My car is begging for some new wheels. Any ideas on what combination suits a smooth yellow 34? Pictures to support any theories will help alot.

The baby is stock and ready for a makeover, these rims in 19's is what i had in mind... then drop the body a bit.. ok a lot.

Not something from Tempe/Ozzy plz

A race look with the right offsets and staggered widths front and rear looks best on skylines.

Save the 20" cheap ass chromies for the crumbledoors and minitruck boys

Pretty much what I was going to say. :)

White rims go best with blue cars, but still look good on other colours. Also, white will give the illusion of the rims looking bigger/fatter (not necessarily 'phatter' though)

Black would look good aswell on yellow, but will do the inverse of whites and make the rims look smaller. Again it's just an illusion. But black looks really aggresive on yellow and would be my choice.

Whatever you do don't put silver or chrome on a yellow car. It just doesn't suit them at all, unless you have a black rim with a chrome lip and you might pull it off.

crazy thought but would you consider some black WALD rims with a yellow colour coded dish?

i think that's look really good and it's not done often on the R34

think of the WALD altezza

mmmm. Yellow on White.

Yellow on Black would work good aswell i think.

But stick with the normal chrome dish. Don't colour that in too.

p.s. btw dan, if you come back in this thread. your sig pic/whatever isn't coming up. i got a X. maybe just me. meh.

First up.. all the responses is cool, cheers. at the end of the day the choice is mine, but its good to see ideas because some people have similar taste to myself and others make show me other ideas that i normally wouldnt think about so thanx.

Heres a pic that i think if the stock wheels were bigger n fatter, they would be nice, maybe a kit? I'm gona swap indicators for clear see what there like also... keep the thoughts comin and the pictures help heaps thanks again!

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
