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 :(

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.

      ECU sees many times the speed than speedo does (R34 swap)

      It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.

      I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
