R34 Gtt Related (wheels+brakes+intercooler) Question

[mmjc]

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.

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

Cheers

Pete

Hey Pete it's a GTT... will 265s fit on the front?

GTRs are OK but would have thought they'd be too wide for GTT front guards...

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
