Off the boat from Japan. Just a peek.   TE37 Magnesium put aside for LMGT1   Not detailed for a while yet. After compliance, it should happen.   Titaniu

Haha, nah my offsets aint nearly that tuff!

The trick is to fit correct size tyres for the rims (235/45 and 255/40 here) and also make sure the camber isn't too negative.

They're 17 x 8 + 35 with 235/45 fronts, still at around -2 degrees camber though, and 17 x 9 + 38 with 255/40 and -0.5 degrees on the rear.

I'd prefer to have the fronts more flush too, but this setup gives me less scrub as a daily driver (even with rolled guards)

Oh, and I'd heard that Regamasters were pretty light, but I was amazed once I actually had the old rubber off them.

I didn't have any scales handy, but I reckon they'd be lucky to be 4kg per rim!

thats a massive tyre.. spose you want good traction or something

Haha, I aint no drifter. I have a spare set of Dunlop semi slicks stored under covers for special occasions! :thumbsup:

On another note, I think we met ages back on a V.I.C. cruise to Arthurs Seat. I have Advan Tri-spokes back then.

Jap_star, love your genuine TE's... no Vaarstoen copy there!

I've just always wanted 235's and 255's to perfectly match 8's and 9's... get the same style tyre sidewall etc.

Oh, I almost forgot. How the hell do you attach a full pic like yours? All mine come out like thumbnails!

Cheers, yeah im thinking of getting rims next, i really like the TE37's haha, i like the stance you got there with your car. Whats the general consensus on sizes and offsets for a r33 without rolling the guards, kinda of a broad question but i wouldnt mind some feedback on what you think for mine.Ive been reading about staggered fitts? just unsure of the offsets really.

Cheers Josh

Well alot of people will tell you that you cant go bigger than 9.5" on the back and 8.5" on the front. But mine are 10" on the back and 9" on the front with no guard rolling (as you can see in the picture)

However, mine has a little camber from the lowered springs, and they are 17's where as most people prefer 18's

But I look at my car in pictures like this one and think 17's are enough :D

(There are 255's on the back in this pic though lol)

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kapr · Posted

      Yeah i found that alot of parts can be wrong or "very" hard to get the real right one. I already bought some brakes years ago on me "old" GT calipers and they were wrong too 😄  I told them too. Even send them pictures...but they said "EBC catalogue has them on my car... So i dont know what their answer will be. I call monday them and let them know that they are really not on my car. If they were they would be already on a car...

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      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.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kapr · Posted

      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.

      R34 Gtt Wheel Offset Advice

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      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?
