Yeah they look great ronin but ive never really seen any on GTR's for some reason.

Anybody done any price checking on what customised FR19's are worth to suit a R32 GTR.?

What would be the widest i could get under there comfortably in 19's without scrubbing.

I think the reason why no one is running them of a GTR is because:

1. compared to a lightweight jap rim, they aren't that light

2. compared to a japanese rim (second hand, or even new) eg Work Emotion KAI in F/S sections they will be expensive (my FR17s were around the $600 mark each i think)

3. there are tougher looking exposed-bolt japanese rims SSRs or alike

On a 32 I would think a 9.5" or 9" will be as wide as you can go - PM "2GU UP" I think he is running 19s on his R32GTR - and ask him the offset as well. Then you can go to Simmons and get them made up in the same size (if they don't already have that fitment)

Hmm yeah not to worried about the lightness just looking for some nice looking rim's with abit of wow factor and they are quite a stand out rim, for drag racing purposes ill just stick to stock R32 GTR rim's.

Also have always really liked FR18" simmon's and now there in 19" it's something i think should look quite nice.

Somebody has told me simmon's are going to have them (FRs) coming out in 20's in the not to distant future, has anybody else heard that or am i just having my chain yanked.?

just look for a 32 GTR with Work Meisters. they are about as close as you'll get... i havent seen simmons on a 32 GTR before. ive seen them on a 33, but not a 32.

honestly i dont see the point in paying the money for the rims. not compared to lightweight japanese rims. my dad has some on his gt40....custom made 15"x13" they are heavier then my Work 18" x 9".

cheers

problem number 1 is they have soft rims... slight bump, aka small RTA sized hole in the road = flat section rim :)

here is a pic of my 32 GTR with R34 rims.... $2500 plus rubber for BBS made forged 18 x 9... u cant beat that!

I agree with Ben - they are soft rims - i had issues with my BMW.

PS, aren't R34GTR rims forged by RAYS not BBS?

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂

      Cas issue

      The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.

      Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.

      Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
