lol.

I have changed some exteriors since then... got rid of the carbon boot and added Uras wing & day light LEDs.

The vehicle is yet far from its completion but well I have something to keep me occupied . :)

      Admittedly in that screenshot its doing about 13psi but later on in the log theres definitely spikes to 16. What is missing though is the massive peak, then a big drop and then a recovery. While it does go a little higher than I would like on base pressure, I think it's reasonably safe to assume that boost control via the mac valve should be a lot easier to control from here on out. I wasn't game to hook up the mac valve today as it's very wet and it's on the verge of fighting traction as it is.

      I think this is still wrong. There is something crappy with wastegate priority (or the f**king absence of it) if you can't get below nearly double the base spring pressure. But if you're happy with what you've got, upload skid vids now.

      So a further update for this one. Turbosmart were very gracious and took one look at the wastegate and said this is our original version, we will just replace the entire thing and send it back to you. So I fitted the new wastegate with its new revisions and took it around the block on spring pressure (9 psi spring). Appears the minimum it will do is about 16psi. Keep in mind this is only 2nd and 3rd gear pulls. I think the issue is fixed compared to what it was doing before however I'm happy to provide more logs if anyone thinks theres more to the story to uncover

      Surely, if you have the indicator in hand and a pair of verniers, you can measure it up and draw your own cut template? I mean, it's got to pretty clear what has to pass through the hole, what has to sit on the outside face of the hole, and what has to be able to pass through and perhaps clip into place on the back side.
