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.

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....

    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
