18x10.5 would be ideal imo with around +12 - +15 offset

I run 18x10" +15 on my 33 R, would of gone 10.5 but wern't available in that style needless to say they still sit very nice on the car IMO

18x10 +15 above (sorry dont really have any pics that show the fitment properly)

If it were more lower it would look more flush, I've seen it lower and looks a lot better but the car would be a pain to drive as a daily. All I'm using is some adjustable coilovers and doesn't scrub with anything at the moment at this height.

10.5 + 15 should fit ok might get a bit of scrubbing with the inside plastic guards when at full lock, but 34 GTRs have a tiny more bit of room to play with as far as I know.

I love them

Except, i keep getting people asking me things like

"I get the GTR part, thats the car name, but what does FTW stand for? is it: (my two favorites so far) F**k This World or For The Women

And i have a sneaking suspicion that one of the people up the road is reporting my comings and goings to the police, god knows that GTRFTW is a lot easier to remember than your normal alpha numeric plates

nice one mate! yeh i get GTR f**k the world or, my dad is like what is that? GTR f**king twat? lol

those rims should sit nicely same as mine cept it will just be 1CM inside the guards more still will look ace. Love those rims.

Owgas... if you're still wondering how 18x10.5 +15 sit on a GTR, here is mine with those dimensions. Got nervous when it was on the jack cos they stuck out immensely, but once the car dropped and the wheels cambered in, they sat just as I was hoping.

nice car man i need mine that height, how low is it from the ground? like exhaust / front lip?

Ok my wheels are on my car. I get a slight inner plastic guard rub at full lock but that is all. The te37 sl's make car look soooo much more tuff now. Was gonna run the 295/30 but went for 285/35 tyres. The amount of grip I have now since applying the wheels is just superb. Just needs to be lowered a bit more (coilovers coming soon) as the 19's have risen the height of the car. Nevertheless, I'm absolutely impressed with fitment. Wheels sit dead flush with guards so the +22 offset was perfect I reckon. I will post some pics up when i got time :) :)

UNR33L... Mine's on coilovers aswell and the front splitter and Cat are the two lowest points and both sit smack on 100mm from ground. So where I place the wheels on the road when it's measured, will decide on whether it's over or under, it's that close.

But have no troubles with speed humps although the massive front overhang make driveways particularly entertaining. But it's not a daily so no problem. It also rubs very slightly on full lock but only when the ground is uneven and the corner is compressed. Otherwise nothing.

