Dont Fully Understand Wheel Offset

Hi all.

I got a R32 GTR with stockies, 8 inch 35/38mm offset (cant remember). I picked up a set of enkies from work, 17X9 with a 22 mm offset. Will these screw up my handling if I fit them?

I've talked to some so called experts about it and the replies have been very unprofessional. One place who specialises in big rims replied with "All offset is good mate". Err no its not, it messes up wheel alignment angles real bad, scrub radius and track go out the window when messing with offset.

Any knowledgable help if appreciated.

I keep forgetting, but I thought GTR's wheels were +30 offset? We'll just say that they're +38 offset on a 8" rim for now, moving to 9" +22mm offset wheels will make the wheels stick out an extra ~21mm from where it is now. An increase in track so I guess that's a good thing (I've got no idea on track work so please forgive me).

So the new wheels will be sticking out an extra ~21mm from what they are currently. You could need some guard rolling done.

Where/how do you measure offset?

Because I have heard abour 4 or 5 offsets on GTR R32 wheels.. and this is on quite official papers..

All rims should have their offsets and widths either printed or on a sticker on the wheel somewhere. Usually on the inside, but I've seen a few wheels which had the offsets printed on the lip.

You can always rely on Yahoo auctions to tell you the offsets of standard wheels, and give you a good idea of what a particular type of second-hand aftermarket Jap wheel may be too. http://search1.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/sea...=0jp&acc=jp. For the record R32 GTR is 16x8 +30.

      R34 gtt rb25det neo timing belt kit

      By drifter17a · Posted

      So been ocd with timing mark but checked from few angle and seems both cam are on and crank is matching as well to the slot on sump and crank pully   i noticed crankshaft cover has been robbed as per attached pic. Any ideas why? Could my balancer or harmonic be on its way out? should I replace the cover? https://ibb.co/ZR1JFYRR

      So now doing the change and first time dealing with rb so little nervous giving engine power and potential for screwing it up When you align all marks and then remove crank bolt, timing move little I assume you can put the bolt back in once you have removed the pully to get timing to where you want?   here is pic of my both intake and exchust cam aligned, depending on angle you look they seem to be either aligned or a half tooth or so out. Any thoughts? Should you angle your face and look at each mark that way as if looking straight rather than from above as it can be misleading   <a href="https://ibb.co/ZpnhcvbF"><img src="https://i.ibb.co/HfWrGR9b/IMG-4447.jpg" alt="IMG-4447" border="0"></a> <a href="https://ibb.co/4wm2wn4q"><img src="https://i.ibb.co/JWBqWwr1/IMG-4445.jpg" alt="IMG-4445" border="0"></a>   https://ibb.co/ZpnhcvbF https://ibb.co/4wm2wn4q

      braided lines for the turbos

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      Thanks for the reply @GTSBoy Haven't really thought of that yet, but you are right. If the hose was damaged it should be absolutely pissing by now. I'll put some heat sleeve around it for good measure since I'm already removing the line anyway.  Maybe I'll put on some of the stock hardlines if I ever fully remove the turbos again. Maybe when T51R modding the compressor housings? Might be a fun mod on GT28s for that "fake single turbo" effect.

      Update 1: I did some work on the car already before finalizing this post and my "issues" list. I dropped the Tomei exhaust in favor of the HKS Hi Power Silent. Sounds nice and I can actually hear myself think now. Also gives me a realistic chance to legally drive without silencer inserts. A bit of cheating was necessary to still be able to mount the Top Secret style diffuser. Some malusage of washers and a bit of "convincing" toward the brackets and exhaust hanger seemed to do the trick. The shaky steering wheel has been resolved as various suspension components were worn, like sway bar bushings and link bars. Most notably the two steering tie rod ends. Had some trouble finding bushings because my sway bars are not OEM thickness, 23.x up front and 27 rear. But non adjustable, so no aftermarket I suppose. Maybe they are nismo units? Turbo oil drain hoses were definitely still the originals and are new now. Wasn't the cause of the turbo oil leak sadly. Currently removing the rear turbo because of it, I suspect the braided oil feed line is the culprit. This issue needs to be dealt with so I can work towards actually getting the turbo setup legal and inspected. Two new issues to add to the list as well. Rear Main seal is probably leaking. Time will show how bad it is, I don't really want to drop the gearbox right now just for the stupid seal. Could fix a few other things in one go once I do that. Front right driveshaft grease is going past the cv boot, so at some point I'll fix that too.
