Still for sale.

Just curious.. I have been trying to follow this thread a bit. I have a R-34 GT-R Vspec on the boat heading out to me from Japan to USA... These are the rim's i want. Is this offset too much to use without Spacers?? I'd rather get a set of rims that does not need spacers.. if they do need them what offset would i need that wouldnt touch... a +15?

Hey Mark,

Yes, because they don't quite fit over my front calipers on an R33 GT-R, they won't clear yours either, unfortunately, without spacers. I have bought some slip-on spacers that I can give you if you bought these wheels, which allow the rim to still sit on the spigot (hub) and not on the bolts alone. Like you though, I preferred not to put spacers on the car.

I do know someone who has an R34 GT-R and, like me, he got a bit screwed by the person he bought the rims from, and was given the wrong disk type. He runs spacers on the car though and hasn't had a problem so far. He has 19" versions of the same Volk GT-Cs.

So check out the Rays Engineering website, which lists the three different disk types. +12 should actually be okay for an 18x10" rim on a GT-R, it's just the disk type which means the inside of the spokes interferes with the calipers. Otherwise they would be fine, so I'm told; they wouldn't require guard-rolling nor would they scrub on full lock.

Cheers,

Matt

nah they wont

They'll easily fit if you run stretched tyres, roll all guards and a slight flare on the rear, 2.5 deg neg camber on front.

These would look tough as f**k on a R33 GTS-t

would these fit onto a r33 gts-t they look like such a nice rim. shame they wont go on yours mate.

Thanks guys. Yeah AFAIK there are ways of making these fit on a GTS-t but as Hypnotik said it would take a bit of modification.

Cheers

    • Ok guys thank you very much. GCG highflow it is then 🙂 
    • forgot to mention that when it does this it does not kill the engine, but I have not kept the pedal down long enough to let it, as I see no reason to beat up on it as its got to be something simple, small and dumb causing this.  And as soon as I let off pedal, the engine returns to its normal super smooth operation and rpms re-stabilize quickly, once below 4k. 
    • neither stumble or cut really seem to be an appropriate term....hard to explain its like a rev limiter but at 4k, but it violently shakes engine and entire vehicle as the rpms will not rise over 4k, even with slow acceleration. as soon as it hits 4k, it sounds like entire spark is lost entirely. plugs were 1.1 which I used as such, but later put in new plugs gapped down to .8 changed back after issue arose when I replaced the coils, still does it with either plug gap...damn and it was all running so good.
    • Oh how times have changed! I actually lean it out relative to my water/methanol injector duty cycle. The methanol adds a lot of fueling and you can then lean it out even more due to reduced knock. 
    • Yeah my thoughts are the same, a well thought out WMI setup, would be slightly ahead of just straight E85 and you're also chemically intercooling the charged air, dropping it even further. This is why you need to add so much more fuel as soon as you spray. I remember someone taking me through their set up before (Dennis, has a R33, lives around Cabramatta - no idea if he's still around on this forum). He would target AFR 10:1 on 98, then as WMI ramped on, AFR would lean back up to 11:1. Amazingly, he did this all through his PowerFC, a relay to cut power to his EBC solenoid if there was not enough line pressure on his WMI kit. And of course, if there wasn't any boost made above gate pressure, you wouldn't be accessing the load cells with heaps of timing for WMI. One downside to that rudimentary setup, once the WMI came on, the EBC would unleash the dragon, and of course all the timing. Tyres would fry lol.
