Hey guys ive got a 2d NA r34 and am not to great when it comes to wheels and fitment.

Just wondering, i want to fit 18x9 +33 on the rear and 18x8 +33 on the front. Will i have issues with break clearance and will i need to roll the guards ??

Depends what tyre size you run and how low it is.

Personally I think they'll fit easy.

My mate just fitted some CR Kai's on his 25GT.

Front: 18x8.5 +30

Rear: 18x9.5 +20

We're going to have to roll the rear guards when he lowers the car.

The specs of my NA in front are:

Front: 17x8 +/- 0 offset.

Rear: 17x9 +13.

I'm running fairly stretched tyres and camber to fit these in. Guards are rolled too.

you'l be sweet with that size, i put 18x9.5 +40 with 235x40 tires on my r34 and only experinced a small bit of scrubbing on the inside front well gaurds when turning at full lock, but it doesnt take long for the tires to cut a groove thru the plastic and now the scrubing is gone

Roll it and you'll be sweet! As far as I know the NA's and the turbos have the same wheel clearance and I will be running 18x8.5 +30 and 18x9.5 +35 on my car when my wheels arrive.

I thought you "cut a groove thru the plastic" though? You were also running a 40 offset though, dunno what difference a litle bit will make.

is dish the same as offset? lol, maybe a stupid question, maybe i got 40mm of dish, because my rims put most of their width toward the outside of the rim...

but i was just wondering why 'roll' a wheel well, because yes mine cut a groove thru the plastic on the inner-most part of the wheel well(front only and at full lock) , but doesnt 'rolling' refer to the metal lip of the wheel well being made deeper?

AYW550, dish and offset are completely different. (Although the amount of dish is determined by a combination of the design, offset and width) Generally the greater the width and the lower the offset the more dish you have.

The offset is determined by where the hub sits in relation to the middle of the wheel, if its right in the middle offset = 0, if it is 30mm towards the outer edge of the wheel then the offset is +30. Thats why a wide wheel with a low offset sits out far and can create more dish. (sorry if I'm confusing lol! I can explain it well in person with a wheel as an aid).

ok cool, nope not confusing, now i know that it is 40mm of dish that i have, due to the width and location of the offset. so infact i probably dont have much offset at all

      Or do we think it was installed to give 1 bar of boost max, all day, everyday?

      So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit?

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!

      Chris' Toyota Mark ii JZX110

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I'm a fan of the JZX110, and the Aristo. Big cruiser cars, and with the factory cars, super comfortable and feel like you're driving an armchair! And the JZ motors are a pretty nice engine too, especially with some basic mods.   The import process, and the need to be able to trust people, and the fact there's so many scammers around is what ever puts me off wanting to go through that ordeal!
