I'm buying some 19s for my R32 GTS-T, wanted to ask if there is any difference between a GTS and GTS-T's break calipers, because i was told a GTS-T's are bigger and not all rims will fit on them.

Could somone let me know if this is true, I thought it was only the GTR that was bigger

it shouldnt make a huge difference, look at the offset of the rims and the pcd. GTST's have a pcd of 114.3mm if your rims have the same or even if there 5 stud multi's you should b cool, just watch for guard scrape and inner rubbing....might need to roll em and pump em

r32's can have up to 3 different types of calipers.

r32 non type m gtst or gts - have twin pot sliding piston calipers fronts and single pot sliding piston rears.

r32 type m gtst and gtr? - have 4 pot sumitomo piston calipers fronts and twin pot piston calipers rears.

r32 gtr vspec - have brembo brakes which are bigger again.

pcd's dont have anything to do with caliper clearance.

however offset does have a little to do with it, but i have found the most pain in the arse thing about rims is the x-factor.

the x-factor is the spoke design of the rims. the problem is there is no set measurement of spoke design, and is not a numerical or describe-able value. they either clear the calipers or they dont. (ie. chunky spokes or thin spokes)

hope that clears things up. its late, so if anything is wrong please correct me.

eug

I'm pretty sure it would be a non type m gts-t because of the price that i got it at, So i'll go back and tell them that it should be the same as a gts-t's and get them to check the offset on the rims and my car and take it from there, Thanks guys.

How abouts buying them on condition that they fit? or just fitting them to see how they go? as long as you get the offset ok, they will fit in the guards (not sure about 19s though, not even 18s are recommended for r32 gts)

Then the only trial and error part is whether the hit the brakes or not.

if your front brakes look like:

they are 4-pot gts-t type m calipers.

don't think you'll have any problems as long as you choose the correct offset.

I'd be more worried about your guards...

Yea thats what i'm going to do and if they don't fit i'll go to my next choice and so on.

Yea JiMiH is right, I've seen a few R32's sitting on 19s with plenty of room, Guess it depends on how low my car is sitting weather they will hit or not.

Still its better to be safe than sorry, I saw a RX7 on 20s once with its ass almost scraping the ground with all crinkled up guards from the rims hitting,

Wasn't a good look :)

Also here are some pics of the rims im thinking of buying, let me know wat you think guys.

This last pic is of rims i would really like to get but i can't find a place that sells them,

Anyway guys let me know which one you like the most i'll be buying them in a few days.

Also keep in mind the car will be blood red with gold perl with crome and white graphics on it and have a Bee R R24 body kit on it which makes it look like a GTR R34 from the front and a bit of wide body work aswell, I think any of the rims above will suit it well but i'd like to know wat everyone here thinks.

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
