Hey guys looking to get some lmgt4s for my r33 gtst but just need to know what width front and back and what offset front and back I should be getting.

I thought I'd jump queue and go straight here instead of cosmetic section. You guys know what your talking about so let rip :banana:

It's running on the stock breaks and I'm looking at 18" rims.

Thanks guys! :banana:

Are the 18's going to be that big of a problem?

No they won't. I bought these.... Nismo LMGT4's

Front: 18x8.5 (+30)

Rear: 18x9.5 (+38)

In terms of tyres I put 235's on the front and 255's on the back. I've lowered my car a little and I had minor scrubbing on the front and back. Fixed the back with very little guard lipping and fixed the front 90% by raising just a tad (still lower than stock). The fronts will only scrub on or right near full lock when going across bumpy roads or up really awkward driveways. I left them on for a track day once (at Wakefield) and had no issues whatsoever.

Top choice :banana:

Buy 18s .. Look better.. RUbber isnt that much

Get the above set staggered like above but run a +32 offset on the front will let them sit in a little more and not scrub.

Rears +36 .. Like below

Front: 18x8.5 (+32)

Rear: 18x9.5 (+36)

Enjoy

Those are the ones I'm after :D Fell in love with them at first sight...

Not too keen on the rubbing side of things tho haha

So those offsets will let me avoid the rubbing problem mentioned above??

I'm going to import them as opposed to buying them in oz for price reasons so I need the offsets to be exactly what I need. No just taking them back to the shop :P

How much will a tyre set me back on the 18's? And the +32 will clear the brake calliper?

I can't comment on the front offset but for me, the scrubbing at the front is negligible.

As for tyres, start ringing around. They vary a lot in price depending on brand/type. It really depends on how fussy you are. The more expensive ones can easily cost you around $1500 for a set but you can get a lot cheaper than that. Search the wheel/tyre threads. I know there's something in there were people compared brands and costs. That's what I used!

Cheers man. Looks like I'll be going your offsets. As far as I know they don't even come in the offsets the other guys mentioned.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂

      Cas issue

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.

      By Duncan · Posted

      Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
