Firstly, I'd like to mention it's my partners car. Although it is still a comfy drive and very very good on fuel. Any way, the questions. Q1: What are the fattest tires rims/tyres we'll fit on the car without sticking out the gaurds lots and no rubbing (car is a hatch). And Q2: What modifications can we make to get just a little bit more out of it without being stupid and ruining its drivability. Was thinking along the lines of a computer chip or new computer or something like that. Can't find much info about it so i was just wondering if any one has and suggestions or ideas. cheers

If its got the 1ZZFE 1.8L VVTi Motor, i would put a set of extractors and 2 1/4 inch hi flow exhaust right thru, alloy intake pipe with cold air box. Suspension just go for known brand spring kit. Also recommend to upgrade the clutch at the same time.

friend of mine had one with the above mods was keeping up with non sti wrxs/factory gtst with ease, pity never dyno'd or put on the strip before he sold it.

Bwahahahaaa

No, please do go on.

All this time Subaru have been wasting their money on those stupid turbos, when all they needed was a Toyota engine with a decent exhaust system

And my pathfinder keeps up with ferraris and lambos with ease

On the M1 at peak hour

Ur funny :D

did it make a noticible difference? And did ya re tune it or any thing?

It made a difference, more torque and sounded great.

Didnt retune just let the corolla ecu relearn itself and it was fine, was getting 500+kms a tank

yea i only ever ran it on 95, drove sown to geelong from sydney and back in it and was getting 600 odd a tank.

Basically the ecu would make the car run like a pig for a day or two when a mod was done then it would adjust to it and drive fine after that

yeah i just read a thread on the ecu on one of the corolla sites. It was about resetting the ecu. But seeing we've done over 4000km since we got it there'd be no point in doing that. I seen some ecu chips on the net somewhere that soposibly give a bit more power. Are they worth looking at or are they just a waste of money?

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
