well I am a little bored, I pulled apart the spray gun I was going to use and gave it a good clean, ended up getting a good fan from it, but the spray is interrupted every 8-9 seconds though, maybe running too much pressure, today will see me service the hoist jack, can't wait :mellow:.

But there aint much to do until the body parts arrive i have been told that is tuesday.

Hi all,

can't find much on here about it, but I had a look at Enkei's fitment guide and they are saying a 19x10 +35 is best fit for an R34 GTR, I was looking to stuff a 20x10+35 in there, with a 275/30/R20.

Can anyone see a problem with this?

The rolling diameter of my stocks with 265/35R18's RE01's will be just over 3%, so no real matter philosophically there for me, I think the std ratios are a little short anyway. will have copy z-tune guards and lowered adjustable suspension and bushes to reduce cambers and help keep more tyre on the road.

these are the ones I am looking at;

20x10+35 Should fit fine, hell even go a bit lower on the offset I'd say to get it a bit flusher, I'm sure people will agree with me.

First style you posted looks the best, have you looked at CR KAIs or something similar? not sure if they come in 20s but look nice XD9 and XT7 will look nice as well. Then there is the Volk path but $$$$ for GTR sizes TE37s, GT-Cs etc would look tops.

Oh and just FYI - I run 18x10 +15 on my r33 GTR (would have gone bigger but that was the largest they make) and r33 GTR guards are a tiny bit smaller then R34 GTR ones I think. Heres a quick pic of mine:

certainly had the car for a while, must have been one of the first 34 R's in the country back in '02 :)

nice to see it's getting a freshen up :)

It was complied in Victoria too. But generally good to know it has been in Oz for all of that time, makes an estimation of the actual km's traveled a lot easier.

I saw an article of a White R34 GTR v's a GTS Monaro, that was way back when they first came out, always had a sneaky suspicion it was this one :thumbsup:

Would be interesting to know for sure.

Well here it is!

The first unexpected problem >_<

The sump where it joins up with the front diff is cracked.

Darren thinks it was a factory repair that created a weak spot, as the original Nissan silastic was still on the sump.

I did remember the Beer Baron had a 34 sump with a diff fitted, but from chatting with him on Friday, he has disappeared since.

So if anyone out there has a R34 sump with the original diff fitted, I am interested to buy!!

My diff is in good shape, but the cost of fitting and a sump is more than we can get the whole unit second hand. Currently waiting on three people to get back to me from around Australia and the world, so please anyone else, get in touch?

Would like to put this to bed within a week.

Thanks Leigh,

Pretty hard to find the Volks in 20's.

Looks like the Enkei's might have to do!

I take it you will be sourcing a set of Xenons for it aswell, instead of the halogen headlights in it now??

Nice build!

Hi Granthem,

It does have Xennon lights currently, but they have been doctored in there, so I found out the other day, the fittings are dubious to say the least!

I guess it wouldn't hurt top put it out there to see if anyone has any Xennon loom clips to solder in from a wrecked vehicle.

UNfortunately the headlights are getting some plastic welding done to them currently. Can't really do too much with the body until they come back.

Definitely be looking for 18x10.5 or more if you want flush. The new TE37SL come in 18x11's. They would do perfectly I think..

Looking to drop the hammer on some of the Enkei GTC01's 20x11+18, they will weigh a tonne, but will put some R compounds on the stocks for track days. They will be dressed in Falken F452 275/30/R20's. the tyres in US are soooo cheap!!

Good price.

Whats wrong with the splitter too? The narrower splitter I believe is designed to work with the Rtune bonnet, which pulls cool air from under the car, past the back of the radiator and out the bonnet vents with the hot radiator exhaust air.

That is interesting, I thought the point of the R-Tune bonnet was to pull more air through the FMIC and radiator, could be wrong though. The guards are internally vented to pull hot air from the engine, so that will help the bay stay cooler.

The splitter was too narrow for the bumper, this isn't related to the length, there is a user on here with a top secret splitter available, I have PM'd him, but failing that I will fix the one I have I guess.

    • Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga
    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
