First of all, please forgive my ignorance. I am new to this site and found it to be a great Forum and has great people!

Can a 18x9.5 +30 wheel fit onto my R34 GTT seriesII? My car is stock with standard wheels and suspension. I am looking at changing my wheels to one of the BEE-R/Nismo LM types. (also similiar to the Drift Tek Wheels I've seen so far, but Drift Tek only comes in 17s at this stage is my understanding). Any photo's from anyone with these type of design wheels in a GTT?

With this settings, will I have any clearance/rubbing problems? even with full turns? I am planing on fitting 235x40xR18 rubber in the front and 265x35xR18 rubber at the rears. I also plan to fit some coil over suspension when I upgrade the wheels.

Lastly, has anyone heard about Rota wheels and where to get them in (Victoria) or Australia?

On a separate note, I have a set of Brembo calipers but not sure if I can use them. They are brand new Brembo Calipers made for BF Ford Falcon premium brakes setup thus, I was told that i have to fabricate some sort of bracket to suit Nissan. I am however, not sure of disc thickness requirements for this calliper as well. I have checked out DBA specs and found that Nissan and Ford has minimal difference in thickness for replacement rotor/disc. Any brake experts in here?

As for fmic, anyone know of brand(s) of front mount intercooler kits that utilises the factory plumbing? Reason is i don't want to cut any holes, or cut any body works to fit the fmic.

Thank you all in advance! Keep it coming! Cheers,Michael

Hi Micheal,

Welcome to SAU

Those wheels will fit fine. Why don't you go for the 265 all round? This will be much better for you as you can rotate tyres, wheels and whatever else.

The Brembos may or may not fit. You'd have to compare them to a set from a GTR.

Check out www.nismo.com.au and have a look at the GTS-T braking section. they have caliper repositioning kits which look the goodness. I wish I have a set, put it that way.

As for the Front mount, the HKS kits use the standard piping on the passenger side, you wont have to cut holes in the body, but with most kits you will need to trim the fron bar a fair bit.

:O

If you are in Melbourne, you could come and check mine out if you like.

Cheers

Pete

Nah, Plenty of guys have 265 all round.

Adzmax, GTTR34 and a few others.

Ask them for their offsets and you'll be fine.

If I was to get 18s, I would be getting 265 all round. In Buddy Club PII.

Cos they are the sexiest wheels on the planet. Lots of DISH BABY

Thanks for your response guys. Appreciate it. Yes. I am in Melbourne, can you kindly provide me (PM) your contact info? I would be delighted to come around to have a look at your car & setup.

Buddy Club PII? what wheel is that? Any pictures i can get off any websites?

I understand that the BLITZ R34 intercooler has a plumb-back system as well (seen the picture on AutoBahn n/Blitz website).

I have also heard that the Apexi FMIC does that as well, but I have not seen the actual setup till date.

These brands could be rather expensive though...

Anyone heard of ROTA brand wheels? Do you know where I can get them? Cheers, Michael

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
