Hey guys, I've got an R32 GTS-4 and really keen on getting 18x9+20 on the fronts and 18x10+18 on the rears. But I want to make sure the rears will clear everything and there won't be any fitment issues with the rims hitting the insides of the car. Just wanna make sure that 10 inch wide rears wont affect the drive. Any advice would be very helpful. Thanks!

I'm after stretch and poke as well so I'm chucking 225/40/18 on the front and 235/40/18 on the rear. Should look insane!

Fashion over function?

Will look even better up on the hoist with a burnt out transfer case being replaced

you ask for advice, here it is.

what they are saying is - you do what you like so it will "look" awesome.

right up until the 4wd poos itself and you have to repair/replace the 4wd transfer case.

the skyline attessa needs the same rolling diameter front and rear in order not to shit itself. You use different width/aspect ratio tyres at your own peril

and while I'm not here to tell you what to do - it's your car - i will say:

1. it looks shit

2. the camber you'll run will destroy tyres instantly

3. the wear on CVs, etc will be greater

4. you run the risk of damaging the rim much faster

5. it will be uncomfortable as an enima, so if it's your daily ride, good luck with that

...and probably a whole lot more issues.

But hey, what price to get the bitches (which, contrary to what car modifiers think, it won't help you. F&F has a lot to answer for).

      Good to know, I feel like I am in for a rollercoaster ride that looks like a sine wave.

      Yet another RB Neo misfiring thread after reading all the others.

      By uchoa · Posted

      Hey folks. I've been lurking and browsing the forum for a while, since I got into my head that I wanted a skyline. Having purchased an overpriced completely stock GTT, (only "mods" it has is HKS pod filter and catback) now that it became legal in the US, it was all glorious and sututu noises here and there. But then I wanted to do things right and went to do basic maintenance. After all the fluids, filters done, I did the spark plugs, that's when the problems started.. First the car started spluttering at around 4.5k RPM. Which I gapped down the new plugs and that solved the sputter there, but the car now always misfires at idle with pops when lifting off and shifting 2nd to 3rd. Similar to the issues in this recent thread. I've been banging my head against the wall, reading the threads here and trying suggestions for a couple months now, so decided to start this one to explain exactly what I tried and what is going on. The symptoms of the issue: Idle and low revs misfiring intermittently. You can hear the exhaust tone change and the shakes on the shifter knob. It happens frequently, but doesn't seem to have a rhythm to it. Pops when backing off throttle. It pops and or burbles almost feels like it spits fire when it pops. (Happens mostly in 3rd gear at around 2k RPM). When under load and after 6k RPM, it also pops when shifting from 2nd to 3rd. There's a ticking noise at around 2k RPM in 2nd gear going downhill, seems unrelated though but I am out of educated and downright dumb guesses. Not noticeable lack of power when putting the car into load. The attempted diagnosis and solutions: Unplugging coils when the car is running This did nothing to change the idling and tone shift for every cylinder. Checking the exhaust headers with thermometer They all are within what I'd say it is margin of error of the laser thermometer New spark plugs Tossed two new sets, copper, iridium and using the old ones, still misfiring, even re gapped to 0.8mm, still same thing. MAF cleaned with the "specific" spray cleaner No changes in the issues what so ever. Brand new loom and r35 coil conversion (was going to add the r35 coils anyway) car runs arguably better, still misfires, but seems like does less frequently. Placebo? Code 21 now being thrown, thanks nissan gods. Removed the CAS to check the shaft for play or anything. CAS seems all fine, nothing that indicates any issue, visually speaking. Things to attempted next: Ordered a new MAF (chinesium from Amazon, to be able to return regardless of result). Fuel with proper gas, maybe it is this California water that they sell as gas that is to blame? Plugin the link ECU and check the info using the built in base map. Go back to BMW and eat my rob bearing breakfast without milky oil mixture.   Do any of you have experienced anything like this or have any suggestion?

      Hello! I had a mid life crisis on a budget and coincided with the R34s being legal in the USA. And now I am here, with it having old car problems and me slowly hoarding parts to start building it to what I envision. Essentially I made a mistake, that lead me to join this forum filled with legends.
