I have a couple of wheels i have in mind but without seeing them on the actual car is hard to tell, if anyone has any pics of some nice black gtt's to help make my choice that would be cool. Again my car is a black 34, not a fan of chrome but if u see a nice combo, it would be cool to see. I want either 19's or 20's depends on the wheel. I have a kit to go on, so 20's wont seem out of place, but i dont want to put the kit on until the wheels are on.

Fanks!

put ur flame suit on dude....

20's... and R34 or even the word skyline, don't fit in the same sentence, let alone 19's

im pretty sure you will need a heap of guard modification to fit 20's, there are a few people on here with 19's on 34's

personally no bigger than 18's for me, black on black looks hot imo, black te37's

good luck

Each to their own dudes, if anyone has any pics that can support their ideas that would be awesome. Size isnt a real issue at the moment i want to see styles/colours on an actual black 34gtt, reason why i like 19's is cos imo they can look sexy as. but hey ive seen cars with 17's look wicked. why i say 20"? because there are 19's that look like 20's and there are 20's that look like 19's depends on the style of rim. people are easily drawn away from 20's because there are soo many stock cars with mingin 20's.

mate ill be happy if u convert me to 18's afterall their cheaper! lol just show me some pics!

ps rush, i wanted te37's in all black but i think they were called progressive something... everywhere i look no longer had them (19's)

actually dude, people are drawn away from 20's or even 19's because they are impractical, require modification which means more money, weigh more, can look worse, can make for a rougher ride due to lack of rubber, there are heaps of reasons to steer clear of that size.

That aside

do a search for Doski's R34, its black with a black chrome rim, DTM ones to be precise, or just serach volk gt-c, or te37. i have pics i will post them

here are some links, im too tired to save and upload them

i think these are volk ce28's in 18's

http://s72.photobucket.com/albums/i182/min...nt=DSCF0028.jpg

not sure what these are

the progressive something or other you are talking about are not your typical te37's i believe, they arent as nice lookin either

if you want 20's then buy all means go for it but be aware that if you dont have a kit to go with the rims then it will look silly. i just got 19's on mine 3 or so weeks and as youc an see on my avatar and without the kit to me it looks silly as its to big for the car. iv seen GTR 34s with 20's and they look ace cause they have the phat kit to go with it.

just some for thought. and dont get bling rims. they do look shit on skylines.

cheers for the pics n comments and i agree with most of what ur saying, out of those links rush i only like the 18'' pic

ashneel: thats exactly what ive meant, 19's n 20's look good when done right (right bodykit etc) otherwise it will look a tad weird unless the suspension is done ace. which luckily ur car has nice suspension

17's with a bodykit look stupid imo. 17's and 18's are perfect without a kit, like viet boi's car.. i think his are 18's? suits it awesome and looks hot. if i just dump my car with the stock 17's it would look sic. But i have a kit at home that i want to use and 18's just wont cut it for me.

more pics guys please, thanks heaps for the comments

17" Rims on a R34 GTR..? LOL! No way man, atleast have to be 18" Rims.

Go nice 18's black on black is hot man! make sure you dont have chrome dish with it just pure black! at night time will look evil!!!

+1

Black on Black with a Red out line on the wheels would look sweet.

Volk TE37 Limited Edition Black with Red Lip (Time Attack)

in that case, i think this will win you over

post-40562-1236222757_thumb.jpg

definatly volk CE28n's

google 'CE28' for more pics of those rims

WTF that is crazy! Looks Awesome.

Whats that cylinder thing just after the front wheel arch?

whats your budget? i really like black with polished dish. Workmeisters or ssr sp1 professors would be my choice.

I think 18 - 19 is good. Depending on ride height and if kitted or not. Make sure you get right offset to fill guard and go fatter on rears.

Buying those new is a bit out of the question and hard to find the right size/offset second hand.

good question, not a fkn clue lol

Haha!!

Yeah interesting, its obviously a full race spec car and would love to see whats under the hood.

18GT-C.jpg

GTC's

or TE37s, CE28s

Oh and ((OO)SKYLINE(OO)) i think it might just be the way the guard turned out...could be wrong tho

Yeah sure,

Could be anyones guess at the moment and I sure like to find out.

Also Nismo LMGT 4's looks sic on a R34 GTR.

post-46584-1236224834_thumb.jpg

Or Rays Gram Lights.

post-46584-1236224914_thumb.jpg

yes that black 34 is mark and russ's r34 setup for time attack it is an awesome car.

there is a whole thread on this car in the motorsport section.

19's or 20's are to big with kit or without they just look ridiculous. most skylines i have seen around with 19's and 20's on look like rollerskates.

18's are plenty big enough on any skyline.

17's and 18's do look good with a kit.

just get some quality jap 18" wheels any of the previous suggestions would be good.

    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
    • Bloody apprentices! 🙄
    • Not sure yet.  Was considering speedtek because it was rated to 800hp, but when I did some research about him I don't think I will go for that🤣 So maybe giken gear set, but I'm afraid it won't be strong enough🙄
