I think they're restricting it purely to models that had a GT-R designation, which the C210, R30 and R31 missed out on.

There was one 'proper' one made when the owner crashed theirs after like 10 minutes and Porsche weren't interested, so they gave it to a coachbuilder. IIRC.

Agreed. Also, lack of amber indicators makes turn signals way less visually obvious and it's damned annoying. I hate indicators built into the tail lights.

The 96-97 JDM DC2 ITR is 4x114.3

Next time you think you know something you should probably check your facts first, instead of making a stupid rear end incorrect statement. Those wheels are even from a JDM Type R. Perhaps you should move to a different section of the forums.

I was wondering the same thing.

Maybe the suspension is designed to have less camber when the car is loaded with fuel and a driver?

Hmm, I didn't know this either. I figured it was a really clean clone with Volk CE28Ns so I didn't really look close (to see if it was RHD). Now I'm curious if someone brought an ITR over and plated it... there is an R32 GTR in the parking lot occasionally so it wouldn't surprise me.

No, it wasnt.

Believe it or not, this was the at the time best believed setup to work with the technolgy and tyres they had. One of the big things they wanted was a all wheel genuine drift which sticky tyres and heaps of neg camber stop. The positive camber thence allowed the tyres to slip better and allow more throttle response to the drive when it's on a proper drift.

So basically, you couldnt really steer these things with the wheel at full race speed, it was all footwork.

Tracks also were no where near as good as we have now too.

We can laugh at how wrong they were at the time but it did work impressively well with a driver with huge balls.

Hm. Now that I look for it, I do believe I see positive camber there as well. Good eye!

Saw a 991, they're really good looking and not as awkward as photos seem. I like the rear way better than the 997s.


'02 AP1 fest, the one in red is so original it still has the S02s.

All North-American Integra Type-Rs had 5-lug wheels. They never had the (much better looking) facelifted front-end either, you shitlord. I imagine that is not a real Type-R, but it looks pretty clean. I suggest you stop being a pedantic human being (pejorative).

Close. Bias ply tires were poo poo, but the culprit here is the poo poo metallurgy and steering design. Everything then used kingpin steering, which is bulky and weak. Positive camber puts the contact patch of the wheel under the kingpin, reducing the torsional force on it(and the bearing) and reducing or eliminating bump steer. Wagons had been using this trick for centuries.

And they didn't want an all wheel drift, it was just a byproduct of bias ply tires and their inherent sidewall flexibility. Early car tires would give 20-30 degrees of slip angle at max load, giving the appearance of a slide while actually being in full grip. Think of those slo-mo videos of drag racing tires wrinkling up, only it's the contact patch going one direction while the wheel is facing another. Modern tires still do this, it's basic physics of tire grip, but they only give a couple degrees of slip angle and you don't really notice.

edit: I'm in a really angry mood tonight. :(

He's not even right anyway, these are the stock 96 spec wheels (they're only 15"s)

You're arguing about whether wheels on an old Integra are stock JDM in the picture thread, by the way. Seriously, shut the gently caress up you dweebs.

Pretty much - more simply, they didn't have a wheel design with sufficient negative offset to do it any other way.
