Thanks for the compliments. I try to keep it simple. Form over function. Those rims are OE rims off of a 13 year old car that costs these days well under $10k (unless you go to Motorex and pay 3x~4x what they are worth in Japan). Most R32 GT-R owners have already bought replacement rims and have no need for the stock set. I got this set that was in pretty good shape for about $500 when I was in Japan back in 2001. The front offset is too much for a stock car, but with swaybars and extra camber dialed in, the fit in snuggly and don't rub. Keeping the sidewalls about the same as stock makes it nice around town.
No, I will not show the driverside (damn SUV's :rant: ) :redface:
Those 259~265 runs were at 15#. At 12# it was pushing 250. It is a stock turbo, that I am sure of. With a stock i/c (for now) and stock turbo it is pushing too much hot air for it's own good. But that'll all be taken care of soon enough. But there have to be 720cc secondaries and some sort of chip to make them work smoothly. I looked for a chip a while ago, but nothing looked out of the ordinary. At least it wasn't marked as anything special. I've never had the injectors flow tested. Why bother I figure. They work and this is my daily driver, so it's not really feasible or even makes much sense to find that out. I'm not too sure what the previous owner did with this car, but it wouldn't surprise me if he did do that. Without the big exhaust last year, it only put down 187 to the wheels and was running extremely rich. That should have told me something wasn't normal with this car. It had a CFDF clutch in it when I bought it. Not exacly something that a non-enthusuast buys to replace a worn out stock piece. The engine is not original, but I don't know how many miles are on it or who built it. It doesn't have any porting as far as my friend with a ported '89 T2 can tell. He said it felt like his old powerband prior to his streetported engine, only more of it.
I run at as many autocrosses and lapping days as I can go to and this car has yet to let me down. Two and a half years and counting. Hey, it runs well so I'm not complaining.
