Hi Guys, my first posting for skylines australia >_< i know this topic has flown around these fourums and many others for ages but i need some help. I have just picked myself up a 260RS which i have been paining to get for atleast 4 years and through that whole time all i could ever imagin on it was R34 GTR rims. So thats what im going to do... but there is so much gab going around that they won't fit, you can make em fit some say, u'll never get em in there others say, you need spacers and long wheel nuts...

Has anyone done the fitout and acutally got it to ride well and perform well?? if so what mods need to happen? any help would be appreciated. Thanks all

They fit no worries. check out my gallery if you want to see what they look like when on. darrinspencer also has them on his. my rear wheels are a very tight squeeze, but darrinspencers are ok, but I think that's due to my conversion, so you should have no probs.

Congrats on the car!

Wicked guys thanks heaps, i have seen plenty of them on the RS4s but was under the impression that the autech hubs and such were different... are the gtr rims 245s Rear and 235s fronts? theres nothing worse than having your brand new machine sitting outside ur office window while you work it just begging to be driven :(

do you guys have any ideas of cost for the rims? i have seen all sorts of different pricing around what do you thinks reasonable? if i need to get the guards rolled whats the best way? one of those "so easy your girlfriend could do it jobs? or is there a better (still cheapish) option?

Thanks people

while we are on this subject.. ( and sorry for the hijack ) but ..

I noticed with our car.. its got the autech rims on .. and you can see the track of the rear is wider than the track of the front.. and the rims have stickers on them stating the rears are for rear use only and the fronts for front use only.. so if you have directional tyres.. wheel rotation ( to ensure even wear ) is out of the question!!

Have a search thru the for sale section. Has been a few sets lately for sale

Sell price is approx $2000-2500 for a good set with no gutter rash and no tyres

Rim size is 18x9 30+ offset front and rear.

You can run any tyre from 235 to 265 wide on 9 inch rims, but 245's fit best on the stagea

To roll rear guards, take the car to a wheel shop. They have a machine that does it for approx $50 per corner

But you should not have to do it unless you put the wider tyres on.

Yes

The autech rims have a different offset front to rear

I think from memory fronts are 30+ and the rears are 20+

So that means the rear's will sit a further 10mm out each side

Wheels are 17x8 I think

Have a look on the centre of your rims, the offsets are cast on there

You will have to get tyres taken off the left hand rims and put on the right hand rims to rotate them

Fairly typical too when you have wider rims/tyres on the rear of a RWD car

Great mate thanks for the Input! ill try and snap them fellas up straight away, ill let everyone know how the fitment goes when i get them. I have the alarm install next week and will be fitting all my audio gear the week after.

Alpine deck

Alpine type-R Sub

Sounds nice!

I've got an Alpine deck running Boston splits in the front doors, with matching Boston co-axials in the rear doors, and will be getting a sub and amp once funds allow (most probably Rockford for both).

Yeah should be wicked, how did you go getting your tweeters in the A pillars??

Mine came with factory tweeters in the a-pillars, so I just removed them, ran new wires, and put the Boston ones in place of the old ones.

Yeah mine has the factory locations was just wondering how difficult it was to get all that removed... i think when i do the speakers in the doors im going to pull off both mirrors and check for rust... seems to be a common thing, i don't really want my doors rotting off.

A little off subject but is there a Stagea Audio install thread on here?? If not i might fire one up

GTR rims are 18x9 +30 and no rubbing? What tyres are you running?

Grant seemed to think that a 18x9 +15 was going to be a big issue.. Sounds like a crock to me >_< :laughing-smiley-014:

235 40?.....45? I think I've got 235 45's on mine: the tyres have that really stretched thing going on, because the rear rims are very borderline as to wheter they sit outside the guards or not. I'll check when I'm back in Qld again: mid-week. I even managed to get them engineered, as Qld law states thet the tyre must sit in he guards: they never said anything about the rim..... For the record, they do scrape with 4 people on board, but only a little, and I'm running SK's suspension package...

I'll get back to you about tyre size in the week....

    • http://calfinn.com.au/product/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c   I have this and fits under a S3 33 GTR with no issues. Purchased in 2009 and not one issue. It was $950 back then. Not cheap but something so important isn’t worth cheaping out on.
    • Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?
    • Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).
    • Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
