Currently running 18x10.5 +15 rear and 17x9.5+18 front, not worried about the front because I think it will be fine running a 265/275 but I wanna know what the rear will look like with a 295-315 or something..... So anyone else have anything?

You gonna flare the f**k out of the guards? I got rubbing on full lock with a 18x8.5 + 22 (pretty sure that's what my fronts were) and that was with a 235 front, and slight rub over big bumps with the 265 rears on 18x9.5 +22

I would get track wheels except I'm back at uni so I'm getting f**k all money atm. My wheels are off too. I could easily fit the front wheels. Would need a slight flare to fit 295's to the rear but don't wanna flare to much, wanted to see pics though!!

you will need a serious flare to fit that kind of rubber man...

try going say 235/40/17 with GOOD rubber on the front and 265 on the rear.... you'll still have to raise/flare but not as much

I have a fair amount of room up front especially with the camber im running so I think I can fit larger rubber. As for the rear, I think I will need a flare but would like to get an idea of how much flare...

What kind of rubber are you going to run in 295?

Way way to large imo. Russ run 245(?) all round in KU36 and got a 38 at winton, I ran 235/255 and got a 38 at winton. Russ also ran AO50's in the same size and got a 34.

So as Hamish said, go for a better compound that is going to fit. 265 (R18) RSR's on the rear and 255 (R17) if you really want grip.

I'm yet to decide what rubber. There is 285's in rs-r's available, but I heard they aren't very good.... So I'm still reading up on what's decent for the price range. Do the tyre places from the states deliver to Aus?

    • What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.
    • Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!
    • No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
    • Welcome mate. Any pics? Even with a DE I'd be well happy if I had that as a 1st car.
