I have a 1996 series II R33 skyline (turbo) and it has spent almost 10 weeks at 2 or 3 different mechanics in town to no avail. The car will idle hunt...rev up & down irratically...wont sit on 1000rpm and pure like a kitten unless cold or you sit there and be patient and by luck get it to idle normally. The car stalls at any gear change after its warmed up. It also has nothing from 4000rpm onwards...but from idle to 4000rpm its a rocket...coil problem? AFM has been replaced and the engine is a tank...all tests have been done...compression etc and the mechanics told me that the engine and its components are perfect...the car more or less is a tank a perfect import.....i bought a new Garrett turbo 340hp....car has all other normal mods...run on stock boost. the mechanics have swapped computers with a 32....and all other components. The car was fine til the stock turbo blew which was fine...then upgraded to some monsta 600hp turbo which then was faulty....have bitten the bullet and bought a quality garret turbo run off the stocko manifold. have no ide what to do next....my options are limited.....mechanics have checked everything possible....it has to be something small which i may never find which could cost me a great car.....so has anyone had this before or know what to do next? otherwise my r33 will be used for parts.....

      That is a lovely Volvo, just saying. Yes I should have got an 260RS when they were cheap. I do regret now.

      R34 Gtt Wheel Offset Advice

      By niZmO_Man · Posted

      ^ lots of good points made above. The thing is, "aggressive" or "flush" fitment is relative depending on how much you have been influenced by social media. My starting point is always "look at the Nismo RWD specs". That is where you should start, then start measuring as GTSBoy as sort of mentioned, because every car will be slightly different. My 8.5"+35/9.5+38 will not be "flush" enough for you because you want more "pumped" look, which is why you measure. Tyre sizes and brand/models also make a difference. Some tyres are more chunky/square, some are more rounded. That means you could get away with more aggressive offsets without rubbing. But then it also depends on your ride height. Also depends on how much your car copped damage before being shipped from Japan. So it goes back to measuring your car yourself and determining what can work. Those Nismo specs are used bacause it's a safe spec for standard car (suspension. body) with chunky tyres. But then I put 265/35 wide tyres on R34 GT-R wheels, and currently run 285/30 tyres on 18x10 wheels.

      Sounds pretty awesome. I recommend creating a new build thread and posting all your goodness in there.

      Best place to order Authetic R32 Parts in Japan

      +1 for Jesse Streeter. Over the years I have got a bunch of stuff from him (usually wheels, but other parts like aftermarket braces and coolers). He was very good with shipping things to Australia. He may be able to send to other countries.
