Is this the one that is:

Grade: 5 (New Car Condition)

18,000 km's (Has existing log book history)

Window tint off, exhaust raised, lowered 15mm, Lambda installed, now to pull some fuel out of it. Happy!

Sad to say this will be the last photo with the BBS wheels. Had a rock jump into the wheels last night and get stuck between the calipers and the nuts, shearing 7 nuts of the back of the studs (about a 1/4 of the wheel). The tire deflated (thankfully slowly). I think this is extreme bad luck but, after using the wrong silicone on them and having to redo all of them, this is the end of my love affair with them.

Sooooo bought these.

LMGT4 still in 17 x 9.5 because I like a little bit of muffin top.

Any better pics? Looks awesome.

No better pics yet - waiting on a set to come through from Japan - hopefully this weekend - otherwise Monday.......

I hate waiting ;-)

Ohhhh and sheeesh -bad luck on those BBS's they looked great :-(

Nismo LMGT4's are better wheels anyway :)

What offset are they?

17 x 9.5 is a nice size for the R32 GTR.

+12. Might rub?

You should be fine and will fill out nicely.

Your ride height is low, but function low not stanced low.

So you will get a nice flush look, so Tyre / Wheel directly under the guards (no poke / no sunk).

If there is any poke / sunk, it will be marginal.

    • Congrats on the career change!  I did something similar at the start of the year too, left IT / corporate after nearly 2 decades. Soooo when's the motor coming out for the spark plug change?
    • Hi guys, long time no post as per usual! It's been a busy year so far, the biggest thing being a new job.  After 28 years in the automotive industry I decided it was time for a change.  I was losing faith in the industry and where it's heading.  Now in a completely different industry (electrical) working for a company that manufacture water pump contollers.  Not as sexy as cars but it's an interesting,  challenging industry. I now don't work Saturdays which is a bonus!  It's still 50-55 hours a week but having Saturdays ack after 28 years of working them is awesome!   No news on the GT-R but i did decide to add some more JDM goodness into my life....           1990 300 ZX.  She's not perfect but for a 35 year old car she ain't bad!  Just going to tidy it up a bit and enjoy it.  It's currently auto but will start stockpiling everything for a manual swap. It WILL distract me even further from the GT-R but im hoping not for too long! It somewhat proves a 6'8" freak can fit in a 300 ZX.  Sort of...  I drove it home from the previous owners house in Melbourne via Black Spur and Merton Gap (2 awesome bits of Victorian twisty road) and it was amazing!  Handles so well!!!   I don't think it would be worthy of a full build page but I'll post up some of the upgrades here if anyone is interested?  Cheers guys!
    • End game is to: - Remove all the slop from old worn parts - Adjust setup so that the wheels actually fit and the car is drivable (currently it is not because of the extreme rubbing on the guards).   Progress over the last couple of days, removed the rear hubs! Next steps: - Buy bushings - Replace bushings/bearings on hub - Reinstall
