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

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
