Hi all.

I have a set of 18" RAYS / Nismo LMGT2 3 piece wheels that came off an R33 GTR and another set that came off an R34 GTR. Question is, are they a direct bolt-on for a V35 Skyline GT coupe? I do not have the offsets in front of me (and I am not an expert on them anyway) but I hope the vehicle's they came off will give someone in the know a clue if they will fit. The exact wheels are in the pics attached.

Thanks in advance.

Out.

It all depends on the offsets.

I've seen GTR offsets in the low teens. Something like this may not fit unless you do some serious guard rolling.

Being 18" the diameter will more than likely be fine, as I've seen V35's go to 11inch wide without too much drama.

The offset is really your only issue. If they are in the low 20's, high teens then you may be right. As an example a +22 offset is almost perfect for a V35.

Yeah, without offsets it'd be impossible to call.

They look a little sunken in on that R34 so its definitely possible, but I wouldn't stake my guards on it.

You can run an 18x9.5 +22 and 18x10.5 +22 on our cars without rolling the guards.

If you're willing to do some mods to the car (front and rear camber adjustment equipment, rolling the guards) you can fit aftermarket R34 GT-R rims onto our cars. There's a guy in the US running 18x10.5 +15 rims all round on his 350Z with 275 width tyres, with guard rolling and lots of camber.

Unfortunately he's taken his pics down from that thread (and other threads don't show it), but I remember that it did look retarded on the front since the tyres stick out with the amount of camber being run. An OK look if you're building a race car, but it looks a bit ghetto on a street car.

I will say that they will fit for sure. They look to be the same or more sunken than standard R34 GTR rims which are 18x9 +30. I have seen 19x9.5 +17 and 19x10.5 +18 on both V35 and R34 GTR (same rims that we tried on) and the rears were flush with 275/35/19 tyres and the front we still a little sunken in but not as much as in your pics.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.

      I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
