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

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      Given you're running a 2.8 and my 2.5 is not really like for like, I suspect there could be a bit more timing you could give it. What is the kW yield per degree you're putting through it? Here's my E85 map to give you an idea, where it was I could still get another 3~4kW per degree thrown at it.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      It turns out that Setrab make a fan specifically for the oil cooler which is great and I've installed it with minimal swearing. I removed my 2x 12in push fans from the front of my aircon condenser and wired them into this. My main thermo fans kick on when I use the aircon anyway and would effectively already be working as puller fans through the condensor which is infront of the rad. The push fans (understandably) didn't really do much in the config they were previously in so now they're out. Now we're on to the "Oil fan doesn't really do much either!". Yes I'll duct it next if it does nothing in heavy use which it shouldn't. But hey, the object exists and fits great and is cool. Let me have this. The car is still in the "do my fittings leak oil now? do my wheels actually rub?" phase. I did a spirited drive on them and didn't hear or feel anything. Then I got back home and noticed there were grind marks on the inside of the rims, though I couldn't see where they were touching I got out the grinder and attacked the suspects. Note: I do not know how to use a grinder. Then I realised I had dragged my new rims across my concrete driveway before I did this drive. I didn't think I had damage at that time when I briefly looked...... but remembered this occurred after I did all the angle grinding. The grinding on the wheels in some very specific spots. It's not around the whole rim for example, which lines up with dragging it across concrete more than hitting a suspension component for even 1 full rotation. So everything is currently painted and taped up and I need to test it some more to see if it really IS rubbing, but from inside the car it doesn't feel like it is. In other news I attempted to do a before and after comparison of the heads/cam upgrade thing. Dynos lie, everything is in different measurements. Here is the data from the sandown back straight. Car go faster than before. Vroom vroom.

      Here's my base ignition. +3 correction to redline when shooting water/meth which is always on. Looking at my old ignition table, I should be able to add 1-2 degree's next time I'm on the dyno.  Let me know your thoughts.

      Given what I know now - same haha, but this was 12 years ago with second hand 740cc Nismo injectors in my S15 daily, I was too busy hunting elsewhere for the issue to even look at the injectors, running through some cleaner was a happy coincidence haha

      Not a terrible idea. But if I ever had concerns that my injectors were sufficiently dirty to be causing me a problem, they would be out of the engine and onto the actual injector cleaner/testing bench.
