Ok now have i missed something....?

Where was i when it was decided that rims and tyres that stick way out side the gaurd was cool and a good thing???

Apart from the obvious, massive rubbing over bumps, defectable etc etc it looks stupid. (thats just in my opionion of course)

Who started this trend and why would you do it for!

what do you guys and girls think??

end rant! :devil:

I don't see anything wrong with it. With the Stagea above, I wouldn't want anything more 'sunkin' in.

For me, I want the wheels to be even with the guards, anything less is :devil: in my opinion.

i agree even with the gaurds, wider the better! but not to the point they move outside of the gaurd!

I don't mind the wheels going outside of the guards on some cars. On skylines, I prefer the wheels to be flush with the rolled guards and on silvias I like the wheels sticking out at least an inch from the standard guards, but then I would flare them out.

It really depends on what car it is.

If it sticks out, it needs flares to make it even again.

Yeah, you need flaring done if the wheels are purposely made to stick out. If you're talking about not flaring and just making the wheels stick out 2", I find that stupid as well.

agreed the stagea up top looks ghey cause stagea's are very slab sided.. to get away with the look on one of those you would need to massage the gaurds out

i think the wheels sitting slightly out of the gaurds looks f**kING GOOD, but to pull it off you need stretched tyres to keep the treads under the gaurd itself, and maybe some slight flaring too

It gives the car a wider, meaner, tougher stance IMO....also means you can have wider wheels :domokun:

how does having wider wheels help when they have smaller tyres anyway?

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.

      Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention

      So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34

      From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
