Well if you have ever heard of Autosalon, then you'd understand what the wheels would be for :/

Also i wasnt planning on driving on them like most people said and for 2300 bucks i wouldnt plan on buying them either, i just wanted to know if it was for one rim or not.

I was looking at 19" LMGT4's and the 20" TE37's caught my eye, for show use when i put my wide body n try entering it next year etc.

As for yur loling tell CGHOST R33 and the GHOST Skylines cars that are at Autosalon why they have 20"s on their cars or why anyone at any show changes their rims :wave: Too many people jump to conclusions here without actually helping out or contributing.

I have some decent/affordable 18x9's on my R34 coupled with 235 front and 265 rear Kuhmo ECSTA SPT's and they do the job damn well.

err... i actually lol'd @ gtst just being gtst...

Let the man do what he wants.

I mean its neither a practical rim nor does he want to use it as a practical rim.

Autosalon isn't particularly my cup of tea but if that's your thing go for it. Personally I rate it up there with people who build 'street' muscle cars and then tow them around on trailers to events. Kinda disgusts me.

And sh!t guys, in the end its his money for his purpose not ours.

All he wanted was some info on the price, not for a running commentary on how much of a dick they may make him look.

agreed. Whats the point in putting massive ass wheels on skylines.

Just ends up ruining the handling and seems pointless

Thats what you think. If you have decent aftermarket suspension and have your camber and toe settings right Its no different to 17's or 18's, my car handles like a dream and turns on a dime. hardly understeers and very easy to control power oversteer.

I love the rim bashers on here, so full of shit.

As most people know I have 20" AMEs on my 32 and used to drive it daily to work and didn't have a issue

If the rim is a good quality rim (not a china special) you wont have an issue using them on the street.

Obviously for racing you would go smaller but for driving on the street and show rims size means f**k all

because you cant use the handling and performance of the car unless your driving like a tool.

I like the sort of VIP/USDM style that I'm going for thats why i put 20s on my car.

And now being 20x11 at the rear they really look insane.

Seriously just because someone doesn't like stock 16s like the rest of the stock brigade doesn't mean what they like is stupid or wrong

its time to grow up and respect other peoples ideas when they are actually trying to make an effort at doing things properly.

wow, didn't expect the thread to go into a full blown argument, but i do appreciate the people that have spoken on my behalf for my choice.

As for the rims, they are something i do wan to do when i get around to it, im just getting ideas now. And will check out the GT7's etc like people have suggested and obviously look into diff suspension set ups and cambers etc.

A minority of people on SAU have found out now that i have purchased a Cross - Factory Wide body front and rear fenders along with a bomex bodykit and have many "aero" parts such as hoods etc lying around ready to be fitted and painted. Since i have all the parts now and will be building putting it together. I will be moving on towards the performance side of my car.

Being that my car is N/A i have contacted Nissan and since then have undergone many calls, and enquiries as to purchase myself a RB26DETT N1 engine and GETRAG Tranny.

So my car wont just be a show pony, it will have some balls eventually too and that is my next goal. As for the people that have helped out and contributed (even the ones that just stated opinions) I will be posting a new thread called RB26+GETRAG (something along those lines) to get help on the performance side too.

So thanks for everything from the people that helped out and respect my ideas.

Ps. Yes i added you GTST to my friends because i did not take offence to your comment, and by replying i hope you didnt either to mine. Hence the request to make sure we are still on the same page, regardless of what rims we like :(

I have 20's

Handles the same as it did on 19's, 18's, 17's and 16's. Doesn't sit like a tractor with the right suspension.

Only downside is they're heavier and the tires are more expensive which is fine by me. When I need to, i swap back over to my 18's.

    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
