Hi guys, I went from stock R34 GTR wheels 18x9 +30 to Volks 19x9.5 +12.

Width increase is fine < 1 inch.

Rolling diameter with the tyres I have is fine: almost the same as stock set up.

Track increase however is >25mm due to the offset which technically is a "Defect" in NSW.

Anyone been done for "Track" ONLY??

Whats the chances of me getting done for this seeings as everything else is sweet??

The reason I ask is that Im trying to decide wether to keep or sell my stock R34 GTR wheels and tyres which are just sitting around doing nothing. Should I keep them incase I get done for "Track"

In SA, TransportSA specifies that the maximum track for a 1998+ R34 GTR is

1506 front and 1516 rear.

That prob isn't much help to you, but might be worth ringing up and asking.

providing they are not sticking out past the edge of the guard lip it would be extremely unlucky to get pinned for it.

Back wheels are fine, front are pretty close to guards. See picture, OK do you rekon??

maybe put a bit more negative camber on the front to pull the top of the rim in a bit :D

nice ride

I'm Sorry...

Why put in a bit more negative and upset a perfectly good wheel alignment in the hope that it will tuck the rim inside the guard.

Why upset the handling, possibly making the vehicle horrible to drive and trash a perfectly good set of expensive tyres??

And I don't believe that lowering the car by 10mm will effect the camber by that much. It will alter it but I don't believe it will be obviously noticeable to the naked eye.

    • Yeah, the thread is only nearly 20 years old.
    • Been down in Tassie for 2 weeks (a cruise, not a race for once) but spent a little time on her when I got back. I worked out the injector settings in the PowerFC were not correct for nismo 555s, set those to 66% +10ms and added a little air at closed throttle, set the timing (approximately, because it has some weird non 15o cells around idle) and now she starts and idles properly. She purrs like a kitten (ignore the co2 alarm in the background, I did  ) 20250518_171052.mp4 Next step, off for run-in, tuning and alignment!
    • Went to a drift practice day at a local circuit (held on the reserve parking area behind the grandstand) for the first time in about 15 years. Some kei cars were drifting as well, a not so surprising Suzuki Carry truck, and two 1st gen Daihatsu Copens that were converted to rear wheel drive(!) using Daihatsu Boon X4 transfer case, prop shaft and rear diff, obviously omitting the front driveshafts. They looked really fun to slide. I heard that they cost "about half" as much as a Nissan Silvia etc to run.  On the track 'Tech M' a local BMW tuning garage had a customer track day. Mainly recent models but there was one E36 which looked ancient among all the current models. It was cool watching the drifting and then turning around and seeing random people thrashing their M3/4s  central-circuit-drift-practice-2025-05-18-long-yt.mp4
    • I prefer it with those wheels (sacrilege?) 😋 Here's a photo of a fully original one for reference. The price is $350K....
    • I would like to keep it around 15k but if I need more to make it reliable and not have to worry about the car breaking I can go more. It's my project car so I'm just trying g to figure out what needs to be in it i know basic things like turbo cams injectors I'm just unsure of the size and the specifics so I'm spending alot of time on Google and its mostly rb25 and rb26 not alot on neo
