Ok so i got a HR32 GTS-t and i want to get a new set of wheels, just wondering what everyone else with 32's are running and what you think. If you have pics and dont mind sharing em please post them up and let me know any points to look out for or plan ahead getting a new set of wheels. I have been lookint at the ROH Adrenalin wheels at the moment in the shadow chrome finish. i want to put a set of 17's on all aorund, maybe 17x10 on the rear and 17x8 on the front, with DOT slick if the $$$'s are right? The wheels i have on the car at the moment look to stock and once i find a buyer (which i hope is soon) i will be looking at a new set.

:P

GTR rims (r34) will look sweet as. Might need to roll/lip ur guards though (and they're expensive.

I fell in love with AVS Model 5 rims in Bronze at first sight.

The colour of ur ride would go well with some 18" white TE-37's =D

I think i saw a pic of them, what make of wheel are they or do yo have a pic at all???

I was thinking that gold or white would go well with the blue...

Hmm, here's the best i could find. Sorry, can't find any pics of them on a car.

Cheers for the pics, gives me something to look at at aleast. Wouldn't mind finding a set of white rims as i think they would look good :)

The current ones on there look ok if you ask me.. a bit bland, but they could be worse.

Personally I wouldn't be running anythting larger than 17's on an R32 as you may well have guard rubbing problems. Tyres are much cheaper in 17" if you drive hard also. Depends whether you drive your car for show or go I guess.

Wheels are an expensive thing to spend money on a car though... $2000 odd dollars can buy a heck of a lot of other mods.

I hear what ya saying predator about costs but they way i see it is if i seel my wheels (say $500) then put another $1000 towards them thats not that much really and im not out to have the quickest car with the most Hp's at the treads, just a neat looking tidy daily that i can have a bit of fun in every now and then.

Ok i hope the owner doesn't mind me using his pic, but these are the wheels that i was thinking about (or something similar) so if anyone has any other pics of info pass it my way??? Much appreciated GMB

Rowdy32 will be able to help you out with the correct offset for 17" wheels if you want to squeeze 265 on the rear without rubbing. I have 17x8s all round with a +35 offset, they are the white wheels in my sig

Also have a spare set of gold AVS Model 6 rims with +30 offsets that wrok fine/look good, and had an old set of Model 5 AVS wheels with the same +30 rear, but +25 fronts...and again they cleared everything and looked the goods.

So when running 17s with 215 fronts and 235 rears you can get away with a range of sizes and ofsets, if you want to maximise the tyre widthwiths then PM Rowdy32:)

If you are going to drift the car you should get some cheaper rims for than mine.

Koya wheels have just released a copy of the nismo LMGT4 wheel, you coudl get 4 for the price of one of mine id say and then have them sprayed whatever color you like :rofl: if you destroyed one atleast you could get one localy NEW and CHEAP

My two cents ;)

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
