Hey guys ..

I tried using the forum "wheel offset" thread but 56k modem is killin me with so many pages..

So does 19" rims fit a R34 GTT without mods..? If not what needs to be done?

Seems they fit GTR no issues but im worried about the GTT as its slightly different..

9.5 rear 8.5 front .. Reason why im asking is because Im gettin el cheapo rims and (axis hiro or Zenetti Kaotic both in black) need the 19" to get the right sizes/offsets..

So anyone help?

One of the forum members here have 20s on their 34GTT. Depending on how low ur car is..probably will require slight lipping of the guards.

For offsets:

Rear you should try around the +38 - +35 max

Fronts +35

Just a guesstimate...ultimately best way would be to try on the wheels...offsets and widths can be pretty tricky once u go bigger wheels...not to mention front brake caliper clearance..

Yeah I noticed your last Works S1's where +35.. sitting right in there .. Did you have rubbing issues or anything?

How often does lipping call for a repaint?? i.e only when they f**k it? or often?

Fronts should clear ok with the rims im looking at .. Going stealth I think Couldnt decide on the perfect wheel.

Doubt ill be able to test out the wheels but hey can always ask, do they test fit when new?

a lot of ppl confuse lipping and guard rolling or flaring. As I understand it, lipping is only flattening the inside of your guard lip, no paintwork will be affected or cracked. Guard flaring on the other hand will involve heating the panels and rolling them out...thts when u run the risk of paint cracking.

My Works were 18x8 +35 still had plenty of room to move! I'm now running 18x8.5 +30 at the fronts which is the most i'd recommend before you start needing camber adjustments or guard mods to fit.

i've got 9.5 at the back and 9.5 at the front with 265s front and 285s rear.... guards are lipped and the suspension is set at 2.5" less then factory height... the rears sit well inside the guards... fronts scrub only on absolute full lock at low speed but its nothing bad or annoying... rears are fine but the tires wear out quicker on one side which sux... apparently getting adjustable cambers will solve the problem or something like that

while im at it how much am i looking at for decent tyres 19" vrs 18" tyres and while im on the above point Alien.. Im pretty sure the rears have adjustable camber already.. I think the fronts dont.. Ask sydneykidd he told me .. so u might be set..

R34's in general ussally wear to one side anyway especally a GTR and especially the fronts

I'm not sure anymore man. I stopped buying used tyres. But if you are after good brand used tyres, I can give u a lead... an example is 18" Michellin Pilots for about 90-110 depending on the meat they have.

Yes, 19s will fit no problems, as long as no lowering has been done, otherwise you will have to either live with some scrubbing or go to a smaller tyre size on the front which is where your trouble will be(if the rear offset is correct) although watch out where you buy the rims cause some dealers make the sale and thats it, while others will try them on, even take them for a spin if your unsure once fitted making sure there all good before you hand over any cash.

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
