Ben,

I have the same LM GT4 (19/10.5 +15).

How did you manage to get your rear wheels to sit so far in/under the guard. My rear rims stick out a lot more than yours.

And I think you mentioned your tyres are 285 wide. What brand are they?

Thanks

MIchael

Hey Mic, now you've got me stumped, as they just bolt on mine! Tyres are Nankangs. Pics of yours mate? I'm interested to work this out.

I need to meet someone with a decent camera! lol Here's mine, snapped with a 2 meg Nokia :laugh:

Nice C-West body kit!

Nismo LMGT4's looks GREAT!

You need a better offset in the rear tho.

More of a Negative offset to fill out your rear guards.

IMO :D

Here's the pic Benny

I'll snap a pic of mine on flat ground in the garage this afternoon. I'll also grab a straight edge try and gauge some measurements re gaurd clearence with that.

It's also worth noting I run close to 3 degrees of neg in the rear.

Thanks mate :laugh: These genuine kits are so nicely made! I was astounded to see the quality compared to our home grown copy stuff.

Without much camber in the rear, the wheel is actually nearly level with the gaurd, but as I've now got about 3 degrees on it, it moves the upper wheel in a little. I small spacer would be sufficient if it bothered me, as I'm not going to order new wheels, they're kind of expensive. I'm led to believe these are also the only offset that Rays make them in 19x10.5. :D

If I were to go a full body kit on a R34 GTR, C-West would be the one, with the Version 3 Front Bar. which I think it what you got.

Can't say I am a fan of the silver mesh though...

Or Nismo Z-Tune Front guards and Nismo Body kit is another I would go for.

Ah yes, spacers will help! +1 for that.

I too have a (from memory) 5mm spacer in my rears, just give it that extra fill out.

What offset is your wheels?

Is that the Yokohama ADVAN R34 GTR in the last pic?

As in the Hi Octane Racing one?

That car is Friggin awesome!

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
