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.

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked... HTH
    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
