Hi guys I am gonna be getting some new rims for my car soon and I dunno about the offsets and stuff like that for the car, I've done a few searches but have no clue lol. Anyway I was after 17 inch Volk f-zero challenge rims. Also what would happen to the spare tire in the car? do I need to get 5 17 rims to put 1 spare in the boot? Thanks! :mellow:

Regarding the spare... No, you don't need to get 5 17" rims. But you can if you want.

If you ever need to use the spare though, only use it temporarily and NEVER, EVER but it on the rear.

If one of your rear tyre's blows, replace it with one of the wheels from the front, and put the space saver on the front.

This won't kill your LSD as fast as putting the space saver on the rear will.

You might have a working LSD, but you will also have reduced steering response and braking grip!

I'm pretty sure that you only ever use the space saver on the rear. If you get the correct size tyres fitted to the new rims, then you should have the correct rolling diameter to not put any stress on the diff.

Agreed...............

Fit the space saver on the rear. I'd rather have braking and handling, any day.

      I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.

      Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.

      Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
