f**k, this shit again, really?

ok let me ask you this...did all the r32 gtr's from 89-94 and the v-specs from 94-96 have the engravings around the center caps? did any of them have holes drilled around the center caps? Im just saying...ive got the rare special edition Altia Falken GTR wheels that were only produced for the Falken GTR team. Ultra Rare bro.

Cast engravings and part numbers on all of course, yes. Drilled around the center caps no, that would mean not genuine Nissan. Regular GTRs 89-94 had the Nissan casting and Vspecs+N1s - 91-93, Vspec II - 94 had Nissan casting as well as BBS

The Altia/Falken R32 ran a 2 or 3 piece wheel, the R33 and R34 Altia cars had monoblock, same construction to what you have.

What you have is just an off the shelf wheel they sold way back in the 90s. Still kinda rare, I've never seen them.

This would be about the time I'd be looking to weigh one, and finding the weight of an OEM R32 GTR wheel, and seeing how much weight the teensy weensy holes have saved. Are R32 GTR wheels forged and scalloped on the rear of the spokes? Cos if they are I can't see the "Altia" ones weighing much less at all.

LOL they have gone from' N1 wheels with drill holes with no part numbers' to 'Falken GTR team ultra rare bros' all in one thread.

In b4, they are landing wheels for space shuttle atlantis

Aaaaaactually...space shuttles run 21x16s, and each tyre is inflated to 340psi, with a rating to 415kph max speed.

Sorry, I just hate misinformation... :google:

dude its pretty obvious that Altia N1 racing wheels made the wheels. They are not a genuine nissan part. N1 is part of the companies name......not some special edition N1 skyline model lol. My god. You just have a Altia N1 racing wheel that are probably slightly better than the stock nissan. But no one cares because its 16x8. It's really nothing special at all. It's just an off the shelf option. Who buys aftermarket wheels that are the same as the damn stock ones? No one. Rarity is not always a good thing. They are rare because stupid. There is also rare because ugly. Like most of the veilside catalogue lol. How in the hell you have convinced yourself that you have some special nissan few hundred made lightweight r32 N1 wheel is beyond me. This is why humans fail, we are gullible......quit trying so hard and go buy some 17 or 18's that fit better than those sunken battle ship junkers.

Sorry brah, my tyre fitter Mohammed at fullysicktyres said I can get Space shuttle reps in original 18 inch size, in chrome of course. He works in a tyre shop so he must know everything about wheels and tyres.

Perhaps. Or some old arse wheels from the 70's/80's.

I've seen those Magnesium wheels on YAJ but obviously not in those sizes (smaller 17" for Silvias).

Yeah i have not seen another set floating around.

Nor have i seen another set of my wheels in this sizing either... lol

i was being sarcastic in all my posts, but you are too stupid to realise. Do you really think i give a shit about some $500 wheels? get a f**king life mate, its just rims on a f**king car

    • Who did you have do the installation? I actually know someone who is VERY familiar with the AVS gear. The main point of contact though would be your installer.   Where are you based in NZ?
    • Look, realistically, those are some fairly chunky connectors and wires so it is a reasonably fair bet that that loom was involved in the redirection of the fuel pump and/or ECU/ignition power for the immobiliser. It's also fair to be that the new immobiliser is essentially the same thing as the old one, and so it probably needs the same stuff done to make it do what it has to do. Given that you are talking about a car that no-one else here is familiar with (I mean your exact car) and an alarm that I've never heard of before and so probably not many others are familiar with, and that some wire monkey has been messing with it out of our sight, it seems reasonable that the wire monkey should be fixing this.
    • 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
