Searched, coudlnt find much but i want to add 34gtr rims to my 33gtst.

Ive already had the front lipped back.

Basically the furthest ive gone was 18x8.5+30 which filled nicely... Im adding another .5inch on the front, with the same size rubber, ie 235/40...

My question...

Scrub issues, what can I expect? Can I expect no scrub issues like I did with my 18x8.5+30, or some scrub issues?

Bear in mind, my car is quite low, and I like it that way, and no way am I turning up the height!!!

Any info would be nice if someone has done it before

Regards

Jason

Ok so i went to try some bnr34 wheels on my gtst today... My gtst has the gaurds lipped back, aswell as adjustable castor bushes with the most castor possibl dialed in..

Running a 235/40/18r rubber, and my car is FARRRKING low, slight scrub full lock going into a ditch shaped driveway, ie worst case scenario...

Driving normally, hard locks etc, no scrub...

I will post pics tomorro when I do some in the daytime.. Till then, my reporting is that bnr34 wheels are the bomb!

That looks awesome mate! I always wanted to put R34 GTR rims on my Series 2, but wasn't sure if they would fit! My car is also lowered but I don't think it is as low as yours! May reconsider rims for my car :(

Congrats on the wheels and the overall look of the car!

Thanks for the comments... the rear runs 235 but thats what came with the rims, therefore ill be slapping on some 265 as there is still abit of room in the rear...

But ya, my car sits low, and i prob want it lower in the front a tad more which ill do this week. Still no scrub issues after driving 3 days on them and definately great wheels.

However if you wish to do these rims on your ride, you must lip back the front gaurds and possibly dial in some more castor by using castor rods that are adjustable, or adjustable castor bushes as I have the bushes and dialed in the most possible.

Here is a few more dodgy pics

Hey mate, that photo was taken at a friends house, and he has a white 33 with a similar kit, but white AV6 Model 6 rims in 18inch...

hehe, so only one gtst... BNR34 wheels are quite yum :P they grow on you and stick out nicely from the gaurds, not to overdone, but just nice :P

No dramas what so ever on full lock... It runs tein HA coilovers, but the backs are wound down all the way and I drive like that all the time... The fronts are wound down abit, but the front of the bar is approx 10cm off the ground, its either 10 or 11cm from the front of the front bar... I like it low tho ;) I want the back bit lower, but need to get coilovers that go lower :(

    • Ok guys thank you very much. GCG highflow it is then 🙂 
    • forgot to mention that when it does this it does not kill the engine, but I have not kept the pedal down long enough to let it, as I see no reason to beat up on it as its got to be something simple, small and dumb causing this.  And as soon as I let off pedal, the engine returns to its normal super smooth operation and rpms re-stabilize quickly, once below 4k. 
    • neither stumble or cut really seem to be an appropriate term....hard to explain its like a rev limiter but at 4k, but it violently shakes engine and entire vehicle as the rpms will not rise over 4k, even with slow acceleration. as soon as it hits 4k, it sounds like entire spark is lost entirely. plugs were 1.1 which I used as such, but later put in new plugs gapped down to .8 changed back after issue arose when I replaced the coils, still does it with either plug gap...damn and it was all running so good.
    • Oh how times have changed! I actually lean it out relative to my water/methanol injector duty cycle. The methanol adds a lot of fueling and you can then lean it out even more due to reduced knock. 
    • Yeah my thoughts are the same, a well thought out WMI setup, would be slightly ahead of just straight E85 and you're also chemically intercooling the charged air, dropping it even further. This is why you need to add so much more fuel as soon as you spray. I remember someone taking me through their set up before (Dennis, has a R33, lives around Cabramatta - no idea if he's still around on this forum). He would target AFR 10:1 on 98, then as WMI ramped on, AFR would lean back up to 11:1. Amazingly, he did this all through his PowerFC, a relay to cut power to his EBC solenoid if there was not enough line pressure on his WMI kit. And of course, if there wasn't any boost made above gate pressure, you wouldn't be accessing the load cells with heaps of timing for WMI. One downside to that rudimentary setup, once the WMI came on, the EBC would unleash the dragon, and of course all the timing. Tyres would fry lol.
