Righto, so I got all enthousiastic tonight and decided to take some more snaps...

She needs more low, but I reckon I'll save that for another day when it aint daily driven.

what sizes regs? looks like 17x9 +18?

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!

You can always go 275/40 :whistling: lol

Hey guys i just picked up my first skyline a few weeks ago, thought id post up some pics. Fairly stock, just pod/exhaust and a bride seat with a boost guage. Loving the car and looking into doing a few mods soon. :teehee:

Looks mint mate, congrats :thumbsup:

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)

    • Haha, i kow right? Could have bought so many cars for the same amount of money (or less) but driving Unicorn gives you at least +1mln to style 😅. Like wise man said "life's to short to drink cheap wine and drive boring cars" 😉
    • Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny  
    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again 
    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
