Hey Guys,

I'm new to the forum(hello) Own a 32 GTR *gunmetal grey

Trying to decide on a set of wheels for it atm have been in discussion with the guys from Option 1 and am really keen for a set of Rotas.

I guess im just after some photos of GTR's 32's in particular that people have Rotas fitted.

Looking into the following style:

Rota Grid R Matt black or gloss black or hyper black 18x10 +12

Rota GR6 Matt black or Matt grey (as seen on white S15 in Option 1 post) 18x10+15

Rota Torque Sports bronze or Matt black 18x10

IF you could help me out with some photos, how you have them fitted, how low the car sits with them etc etc.

Im basically stuck between 3 wheels i really like.

Thanks guys.

JD.

Hey mate, don't have any pics sorry, but you check out www.visionr.com.au . Wei is his name.

They are an official distributor in Perth and do sets really really cheap. I'm tempted to get some Rota's :P

Ahhh thanks mate.

Yeah have looked around at few things, BBS, Stern, 34 Gtr wheels all from Japan but just CBF and i like the rota's modelled off some other lovely wheels haha.

Also brand new and can get some really good tyre packages with them especially through Option 1.

Thanks for the link mate.

Thanks mate,

Yeah I trawled through google images and heaps of online forums (driftworks, stance etc etc) found some things.

Just interested to see some of the new GR6's in some different colours and how low ppl have them sitting and how the profile of the wheels look.

I will keep searching or maybe just bite the bullet and just get some black ones.

thanks for the pics mate.

Those are the P45's right?? they look heaps good mate. A mate of mine is running those in 17 on a silvia in black matt, looks great also.

Thanks for the pics they are roughly same size as what i wanna go. ride height bout the same as what i would have it also.

Haha noticed from the last pic, you got the plates i wanted lol.

Thanks mate.

Hey Guys! so finally got my wheels after a long awaited ordeal haha.

Couldnt get the Matt black Grid wheels as they were out of stock! noooo so i went with a new colour the Gun Metal which is dark charcoal black with a gold fleck and i reckon it looks really good on the car.

fittment 18 x 10 - 15 all round. fronts are nice rears might add in some camber to sit a lil better. might lower the car ever so slightly but this is a while of yet. for now im quite happy.

PICS:

did u have to roll your guards?

did u have to roll your guards?

Nah mate!

Perfect Fittment, great stance, poke out an appropriate ammount, probably just on the legal limit for police aspect. but they look dope.

Was out with a mate over weekend and had a identical Gtr in front of mine going around the shops and he commented the massive improvement over stock wheels (other gtr was on stock fittment) he said it just looked way meaner.

My car is appropriately lowered and im quite happy with them. Let me know if you want any more photos to show you?

    • Wheel alignment immediately. Not "when I get around to it". And further to what Duncan said - you cannot just put camber arms on and shorten them. You will introduce bump steer far in excess of what the car had with stock arms. You need adjustable tension arms and they need to be shortened also. The simplest approach is to shorten them the same % as the stock ones. This will not be correct or optimal, but it will be better than any other guess. The correct way to set the lengths of both arms is to use a properly built/set up bump steer gauge and trial and error the adjustments until you hit the camber you need and want and have minimum bump steer in the range of motion that the wheel is expected to travel. And what Duncan said about toe is also very true. And you cannot change the camber arm without also affecting toe. So when you have adjustable arms on the back of a Skyline, the car either needs to go to a talented wheel aligner (not your local tyre shop dropout), or you need to be able to do this stuff yourself at home. Guess which approach I have taken? I have built my own gear for camber, toe and bump steer measurement and I do all this on the flattest bit of concrete I have, with some shims under the tyres on one side to level the car.
    • Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it. 
    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
