Sorry make that 18" x 10" + 20 at the rears

Hi guys, I am just wondering if anyone knows if +25 offset (R18, 8.5" fronts 9.5" rears) will fit under the guards sith a stock suspension set up?

cheers

Well if chad is running 18x9.5 with +20 to fill the guards, i would guess that the 10inch wide is going to poke out a little. And obviously if you wanted more low you'd need to either add some camber + roll/lip the guards (probably need that either way)

Hey guys.

Any of yous running something like::

Rims: 18 x 8, +38

Tyres: 235/40

all around on the R34 gtt?

my main concern is whether it'll rub on any of the suspension parts, given its high offset.

any help would be heaps appreciated :)

I just got off the phone with OTR motor sports and they said:

For the 18x9 +25 is too aggressive for stock set up R34 GTT without lowered and camber.

The prefer size in 18" we recommended is 18x8.5 +35~40 for the front and

18x9 +35~40 for the rear.

Does anyone strongly disagree with this??

Yes

Like i said, im on 18x9 +20, lowered on Tein Super street coilovers, with the dampers set to about half way through the 30 odd clicks,

only modification i did was to the rear guards, and that was simply rolling the lip on the under side of the guard a little, a heat gun and hammer took care of that, alternatively you could just buy a guard roller for $150ish or pay someone to do it for you.

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
