Can anyone confirm if these sizes will be a good fit on an R34 GTT Sedan, without the need for spacers, guard roll etc.

DTM Rush wheels

18 x 8.5 +35 fronts

18 x 9.5 +35 rears

I will look at putting 235's on the front and 245/255 on the rear.

There have been a few threads in the past, but no-one has actually gone through with their purchase of the wheels or provided anymore info+pictures.

Cheers

they will fit

but since you asked for a "good fit" no they will look shit house.

Checking the 1010 wheel offset calculator, the best fit in this size for my car would be a 28mm offset for 8.5 on the front, then this would look good? and for the 9.5 on the back they would need a 42 offset would that be correct?

Annoying how the site selling these wheels says perfect staggered fitment for R34 GTT.

I guess they mean they will clear the front calipers.

So when you say they will look 'shit house', they will stick out more than they sit in, making them look at bit tard?

no they will sit in, if they were sitting out it would be good. have a look in the fitment thread for what sizes others have used im sure you can go a bit wider / lower offset if u want to fill the guards if not get what u have chosen

I always use the r34 GTR wheels as a reference when i am looking for wheels. The r34 rims are 18x9+30 fronts and rears. These seem to sit pretty flush on the GTT's so if you had only 8inch wide rims you would want a lower offset say +20-25 if they are wider you may want to get a little higher. There are plenty of pics of GTT's with the GTR wheels so you can get a feel for what they look like and how you want your car to look.

Try this thread, a few in there: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/R3...er-t311136.html

It all depends on what you want? Yes they will fit but will sit in and not look very agressive.

Also come's down to how low the car is now, and how low you plan to go.

Thanks for that link, very helpful.

How about this for fitment on the GTT 18X9 F/R +30, would this suit my needs better?

18x9 +30 is what R34 GTR rims are, an excellent fitment, not over the top but still looks good. Can fit a 245 on the front if you want to remove the inner liner, and can fit a 265 on the rear if you want to roll the guards.

IMO if you dont want to do guard mods 18x9+ 30 with 235/40 will fit well at any height.

235's are so cheap and I don't really want to roll the guards just yet.

Looking to purchase Rota Boost - Gun Metal in 18x9 F/R +30 - R34 GTT Sedan, Midnight purple in colour

(I was thinking silver but reckon that would look to bling!)

245's on the rear would be nice, but you reckon guards would need a slight roll to accommodate.

If I go through with the purchase and once fitted, I will definitely be adding pics to that thread!

Pretty much spot on.

I have a 34 sedan with 18x9.5 + 15 i love the look of it, but really its not pracrical, car needs to be slammed to fit. 18.x 9.5 + 25 to me would be perfect for that I want.

but for 90% of people i think what you want (the rota's) will look real nice.

Thank you everyone for your input on the wheels, I decided to purchase the ROTA Boost 18x9 +30's as the price was right for me!

Still have to purchase tyres but they are online in NSW for $120 each for Federal 235/40/18's at the moment, so very cheap.

Once wheels are on the car I will post up some pics to http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/R3...er-t311136.html

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
