They want me to run 19's kinda because I cant find any rims which suit my wants ..

Im going with koya race teks .. For a street parked r34 Im not going jap rims and If I did want to buy some $4000 rims id buy some american racing wheels they got some nice designs...

Anyways Koyas have wicked dish and deep black centres so should look good..

Hes going to run some 235s or 245s for the fronts if he can find them and 265s for the rears hes promised to keep it close as possiable to rolling diameter .. and he told me closest he can pull off is 1mm which im happy with..

However do you think these wheels will be strong enough to withstand some twisting driving and spirted driving? I know 19's happen to have a higher rate of buckling because of the size of them .. I assume a warranty would cover this ..

I really need new rims and tyres so these are the ones I want but I wanted them in 18's which is a 8-12 week wait which pratically means they have no idea.. So .. Ill have to buy new tyres in the mean time..

question is : WTF should I do

From what they've told me 19's shouldnt rub but if I do drop it ill prob need to expect it .. which is pretty understandable on full lock of course..

best thing about 19s is it will lift the car 2 inches up from stock which means my kit will sit legal height when its on

man i have the exact same wheels on my car. (19x8.5 up front - 19x9.5 at back)

I run 275s at teh rears and they sit perfectly. i run c/o sus. so i got the car as low as possible (with the guards rolled)

so they dont scrub, and teh car 'looks' low, but is well above the legal allocation thanx to the wonders of 19s!!

go for it.... be bold, take a chance!! (I too was being pressured into going only 18s purely coz ppl said theyll be to big blah blah blah - but im glad i went with the 19s).

And my car is a r32, which are smaller than r34s(you do have a r34 dont you?the car in the avatar has r34 wheels), so it wont look out of place!!!

G/l with it all, post up some pics when done,

Peter

Thats one hot 32 .. I particularly love the Decal.. I might get something similar in grey or red when I get finished with my other body parts..

Of course the wheels are supa sexi they actually dont look too big on the r32 so r34 should fill it out perfect... all you had to do was lip it? no inside work?

Ill be also adding coil overs so lets hope it dont scrub there.. whats the offset on yours and do you run spacers?

yeah mate, just rolled the lip of the guards, the inside of the guards are standard. at the front, i wanted to run 245s, but were scrubing the strut - therefore i cld only run 225s (but i will get some spacers when i need to get new tyres to allow additional space for larger width tyres at the front.

and they dont scrub on full lock. My addvice is deffinitley get coil over sus. to get the car as low as poss, without scrubbing (beauty of adj sus - gotta love it)

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.

      Skyline v36 350GT sedan hunting on idle

      By Robot · Posted

      Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣

      After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
