car is stock height . she wont let me lower it. the rear of my car is flush with outside of qtr panel with a 350z rim on it 8 and 30 offset. and a 8.5 will be 6 mm further out at 30 offset. i no the rear wheel tucks 18 mm 2 inches lowered. but at stock height i think she will gutter them.

By the sounds I don't think it will matter if the rims are 20mm in or out, it sounds like she will just gutter them anyway. So get what your happy with!!!

My M35 has R32 GTR rims on it until the new rims arrive, so 8+30 and before I lowered it they sat inside the guard about 10mm front and back.

If you're selling them when the new ones come let me know. Set of off road tyres might be useful for the occasional rally, just not sure I want the stone chips!

Yeah they will be up for sale as soon as the new rims arrive. I do love R32 GTR rims though, forged and light weight, what more is there to say!

Ok ordering wheels tommorow. decided on 18 8s 38 offset . not to wild in offset but safe for gutter bashing wifes. any thoughts before i order. and im thinking 235 40 18 for tires commo size .

You'd be better off with a 245/45/18 tyres for both appearance and ride comfort.

I had 235/40/18 on my Nismo's and it all looked too small in those massive wheel arches we have.

My mate's M35 had 245/45 on his Works 18's which looked much more in proportion.

Side note, we both have Nismo S-tune suspension.

i have 235 40 on mine and thats 19x 8.5. it only just fills the guards out.

      R34 GTR Speedo Drive , sensor type ?

      By Butters · Posted

      Working through possible solutions of converting my mechanical speedo.    Anyone know what type of speedo sensor the factory r34 gtr getrag has ? what the output is ? I assume its not a VSS and more a voltage like earlier speedo sensors ? Can an ECU read it ?

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
