I bought the car over from Adelaide back in june-july 2009 and then sold it to a friend in november, but then bought it back off him 2 months ago as he couldnt afford to fix the hail damage that it inflicted the car nor his repayments on his loan... soo i couldnt resist his offer when he asked me if i wanted it back

[mattlikewhoa]

That's the best colour EVER for a GTR

[gdzlr33]

That's the best colour EVER for a GTR

Agreed !

Nice power, have you given it a run down the quarter mile yet ?

[debmatt09]

Nice colour mate!

[snozzle]

hmmmmm i wasnt aware of this thread - it must have got accepted ages ago when i thought it didnt lol..

i may aswell post up my updates:

Pics:

I have been collecting a few parts

Car is booked in for a tune on 2nd of feb

hoping for 320kw

[RB25PWR]

To be honest I think the rims are a complete mis match... and holyyyy tyre stretch?

I hate to jump right in there with a negative, apart from the rims the car looks mint, perhaps lower it a tiny bit more. GL with the tune!

[UWISSH!]

how is that tyre stretch???

ok the top pics look a little stretched but bottom picks look fine

top pick looks like old tyres

i dont mind the rims on the car, what size and offset are they?

what size tyre aswell?

[Count Grantleyish]

I need all the tissue I can get cos it's not sex, it's PORNOGRAPHY!

+1 on wheel and tyre specs please.

[MattsR33]

I think the rims look awesome on it mate!! Bloody good effort. Very clean GTR

[snozzle]

haha those first set of pics show the tyres that came with the wheels when i bought them, they were 225 40's - took them off within a week as i was scared the tyre was going to pop off... WHICH IT DID luckily it happened on a cold night when i parked my car and not while i was driving.....

i now have 245 40's on them and it seems to be perfect, although the front wheels rub on full lock with is annoying but i guess i have to put up with it lol

rims are 18 x 10 -15 on the front and -2 on the rears

i originally had the -15's on the rear and they stuck out ALOT and the -2's on the front just sat flush so i just swapped them over and now they have averaged out - i guess the front gaurds on the 33gtr are bigger than the rears haha

yeah im planning on lowering the fronts some more but my coilover is at its lowest.... if i want to lower it anymore i need to change the springs

[UWISSH!]

wow thats crazy offset mate. dont realy see to many gtrs go under +10.

whered u get the rims from?

is having different offsets playing up with the attessa tho?

[snozzle]

no, the rolling circumference of the all 4 wheels is the same, thats all that matters

i got the wheels off a widebody s13.5 that i bought which i stripped for parts - i kept the wheels

Edited January 23, 2011 by snozzle

[Count Grantleyish]

Can't stop drooling...

As Chris said, crazy offset indeed.

That's it, I'm selling my 32 GTR.

[Tu.6TT]

Love your GTR mate, looks mint ! Quick Q's where can i get one of those air intake guide thingy ? they seem to be very efficient ?

I want one for my GTR

[snozzle]

thanks man, i have a soft spot for r32 gtr's too dont worry! equally jelous

Tu.6TT:

are you talking about the intake snorkel that diverts are into the airbox? if so, thats a genuine item - ill be selling it as soon as i have my pod filters installed which will be in about 10 days

thats a nice gtr mate. i also have a series 2 97 v spec.

now for weeks been wondering to put clear front indicators. now seeing your pics i think i will leave it, orange makes them stick out.

hear is a pic of my gtr.

[R33RWKW]

f**k yeah, that looks sweet! i want your headlights

Cheers, Yeah they really do make a difference.

You're right, your orange ones look great. I might change mine later down the track. I'm first thinking about replacing my Rear Wing Blade, bonnet lip, and Front Bar Slots with the N1 Carbon Fiber Equivalents. Nengun are selling a Car Shop F1 Carbon (Weave) Bonnet Lip, but it is $245.00. Just Jap Racing sell the N1 lip for $195.00.

I don't know if the Nengun item is better quality or not though. I will have to ask a few questions.
