The 18x10's (GTC01's) that i have been running have a 22mm offset all round. So not ideal at all. Depending on the tyres they stick out from the front guards, which is against CAMS rules for motorsport events. I think even the TE37's stick out somewhat. I guess it's just a question of offsets etc. Spacers will not solve the problem (the wheels need to come in). I've done other mods to try and bring the top of the control arm in, but it's just not enough :P Even a rota with 30mm offset isnt completely ideal.

Can you machine a recess into the wheel? Just a thought?

We looked into that, the Enkie's dont really have enough meat really. Another option is (i have heard) there is an adjustable upper control arm available now or soon. So you could lean the top arm in more, which would give more camber too. I looked into getting custom wheels made (by Simmons) just before they closed doors, about $1200/rim.

OK I think the point about people's past experience with these wheels has been clearly made. No need to continue with that, or the personal attacks attached. No-one has been banned (yet), so just consider this a warning.

Dunc,

I look forward to your results with wheels and tyres, I am looking at either a setup like yours or doing the Hoosiers on 19s.

I get the feeling that the "inferior" arguement has now been flogged to death so hopefully heresay and speculation can stop and the guys who are actually testing and doing something rather than just keyboard bashing can have their thread back.

Keep up the good work Dunc you have provided more technical data and proven testing on the R35 on the track than almost anyone (Not forgetting Munro, Martin et al...lol)

Cheers.

Thanks Gibbo. If I was setting up for a casual track days, unbound by the CAMS tyre list, I would probably go with the 19" RE30's and Hoosier R6's - I haven't tried them myself but a lot of the guys in the US have and they seem to work well by all accounts. Plus you just have less woes with sizes/clearances/offsets etc. They look good too :devil: However you obviously can't drive to the track on slicks... I've probably gone through 5 sets of tyres this year and (at $2500 a set) it adds up pretty quick! 19" 888's are significantly more $$ again. I am not even going to entertain the idea of the new 20" R's (quite evidently I am a cheap bastard, ha ha :P).

As for rim quality comments, some here should be careful about what they commit to writing on a public forum. We are looking to arrange alloy density uniformity testing via spectagram analysis with complimentary ultrasonic strength testing, possibly next week. So.. those with facts to back up their statements having nothing to worry about (and those talking out of their arse.. goodluck with that!) I am NOT joking.

i'm not worried lol. but im sure nissan will be interested finding out that they could have just got rota to build them cast wheels in a chinese factory at the same strength and weight as rays and at a fraction of the cost.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?

      Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
