NOTE: Already posted this in the Cosmetic section, but I know some people don't read that bit so whatever. Deal with it.

Hi guys,

A mate of mine's looking to get some rims for his 34 GTT, no rolled guards, and what appears to be stock (or semi-stock) suspension.

We fitted my LM-GT3's (18x9 +26) on front and rear to see how they look/fit, and are thinking they're probably a bit wide, so the idea was this:

What rims are you running on your 34 GTT? If you could copy/paste this bit and reply, would be MUCH appreciated.

Rim Brand/style:

Size:

Offset:

Tyre brand/size:

Guards rolled y/n:

Suspension:

sorry for big pics cant be arsed resizing

+45 would sit quite a way in; I'd think it'd scrub on the suspension, not the body :/

ohok, so they wouldn't fit or would just look bad? it struck me as a strange offset when I saw it, even though its claimed to suit skyline. bah this whole offset thing gives me the shits

It's an annoying concept hey! Once your head is around it though, you never forget it.

I'm running 18x9 +26, and I would only really want to run maybe +35, tops, with 255's on them.

Wait, hang on, I've run 275's before.. Hmm. Maybe the suspension is different.. But yeah, if you want x9's, try and get between +25 and +35. With my +26 and 255's on the rear, they feel like they line up perfectly with my rear rolled guards; much fatter and it'd scrub on the outside... not sure how much room on the inside I have though.

    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
