Hey,

I have an R34 Gtt with Nismo S Tune shocks fitted all round and currently running Lenso D1R wheels all round which are 18x8.5 all round but not sure of the offset. Tyres are 235/40/18.

I've come across a staggered set to of Lmgt4's at a good price but not too sure about the staggered sizing look just yet? Does anyone else run similar set ups?

The fronts are 17x8.5 +30 front tyres are 225/40/17 and the rear is 18x9.5 +38 with 235/40/18 tyres.

How would this setup fit/ run and obviously look?

Any help would be appreciated!

Cheers

Front tyres are stretched onto rims that wide, so are infected with AIDS and will infect you too. If you do plan on using them you should go up to at least 235/45 if not 255/40.

Rears are also stretched onto rims that wide and will give you AIDS from behind. You don't want that. Unless you're into that kind of thing, of course.

And that's just dealing with the tyres. The different diameter thing is not my cup of tea.

Thanks for the feedback guys!

34geeteetee thanks for the offer but if I do change my lensos it'll only be lmgt4's going on! I'm a bit of a Nismo whore.. Then again aren't we all? :P

The rims aren't on a 34 lol. They are on an old Toyota crown I believe? That's why I'm not sure about the offset suiting a GTT? To be honest I thought they would be stretched considering the rears are a whole inch wider then my current rims fitted with the same 235 width tyres.

I was thinking 235/45/17 tyres for the front. What about the rear? 255/40/18? Then would the rear guards need rolling?

Thanks guys

Hahaha Hadouken!

I'd be running 265's as well.. But whether they will scrub without rolling guards I don't know.. I was hesitant on the +38 offset but it seems Nismo recommend 18x9.5 +38 on the back with 255/35/18 tyres on the r33.. See below. But I can't find anything for a 34!!!

The offsets will fit especially if you stretch the tyres. I have the same (+33 on the front) on my R34 but mine are both 18's not 17's at front and 18's at rear.

Also my wheels are LMGT2's... so far as 'same' they aren't really. But the offsets are. I also have 275's on the back with no rolling nor flaring. I'd wager they can be made to fit even if they're slightly too big.

Yeah thanks Gtsboy, that's what I thought..

Of course kinkstaah, anything can be made to fit! :P I love the look of LMGT2's on 34's. Do you have a pic?

I also found this on the forum. Thanks to Shoujiki! Seems the offset is perfect.. Just going to need to get some new Michelin Pilot Sport 3's fitted!! :)

    • The fab work can be as simple as a couple of silicon hoses and clamps to the factory piping. 
    • Just sounds like either way you need to do some fab work to get everything to fit, so why limit yourself at that point? If the GCG high flow option is zero effort in and out swap though I'd probably do that. It's almost certainly lowest risk, lowest cost, etc. The HKS GTIII-RS option that Kapr mentioned is laughably expensive for what it is, they charge the exact same for two turbos on the RB26 so their margins are off the charts on that thing.
    • Intake manifold is not a part of the issue. The turbo bolts to the exhaust manifold. That is easy. But close your eyes and picture the physical situation. That is a T3 flange on the manifold and a T3 flange on the turbo. As long as any new turbo has a T3 flange on the exhaust housing, that exhaust housing will bolt to the exhaust manifold. This places the exhaust housing in the same place as the stock one. But now move your mental attention a little further forward. The location of the compressor housing is set by the length of the turbo's core. The stock turbo had a long core. Let's say that it is..... 100mm long. So that would place the compressor housing 100mm forward of the exhaust housing. But a highflow, might well have a centre core that is shorter. Let's say that it is only 70mm long. Now the compressor housing will be 30mm further back in the engine bay than the stock one. This DOES move the turbo's compressor outlet backwards. It also moves the compressor's inlet backwards. You will very likely have to do some work to both the inlet and outlet piping to make everything connect again. I am not say this to make it out to be a bigger deal than it is. I am just pointing out that "bolt on" is sometimes not quite bolt on. The highflow from GCG that Murray linked above (https://gcg.com.au/turbo-charger-upgrade-skyline-gtst-2iu-xtrgts-s1.html ) uses a core that is the same length as the stock core, and so does not require this extra work. It will look very much like the stock turbo. No-one uses GTR turbos of any flavour (stock, or aftermarket) in a single turbo application on RB20/25. It's not a thing. Yes, people have been putting on GT3076, GTX3076 (and bigger and smaller versions of those) and G30s (of various sizes) onto RB20/25 since forever. But these are not "bolt on". Everything except the 4 bolts to the exhaust manifold change with these. And genuine Garretts are expensive. Non-gen, like Pulsar, etc, are cheaper, variously as good or nearly as good. But still not bolt on. No-one in the right mind would pay for an HKS turbo. Not in this modern day and age. Well, yes, the GCG highflow. You could ask HG what he can do to make the compressor housing sit in the original location. There are surely others doing highflows around the world. And some of the eBay/Temu ones (as reported by Dose) work and don't die. Bit of a lottery though. I would send your turbo to GCG (here in Oz) to be highflowed if you want a trivial no-extra-work option. But seriously, the work required to change inlet and outlet piping is not that hard. That's a boost control problem, not a turbo problem.
    • Thank you all for the replys 🙂 I know that intake would be different but that is one pipe at it is not that hard to get(custom one). I meant mainly bolt to the stock manifold and the turbo elbow. I looked and many sites/forums but they are just "old" with some old HKS turbos from GT-R i guess? What about some Garrets?  Or any other turbo? Is there even a turbo which i can just bolt on? 😄 And yeah i know about that new HKS but that is like 2000k USD without taxes/shipping in here   Iam getting a touch up tune but my "problem" is that on the "not" hot day iam getting peaks around 0,9 bar...and when it was around 15 Celsious i saw peak around 1 bar which is just too much for stock turbo. And of course turbo is old and i like to get some new one for a piece of mind 🙂 
    • I'm working on the assumption that our friend Jasmine here is a Russian (or, possibly Ukrainian) spammer/spambot, based purely on the number of such that I have been having to neuter in the last few weeks. IP address for the OP above was in WA. But that could have been via VPN. Posting at quarter to 4 in the morning is a good sign of being from somewhere in Europe. The last Jasmine that I kicked in the cooch was IP addressed in Ukraine. Even that could have been via VPN, and the bitchbot could have been from Russia, Serbia, China or anywhere. Regardless, was a spambot, so I killed it with fire. The fact that our new friend Jasmine here did not respond in any way to my tart query strongly suggests to me that this OP was just the establishment phase of a user able to be activated for spamming in a week, or 3 or 10.
