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)

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.

      Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention

      So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34

      From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
