Well my wallet's a whole lot emptier now, after I just bought these rims to go onto the R32...

For those interested, its a 18" x 9" with a +3 offset in front and a 18" x 10" with a -9 offset at the back, which should hopefully allow me to fit them onto the R32 hubs without any rubbing etc, and with a couple of 10mm spacers should see em sit flush with the wider guards.

Now I need to find someone who can fix up the rims (restore the clear coat and give it the polish of its life). Anyone able to reccomend companies?

There appears to be an acceptable level of dish.

Carry on.

PS did anyone ever see the Gemballa at Duttons? We went last year and checked it out - the DISH on the rears was supreme...

An acceptable GTR namesake, methinks :stupid:

dish seems to be the new age rice... ah well... its the only shit that fits my car and fills out widebody guards.

Now if only I can get all the f**ktards that advertise yahoo auction rims on NS and SAU to quit bidding against me, I'd have gotten it for half the price I paid.

BN Sports now make the same kit to fit R32 GTR guards as well. I've got the widebody kit for the GTS shape.

Denham, yeah project's been stagnant due to financial commitments in other areas of my life :cheers: after allt he R32's a daily driver. Plus I got the AE86 now which is being built for track use so I'm not gonna go over the top with the R32, just a kit and a moderately powered engine (which is why I'm selling the TD06-25G turbo kit as I don't want 500kw at 6000 RPM).

PS I like the way BN sports decided to black out the background but not what was showing through the side and back windows haha

yeah, its an interesting tint on the windows isn't it :cheers:

thats seems like the way things are going. .sounds like in vic you have to have a dedicated track car, and a shitbox/death/pollution machine for street these days.

yeah shits me when I see a set of rims for 70,000 Yen buy it now (Just under $1000, shipping etc should come to $500 max) and then I come on SAU and I see someone advertise them for $2600 landed. And worse still they don't even include the other 2 photos of it showing dents and scratches.

ah well, if you're dumb enough to buy off em you ought to get ripped off.

I AGREE 100% Shan, it seems alot of sellers in the import parts business via yahoo auctions are quoting alot higher margins on the landed prices... so much that it really put me off. I'd rather just buy new stuff for a few hundred more. pffft

      I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed

      Recommendation for engine oil funnel spill free

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.

      Fuel Pump Control Module & Dropping Resistor

      By EndZee · Posted

      Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
