click on my sig - http://n15m0.blogspot.com

Plenty of ideas there, be sure to click on the archived section as well :)

Dished, non-dished, black, white, chrome all go well with a white 34. Budget for around 3K for a good 2nd hand jap set with decent tyres.

wont get much change outa 4grand for my type of rims, custom offset on rear. :-S and needed spacers for the Front,

I think a nice set of R34 GTR rims will look nice and can pick them up for around 2/3k with tred.

on a 34 i'd have nismo lmgt4's 18x10 (+20 ish) with 265's

on a 34 GTR yes, on a GTT no way unless you flare or go widebody. Even then I doubt the 10" would go well on the fronts not to mention the exceptionally heavier steering.

Agree with ni5mo, i was going to get the nizmo rims, bulk expensive and the way the exchange rate is at the moment ull be payin even more.

Im sure if u were on a budget u could get some cheap junk from ozzytires, was quoted 2600 for 18s with tired deliverd. Not bad.

However i wanted to stay Jap. :-)

depends on ur budget mate...i really like avs 6's with good offset and a 8" front and 9" rear if you want to be conservative without modifying guards...just as long as the offset makes it sit flush its nice.

gram light 57s are awesome in bronze and good offset too if you can find them here in aus.

if u like dish..go rays gtc (black centres if you can) or meisters.

if you like gt4/doritech/uras ns 01's theres someone on the SAU forum selling hanbai m2 DT-05r's for a pretty good price..i reckon they'd look awesome.

*edit* found them...these look sick and the colour would look good against white.

search the forums for DTM rims, there's a place in Melbourne that sells them and ships nationwide... They're pretty cheap but look great ona R34 and they're great quality rims.

I'd recommend something with deep dish if you can find it .. they just look awesome. Also, don't make the mistake that I did and get the same width front and rear. Rears can definately be 9.5" for that nice fat look and still borderline legal. ie. 18x8.5" front and 18x9.5" rear with +35 offsets for a R34 GTT.

Make sure you get the right offset, don't just buy random rims with the wrong offsets - the offset IS important. +35 works well and is very close to spec for the above sizes.

    • Oh dear. The panel beating needs to be done before the filler work. Do you have a photo of the dent before you started? Hard enough to not flex and only hit the high spots?  What do you mean it was just temporary? 
    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
