i dont think that looks "aggressive" at all. just silly. oh well different strokes for different folks.

there is no "or" option. the wheels are illegal so you have to remove them. you could remove them, get the defect cleared then put them back on, but you will just get defected again. could get pretty

in which case, "most people" you speak of should in fact not be buying skylines.

The extreme stance crowd doesn't care about how a car drives or performs. As long as it looks cool to their mates. These guys don't really like cars, they like trends and fashion.

Lol, most people don't buy their skylines primarily for the RB, they buy it for the appearance and the idea of owning a 'skyline', why not make it look good?

hmm, im in the minority then cause i fell in love with the RB30ET in the VL turbo , then discovered the RB25det.. in my opinion.. one of the best motors ever..that is the whole RB family.. and the supra 3Ltwin turbo motor is also up there, probably better..

Such people should be taken outside and shot.

so you're practically saying that you don't really care about the looks, so if they put an RB into a hyundai excel, you'd buy it?

What he's saying is a car like a GTS-t/GT-t or GTR is a waste of a car if it's owned by people who's primary concern is looking good. Let's be honest, it cheapens the brand's image and allows Skyline owners to be stereotyped as fully sick uleh. Kind of like what's happened to Supras.

Basically people that buy skylines to rice them up or look cool are no better then the numptys driving lancers with bodykits and chromies, all there doing is giving the skyline a bad name and reputation, there is a big big difference between someone upgrading there car for looks or performance, all these guys on stance nation or whatever have rocks in there heads seriously.

Back to the main question, you can still have decent offset or dish without running mexican fitment or overly stretched tyres, just have to pick the offset and style of wheel to suit.

Hey guys!

Finally got my rims, which is the reason why i started this post!

The wheels sizes 30+ offset all around with 10.5 width rears and 9.5's at the front.

Tyre sizes are 255 35 at the rear and 225 35 at the front.

There is a little bit of poke, and the tyres are stretched pretty nicely.

To the people that said any type of poke is illegal, you're wrong, kid you not, got pulled over literally 10 seconds after installing these wheels, cops did not say anything.

If there anyone who is getting wheels on their gtt's or 25gts feel free to pm me for info cos i did a whole lot of research to get these sizes.

Just because cops pulled you over and didn't book you doesn't mean that it's legal. for example, i once got pulled over with bald tyres and didn't get booked.

nah man, if you didnt get booked for bald tyres, that means its legal, especially in the wet. you get more traction with the steel wires sticking out.

i cant understand why people want there tyres out side the wheel arch or why they get tyres that dont even cover the rim, It kinda defeats the purpose of bigger rims.

The section of rim thats out side the arch throws up rocks,stones, dirt as there isnt any wheel arch to catch any if it, hence why they are illegal.

In saying that, it all comes down to the HWY patrol officer and how much he knows the law and what car he likes and doesnt like, seriously!

If he likes your car he'll leave it alone, if he dislikes it, he'll go on the war path.

      The alloy coolant reservoir has a sight glass, so as long as I can see coolant in the sight glass it's GTG, as for PS, it isn't anything catastrophic if it gets low, and as it hasn't lost a drop since I have owned the car I cannot see it being an issue, even after putting the "big block" 2.5 in....LOL The only time it gets slightly messy is at oil changes, as the oil filter sits above the frame, and I need to use a plastic bottle with its bottom cut off to catch the flow when loosening the filter

      Single Turbo Conversion On R32 GTR.

      By Duncan · Posted

      Good on you for taking on the job, but it is a big one. Even if you have bolt on manifold and turbo, you will need: Post throttle pressure source to boost controller to wastegate (and FPR, and ECU/MAP sensor) Pre throttle pressure source to top of BOV(s) Oil feed - you can take that from the standard port in the middle of the block Oil return to block under the turbo - this is much trickier than it seems to route a decent/wide pipe past the manifold. You really can't use rubber hose because it is way too hot there, and also the oil out of the turbo core is a bit frothy so it needs to have a decent diameter Water feed - you can take that from the standard port in the rear of the block. Water return - mine runs to a T into the heater box return, just make sure you don't create a high point making bleeding hard. All of those lines should use 200 series style teflon braided hose with heat shielding because everything needs to be routed past the manifold. Also a turbo beanie is a really good idea to minimise the chance of the car catching fire (under bonnet lining in particular) You also need to decide a cam cover breathing solution as well, will you vent externally via a catch can (probably illegal) or return to the intake (plumbing required and can oil up everything over time) Keep in mind the intake and exhaust piping in the engine bay will be custom so you either need to be able to fab ally and steel or have someone you can get a car that isn't running to. Get the wideband fitting welded into the dump pipe at the same time. Also, just my opinion, a screamer pipe attracts attention and doesn't add power, I'd plumb it back if you want to be allowed to keep the car on the road. BTW do you know anything about how healthy the motor is, and what power you are targeting? Doubling or tripling the factory power on an unknown motor is a little risky. Also fuel system will need some attention (pumps, high current hanger, direct power and earth feed, injectors etc)
