My partner wouldnt do the sexy pose for me.. and someone had to do it.

Cut out my suggestive facial expression to keep this thread work safe.

Damn, I'm in love with your car. There's something just soo right about a clean, aesthetically stock BB gtr

Thanks Chris :)

They aren't bad rims Marko, not exactly the lightest wheels going around but they do look quite nice IMO

I'm thinking about changing to matte black Enkei RPF1's 18x9.5 +15 all around...haven't seen too many 34 GTT's with RPF1's.

Thoughts or recommendations for other wheel upgrades?

how much effort do you think would be required to make an 18x9.5 +15 fit. im looking for new wheels but am wanting good traction as well as offset, so id be looking for something like a 255 on a 9.5 +20 but i fear it would take to much camber/guard work to get them to fit properly. anyone running a 255 on the front of a 34 gtt? otherwise id look at a decent 235 on a 9 +20, but does anyone know of anything comparable to say an xd9 in this offset? cheers

@Spark, nice yellow 34! Is that the 'DIY Lip' I see used all round, even on the skirts?? :P

Was wondering what they'd look like on the skirts if it really is so haha.

On another note, too many GTR's in this thread...

... making me jealous!

thanks for the kind words guys, makes me feel proud of my canary mobile :)

definitely is the El Cheapo DIY Lip kit all round lol turned out okay but im currently in the process of getting together a kit for it

so YAY or NAY for black RPF1's?

ahhbee: would take a bit and money to go into the front guards to make a 18x9.5 +15 fit with 255 tyres...a 235- sized tyre however, makes it a fair bit easier to fit.

I have a good mate with a GTT who is running 18x9.5 +15 all round with 235/40/18 tyres. Rolled guards, camber arms (mainly to go between track/street) and the slight stretched tyre make them fit quite nicely. I'd simply spend more on a nice, sticky 235 than a ok-ish 255 and be happy with that

This will answer your question :)

Matt black would really set it off!

I like these rims because they are very well priced and different to what you would expect to see on a skyline. If I had an r34, I'd run these wheels.

I was even thinking of buying a set for my 32 but they don't suit the car as much with the high detail and intricate design.

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.   
    • I feel there must have been a FB/insta post and the weekend did not start well at all I hope everyone is all okay
