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

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....

      Cheers. Skyline is back on the menu, can’t get rid of it. It’s like a child you don’t want, or herpes

      I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.

      Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days

      It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
