Can you please tell me how it feels when you go over pot holes? Isnt that wheel hanging out of the guard which means the guards are going to be f*ked up soon :s

dave, that set on the 32 with the dark grey centre with polished lip look sexual. like BBS LMs (probably one of my fav R32 GTR wheels) but with nice curve in the centre to give it some depth.

you could try 11s but will definitely need some careful offset choice and at the least rolling/folding the guard lips and possibly even a little bit of flaring (doubt it though). fronts will be the same. need to fold the lip for sure and possibly remove the guard liners or at least modify them (can heat them up and re-shape them a bit).

I'll say it again, they look hot. 18X10.5 or 18X11 with somewhere between +15 and +20 and you should be right. could order them in +20 or so and adjust as needed with small spacer.

good choice mate. 17s look way better on R32s. all the tough R32s in japan run 17s. I once asked a mate why and he said (my rough translation) "it just looks right/proper/correct". :)

the only reason I guess most go 18s in for brake clearance but the right 17s can still fit some pretty serious brakes. my F50s with 355mm rotors fit easily under 17inch Nismo LM GT4s with a lower profile caliper I reckon you could get bigger rotors under there.

I do like the teddy bear wheels. tough call really between those and the CCW.

    • You know how your car rolled through a fence in your last jacking escapade? Scissor jacks increase the likely hood of that sort of thing happening immensely!
    • http://calfinn.com.au/product/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c   I have this and fits under a S3 33 GTR with no issues. Purchased in 2009 and not one issue. It was $950 back then. Not cheap but something so important isn’t worth cheaping out on.
    • Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?
    • Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).
    • Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
