I had 10's on the rear and 9's on the front of my R34 can send photo if you want

that be awsome man, pm me or just post away :mellow:

i know all u guys think it sounds stupid but its gonna be insane.

like hektik insane or jus ridecalas insane?

nah we're tryin help, but you need to get the right info first.

hahahha sall good. yeh i guess ill have to get back to u guys when i get some more spersifics.

wat do u guys think about flame throwers?

:(

:D

:rofl: don't start andru, if u start talking about flame throwers, make sure u have ur flame suit on :(

I have a question about offsets...

I am looking at the brembo gt big brake kits that use the f50 calipers.

Here is the pic of the clearance guide,

CaliperClearance460.gif

A= 43

B= 122

C= 200

Would someone explain to me what would be the minimum offset rim I can use? I assume its +43mm but want to be 100% sure before I order some wheels.

I'm not too sure what offsets you would need, but I just wanna let you know if you didn't know already is that there can be two wheels with the exact same specs and one could clear the brakes and the other might not. You have to look at the design of the wheel's spokes as well.

The A measurement isn't offset. All that says is you need 43mm min clearance from the back of the spoke to the back of the hub at about a 200mm radius. (you probably need about 48mm to be safe to allow for rocks and shit).

That said, most GTR offsets will give you that sort of clearance, 9 +18, +22, 9.5 +15..... they all have heaps of room in that area. I'd say some 17's might be a little too small to fit over those calipers so you will need to be careful there, or go 18's and be certain.

If in doubt, trial fit.

if u are buying jap wheels like work or rays they normally specify disk type ie: low, standard and high disk clearance...normally denominated by the letters O, A and R disk. Makes it much easier to shop.

Yeah, Ray's wheels usually have the disk type and tell you whether or not they'll clear your brakes as well. I'm pretty sure they tell you whether or not they'll clear the standard GTR and Supra brakes, but I'm not too sure if they'll tell you if the wheels will clear aftermarket 8pot brakes for example.

Best thing to do is trial fit before you buy.

a bit hard when your buying rims that no one has in stock.

any suggestions?

    • A few things that seem a bit off here. - why is there 2 BOV’s?  - the turbo smart BOV on the compressor housing, is it turned up ALL the way? I have seen this become an issue on old man Pete’s car. It would push open and recirc, turbo speed would rise and the boost pressure would do weird things. - stock head? Does that include springs? - tried a different MAC valve? Is it plumbed correctly?
    • Photo of manifold showing gate location? I mean, it's 6Boost, so we probably shouldn't be worrying, but always wroth knowing what the layout is. Plumbed back to atmosphere? Or into the dump?
    • Yes correct. Also, I'd avoid applying it to soft paint (however I doubt you'll ever have to deal with it in practice). So any paint that hasn't fully hardened, could be a 1k paint that never fully hardened or it could be a 2k paint that was laid down thick and hasn't yet fully hardened. 
    • Bit of an update to this one. Having some issues on the dyno that held us back (boost spiking) and I want to pass some info over you guys and see what you think is wrong with my setup. The current readout on this dyno is 462rwkw on a low reading dyno so keep in mind it is a real world 500rwkw setup on a hub dyno. Don't read into the power figure too much as a sign of the issue. The short and curly of it is: 2.8 Litre Racepace build RB25 NEO N/A Head with VCT (internally standard however ) Borgwarner EFR 8474  Turbosmart 50mm Straight Gate + Mac valve 6Boost Manifold 4" dump to full 4" exhaust (nil restrictions) Wastegate plumbed back in and all angles in the exhaust system are acceptable and not too sharp. GFB SV52 BOV in cooler piping  Turbosmart BOV in EFR Housing   The issue we are having is it comes onto full boost for example at 4000rpm and spikes to 24/25psi, before dropping down to 17psi before slowly rising back up to the target boost of 23psi. It was extremely uncontrollable and the tuner actually had to ramp in boost progrssively with each 1000rpm on each boost setting we selected to try and reduce the amount of spiking. Sometimes we would see a drop of 10psi from the peak at the beginning of the run, to the low, until it took the next 500-1000rpm to stabilise back up to the target boost. The tuner is pretty confident that the straight gate is just a poorly designed product and leaks too much boost upon cracking the gate open and theres no way to fix it other than going to a poppet valve. He's also confient theres no ignition breakdown or floating valves. The fueling is extremely stable as well. Turbo speed is somewhere around the 109,000rpm area. The spanner in the works for me is that prior to this Borgwarner and StraightGate, the car was tuned on -5 twins at a diferent tuner, and he also had issues controlling the boost with it spiking around the same rpm range, so to me this sounds like the same issue and it can't be anything on the turbo side as this was all changed and I think the behaviour is extremely similar, if not the same. We also removed the mac valve and did a run on wastegate pressure and it still spiked and had the same behaviour. My thoughts on possibilities are: Boost Leak VCT Cam Gear isn't reliably activating consistently - (On this however, we did a run with the VCT disabled and the boost still spiked) Turbosmart BOV is not handling the boost? However this seems unlikely to not be able to handle 20psi. I have a couple of logs that I can't make sense of if anybody knows how to read them and can obtain further logs of other parameters if they are not enough, happy to pay for anyones time. The dyno readout with the power figure is the most recent last week. The other picture is from two weeks prior to that where we couldn't break 400kw (we removed the cat), however the issue of the boost control persisted. @Lithium @Piggaz @burn4005 @GTSBoy @discopotato03 I've tagged those that were quite active in recent pages here, no disrespect to those that know turbos well but I missed tagging. Cheers
