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 . :)

      R32 Nostalgia

      OK so I just bidded $500 on an R33 GTS4 that no one seems to want. Waiting on a call from the agent to see if I won. 32 GTS4 is for sale. I can't deal with the temptation to mod it.

      Might be there for work later in the year. Wouldn't mind catching up with you fellas - can't have too many beers, but will consume copious amounts of takoyaki while executing an asian squat on the side of the road while you blokes sort out your hangovers.

      Never ending fuel pump drama

      By Duncan · Posted

      I know one example is a anecdote not data, but I'm running the same Aeroflow 525 at full voltage through a regular relay, and while I've had other fuel problems including melting the factory fuel hat, the pump itself has been fine for years. Of course, they aren't *that* expensive these days, you could swap in a new one and see if the issue is resolve. I think you had a previous thread about fuel problems, have you been monitoring and logging fuel pressure? Is there anything voltage related (for example does the voltage go up when the pressure goes down)

      Never ending fuel pump drama

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      So last night pulling away from the lights, I lost power for about 1 second. Bit weird, but I kept driving... 5 minutes later the pump completely dies. When I tried to start the car, the pump won't even prime.  I left the car for about an hour, tried to start it and it all appeared fine. Pump primed, car started, got the fuel pressure I should have.... Start driving home, 5 minutes later it dies again. I'm stuck in a shit spot this time going up hill with a car right behind me, so I just let the car continue to turn over while praying to the fuel pump gods. After about 2 minutes of turning the engine over, the fuel pump came back to life and I got home (only about another 5 min away).  So I've been digging around online, it seems like the 525 fuel pumps really don't like to be run at 100% all the time. I've found quite a few examples online of people killing their Walbro 525 pumps within about a year of usage when they are run without PWM.  So, my pump is an Aeroflow 525 (AF49-1057) and I've been running it at 100% without PWM. I'm thinking the Aeroflow 525 didn't like being run at 100% and has burnt itself up.  I really am sick of dealing with fuel pump issues, my current thoughts are -  1. Use a Walbro 450 and run it without PWM. It seems like these pumps hold up pretty well to being run at 100% all the time. I only make about 350kw and can't see me making any more power any time soon so this is probably a fine option.  2. Get a Walbro 525, run it with PWM. I know doing this will annoy me as I feel like with only 350kw, its extra expense that I don't "need" and I'll be thinking the whole time while setting it up that I should have gone with option 1. I know I'll be happy with this option when its setup and running, its only the initial setup frustration and cost as an issue.  3. Get a Walbro BKS1001 brushless pump. This is the fu*k it I'm already going PWM, might as well go full retard. This option just seems better in every way, with the only downside being cost. But I don't know much about this pump so I could be wrong.  Happy to get everyone's thoughts before I go digging around in the fuel tank again.
