Just curious what is the widest (and still legal) wheels anyone has put on an R32 GTS-T, remembering that they don't have the flared guards as in a GTR. I have just ordered R 17 x 9 and F 17 x 8 Simmons Alta wheels however a bloke at Simmons had look at my car and said that 8" would be the maximum one could use at the rear without flaring guards etc. I personally would have thought any R32 would easily swallow 9" wide at the rear...

Also I am ordering new slotted disc brakes for my car and I need to know if the discs on an Australian compliance 200sx (S14 or S15) - or an Australian compliance r32 GTR (there a few out there!), are the same as an r32 GTS-T. This saves custom making discs as I can just order those compatible with my r32.

My r32 has 9" on the back, they look pretty tough, but as my car is lowered a bit they sit about 1cm from the guard. You wouldnt want to go any wider with the same offset.

The front disk rotors are the same as on an S14/S15, but different to a GTR. You wont need to get custom ones made, DBA sell them, slotted and crossdrilled or just slotted. Look in their catalogue www.dba.com.au

Hope that helps

I think the ride height plays a big part, and the offset.

My rears are 8" wide with a +30 offset, with 245/40 tyres and from the guard to the centre of the rim is 345mm. (which isnt really too low)

My fronts are 7.5" with +25 offset with 225/45 tyres and ride height measured from the guard to wheel centre is 315mm (too low)

I now occasionally rub the front tyres, but when i raise the height back up to 350mm again it wont be a problem. Oh and my rear guards have been lipped

You guys running 9" rears, can you give me a little more info on the offsets.

OK im back, my ride height (from guard to centre of rim) is 320mm both front and back.

They rub sometimes when going over bumps, but i dont really feel anything, just get a little rub mark on the tyres.

Just reread ur first post and saw you were after the biggest LEGAL wheels. In Victoria you can only increase width of wheels by 1 inch, therefore 9" not legal. Dont know about Dee Why though.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Reading through the engine service manual their advice is do a cylinder balance test. Unplug one injector at a time and see if the idle drops a consistent RPM. You can also do this using a Consult cable which is easier. They also call for unplugging the power transistor, then with the engine off and the fuel rail unhooked from the manifold verifying that you have good fuel flow (even injection, no dripping/leaks, etc) when you twist the CAS by hand. Also verify the spark by pulling the spark plugs and allowing the plugs to ground and turning the CAS by hand. I would also start doing the sensor checks and idle valve checks in service manual. Make sure the MAF tests reasonably, the intake air regulator is sane, etc. You may have to get new spark plugs.

      This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way

      This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.

      Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
