I was looking at Powder Coating my Advan's that came up a GTR I just bought but after the weekend giving them a wash and seeing what immaculate condition they are in, I thought they might be of more value to someone that wants gold rims. I am told these rims & tyres have done under 3000kms from previous owner, which was initialdennis here from the forums.

Rims are Advan TC2 with Hankook Ventura RS3 Semi Slicks in excellent condition! Rims have NO gutter rash, with the inside of the rim also shining like brand new!

I am interested in trading with some nice, immaculate 18" Black or Gunmetal Rims that sit mean and look great on a R32. They have to have function as well as look great! Some dish would be great, but not too fussed!

As you probably know, Genuine Advans are expensive and these rims are in immaculate condition, so I will put an asking price if anyone is wanting to buy them. If you have trades, let me know what they are and how much money you are willing to give on top, unless you have something of the same value.

Price- $3300

Also interested to hear what rim you think would sit the best on this car! looking to get dark tint soon and want to keep is as street as possible.

Look forward to hearing your comments and offers;)

And do you guys think 19" Rims are too big for this car? I have a set of immaculate BBS Challenge wheels with new rubber that i could powder coat black and put on. They are a great rim but I thought 19" might be a little big?

Yes 19" is too big. 17 or 18 is the right size, anything larger just look too fully sik & hectic basically.

You don't use different sized rims because a different rolling diameter will upset your 4WD system and a different tyre width will just make the thing understeer even worse than it already does.

Kool. What is the best size rims for a R32? I want 18's preferably. Thx

18x9.5 +22 is recommended for 32R's. As long as the car isn't excessively lowered. (with 265's)

You can do 18x9.5 +12 but once again make sure the car isn't excessively low.

(looking at that photo of your's it'd be on the limit for +12's without scraping)

Thx RBN1, I have adjustable Teins so could play around with height if needed ;)

Cool, go for the +22 's.

Your car is too nice to have the wheels scrape the arch.

sweefu, Wheels 17x9.5 Stud Pattern 5x114.3 and tyres 235/45/17 and they are in great condition. I would say in excess of 80% tread. I will offset ASAP.

I was just informed by previous owner they could be +22. Not 100% but pretty sure! Another pic on how they look-

Matt at Racepace told me yesterday these are some of the lightest wheels he has ever taken off a GTR. He also told me that I might be asking a little too much;)

    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
