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, sort of blurring two different things together, aren't we? I just meant O2 feedback closed loop. I used to have a 0-1V LCD meter on my dash, wired directly to the O2 sensor signal. So you could easily see what it was doing. Normal running it would flick back and forth nicely. Slow down to an idle and it would keep flicking, as the ECU tried to servo to maintain stoich, but it would slow down as each swing happened until it would stay at one end of the scale. As I said above, the sensor heater is not enough to keep it hot enough when there is also little heat in the exhaust flow. Give it a blip and it would start swinging again, then peter out again. Meanwhile, idle speed control would run just fine, because unrelated.
    • It's not even O2 feedback, it's just simply when the ECU sees the closed TPS signal for whatever reason the idle will start steadily dropping until the engine dies. With the TPS adjusted to not trigger closed TPS it will idle at some ridiculously high RPM and something like 6 degrees of timing. In the absence of getting eyes on it personally and a lot of quality time doing diagnostics I couldn't tell you what the real problem was but it was interesting nonetheless
    • Oof. One of my mates has an R34 GT-R that he initially was a "I want to go twins for response and convenience" on his stock 2.6 with Kelford 272 cams, but his friends are pests and were always in his ear about their place being in the bin.   Eventually one of the 2860-5s decided to add it's own input and force his hand, so he conceded and went for a Pulsar 6262G ("G35 900") with T4 0.85 hotside.    Here's an overlay of the results, same cams, same stock bottom end, same boost, same fuel, just from a pretty tidy 2860-5 install to a Pulsar turbo on a 6boost maniifold on BP98.   Worth mentioning here, it may seem like a dead horse thing but the dyno plot doesn't tell the story of how much better it is to drive - transient response has completely changed the car, he used to have flat foot shifting to stop it having to wind up again on gear changes even at >7000rpm... now it builds boost faster than that even short shifting.   It's 100% transformed the car before you even consider how much better it holds on: Pulsar and Garrett aren't the same, but from our experience if you're just looking for a better drive and the ability to make the same or more power I think the divided G30 770 would probably be the smallest I'd go to.
    • Great work Duncan, any events local you will give it a test once all done?
