Yeah, I definately recomend swapping to five stud - the four pot brakes are a descent improvement, but swapping the rear diff to the GTSt R200 LSD has been awesome. Far better traction out of corners and off the line.

The R32 GTS25 goes bloody well, because they are light and have a fair amount of power. But I've had the car for just over 4 years now, so it's about time I sorted the motor out and got some real horsepower.

4 yrs? .. wow .. that's pretty long ... i had mine for almost a year now and like you, i have no intention of selling it because 1) its extremely rare and 2) i have plans for it as well.

can you help me out with one thing though ... what are the exact specs for our model's rims? i am looking around for 17inch to replace my standards.

thks Ryno,

Genesis

The PCD is 4 x 114.3, and as you know the standard wheel is 15 x 6.5

I have 17 x 8's on mine, and that's about as wide as you can go (it's that close on the front, that if the tyre picked up a dog's hair it would probably rub).

So the safest option would be 17 x 7.5's with 225/45R17 tyres...

Hope that helps

im running 18 x 7.5 with 35 series rubber

they used to rub on the inside of the sideskirt

but we trimmed it and now they dont rub at all

and the car is pretty low

it was about 75mm from the rd at the rear

and about 100mm at the front

how long have you had it for? looks really good from the pixs... no damages/scratchs/rust watsoever i presume?

how about $80 inclusive of postage to brisbane?

i will probably have to do a bank transfer if i confirm on the deal.

hehe my rear ones got taken out as well for the same reason. I've designed a ibreglass box that should get around that problem... I'll post some schematics when I think they don't look like gibberish :D

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
