not that i know off??

I have bought a set of rims and they arent sitting the same as the exact same items on my old 33 GTR. I cant understand why... just need some comparisons.

And if anyone is running 18x10 +18 id love to come over and just see how they sit

Its going into a suspension place today to check it out for me, camber etc. But to the naked eye it doesnt seem to bad... i mean on my last GTR the rims sat around 3mm inside the gaurds. these sit a solid inch!

I may have found the problem. Has anyone ever heard of this. The place measured the offset and said it's around + mid to late 30s and not +18, even tho they are clearly marked +18?? This would explain a lot but I've never heard of this happening before? ? ?

Does anyone else have XD9s in this size?

Maybe they have had the mounting face machined down at some stage.

Make sure that they measured them to the tyre bead not the edge of the rim, 12 mm isn't much difference.

Yer I just got home and measured it myself. The rims right, they were wrong.

Back to square one....

Does anyone in Adelaide have a stock 33 Gtr that would allow me to test these rims front and back on?

Or better yet have a set of 18x10 + 18s on a 33 Gtr?

Really need help guys...

      Pretty sure it is a common fault. I believe this is the only part you need, but don't quote me as I don't have a V36.  I also believe it is a bit of a pain to change and the device needs to be encoded to the car once it is replaced, so may need someone with the right tools.

      Pads for R32 GTS-t, R32 GT-R non V-Spec (Sumitomo), R33 GTS-t and R34 GT-t are all interchangeable. R34 GT uses a 2x piston caliper, hence it didn't fit.

      Checked with amayama and nope, the full S2 manual set is not available anymore. Unsurprising, but still disappointing as the ? on availability gave a glimmer of hope.

      I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
