New Rims On 34 Gtt

So i'm looking into buying some lenso D1R's, and not completely sure what colour to get, as well as offsets, etc. My r34 gtt is black with an impul kit (see pictures below) , and will be getting smoked indicators all round fairly soon unless you think clear might suit this set up better? I got my brother to do a really quick photoshop job on a picture of the car to give some sort of idea as to what they will look like in both black w/ red line, and aluminium w/ polished lip. Personally i'm heading towards the aluminium look with smoked indicators, but that's where i'd appreciate some constructive comments (none of the usual "oh they're bad rims anyway" "they're heavy" etc etc.) They will be street wheels, not for the track, so therefore i dont mind if they have a bit of weight or arent built to the same quality as some proper jap wheels. The size and offsets of rims, as well as tyre sizes i'm looking into running are 18x9 +12 225/40/18 (front), 18x10 +22 255/35/18 (rear). Would these be the best size to fit? I looked in the R34 Picture thread and "SiNNO" is running this setup, so i know it can be done, but my car is sitting a bit lower than his, so i might need a bit of camber? Is this the most aggressive setup I should run? These photoshopped pics give no justice to the amount of dish there would be, especially at the rears. :) Couldnt get pics to sit in here from photobucket, so have to upload them the crap way :) .

not a fan of the wheels at all but if i had to choose id say go the black and f**k off the red line....

I see where you're coming from, but i'm only looking into getting them because they are a cheap wheel with good dish. Not looking to spend a large amount of money at the moment to get some volk/work/gram lights.

hey mate,

definately would go for the black hweels and the smoked Nismo indicators and front lamps.

They'll look tuff! The black D1Rs won 'Best Wheels Award' at last year's R34 GT-R 10th Anniversary.

That doesn't say much for the people voting or the wheels that were there. I hope it's just clueless people voting for Chinese wheels over multi-thousand dollar lightweight race wheels.

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By Haggerty · Posted

      I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.

      I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.

      Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...

      Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