    • I thought I'd do a write up on an auto transmission fluid change for a the nissan 7 speed Automatic. At some stage the genius engineers decided that the fluid in the trans was "for the life of the transmission", (which seems kind of self supporting to me) and removed the dip stick and fill tube (funnily enough there is still a casting for it). Anyway, for this job you do need 2 specialist tools in addition to regular hand tools, jack and good chassis stands. You need a way to pump fluid up to the transmission; I got one of these but there are plenty of other options: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/364584087070 Don't trust the generic listing though, it does not come with the required adapter for the Nissan 7 Speed. You need one of these, can't do the job without it: https://navarapart.com.au/product/genuine-nissan-patrol-y62-d23-np300-navara-re7-dipstick-fill-connector1 You need a heap of compatible transmission oil. Could be Nissan, could be anything else rated for Nissan Matic S. You need at least 10 litres, I had 15 to give it a better flush... Also, you need some biiig oil catch trays, at least one of these, or bigger if possible (volume was fine, size was very marginal): https://autobarn.com.au/ab/Autobarn-Category/Tools-%26-Garage/Specialty-Tools/Oil-Service/Garage-Tough-Oil-Drain-Pan-Black-16L---GT1068/p/TO03191 Finally, a measuring jug is very useful if your pump does not have volumes marked on it, I got a 6l one: https://www.repco.com.au/oils-fluids/fluid-accessories/measuring-jugs/penrite-measuring-jug-6l-pmj006/p/A5322648 Oh, and gloves.....this stuff is horrible (not as bad as diff oil, but getting there) ....First, jack up your car.....
    • So I mentioned the apprentice, @LachyK helped take the bonnet off. We just undid the nuts on the hinges and unclipped the gas struts, then pulled the bonnet back a little as the front was catching on the front bar.  I had a good look at everything today and have removed the rams, repaired/reset the hinges and bolted it back together like it never happened. I'll do a separate write up on the repair, and I also removed the poppers from the Fuga today too to save grief down the road.....as said above it is at least $5k to repair retail. I'm also happier about my ability to prepare a race car, and less happy about Nis-nault's engineering (I can hear @GTSBoy sAfrican Americaning) because the top hose of the radiator didn't slip off.......it snapped clean off. By practice I put the hose clamp hard up against the flare on a neck to make it least likely to ever move (thanks @Neil!). I guess that puts a little more pressure on the end of the pipe as it is further away from the rad, but still, that is pretty shit. I've put it back on for now as there was a fair bit of neck still there, but obviously there is no lip on the neck any more so I don't think I'll track it again until I have a new rad. Speaking of which....more research required. It looks like Koyo makes a standard size radiator in ally which I'll grab in the meantime, but I really want something thicker so might have to go custom in the medium term (ouch) Coolant still needs a refill and I have the pressure tester on it over night, but other than a wash down of the engine bay it seems alright. And @MBS206 noted something noisy on the front of the engine and I think I agree....time for a new accessory belt and tensioners I think.
    • our good friends at nismo make a diff for it, I have one (and a spare housing to put the centre in) on the way. https://www.nismo.co.jp/products/web_catalogue/lsd/mechanical_lsd_v37.html AMS also make a helical one, but I prefer mechanical for track use in 2wd (I do run a quaife in the front, but not rear of the R32)
    • What are we supposed to be seeing in the photo of the steering angle sensor? The outer housing doesn't turn, right? All the action is on the inside. The real test here is whether or not your car has had the steering put back together by a butcher. When the steering is centred (and we're not caring about the wheel too much here, we're talking about the front wheels, parallel, facing front) then you should have an absolutely even number of turns from centre to left lock and centre to right lock. If there is any difference at all then perhaps the thing has been put back together wrongly, either the steering wheel put on one spline (or more!) off, and the alignment bodged to straighteb the wheel, or the opposite where something silly was done underneath and the wheel put back on crooked to compensate. Nut there isn't actually much evidence that you have such a problem anyway. It is something you can easily measure and test for to find out though. My money is still on the HICAS CU not driving the PS solenoid with the proper PWM signal required to lighten the load at lower speed. If it were me, I would be putting either a multimeter or oscilloscope onto the solenoid terminals and taking it for a drive, looking for the voltage to change. The PWM signal is 0v, 12V, 0V, 12v with ...obviously...modulated pulse width. You should see that as an average voltage somewhere between 0V and 12V, and it should vary with speed. An handheld oscilloscope would be the better tool for this, because they are definitely good enough but there's no telling if any cheap shit multimeter that people have lying around are good enough. You can also directly interfere with the solenoid. If you wire up a little voltage divider with variable resistor on it, and hook the PS solenoid direct to 12V through that, you can manually adjust the voltage to the solenoid and you should be able to make it go ligheter and heavier. If you cannot, then the problem is either the solenoid itself dead, or your description of the steering being "tight" (which I have just been assuming you mean "heavy") could be that you have a mechanical problem in the steering and there is heaps of resistance to movement.
    • Little update  I have shimmed the solenoid on the rack today following Keep it Reets video on YouTube. However my steering is still tight. I have this showing on Nisscan, my steering angle sensor was the closest to 0 degrees (I could get it to 0 degrees by small little tweaks, but the angle was way off centre? I can't figure this out for the life of me. I get no faults through Nisscan.
