Hi all,

I'm on the hunt for R34 GTT OEM 17" wheels with semis or semi-like track tyres in 225/45R17 (or close), with decent meat left:

  • RE55
  • A050
  • AD08
  • 595RSR
  • KU36

R34 GTT OEM wheels preferred but may consider others that are very close in size i.e. 17 x 7.5", 5/114.3 PCD, +40 offset.

(I'm running 20mm spacers and would prefer to retain them so I can easily swap between street and track wheels without re-Locktiteing...)

Let me know what you've got.

What about a set of Oz Racing, 17 x 8 and +38 (I think - need to confirm). They are Evo rims, so 67.1mm hub, but can supply with a set of alloy hub spacers to fit Skyline. Currently fitted with Toyo R1R's in 235/45 (once again, need to confirm), with tread left (not huge amount, but got a few track days left in them).

Rims were professional re-painted in 2 pack not so long ago, but 1 has a small area needing a patchup. There is also a 5th rim with no tyre available.

They belong to my son, if interested I'll get full details & confirm price. We ran these for a while on an R33 GTST without spacers, and they could have done with a bit more poke.

Thanks Geoff, great wheels with good tyres. Unfortunately the different hub size won't work in my application as I'd prefer not to swap two different types of spacers in and out..

The spacers I'm talking about fit into the back of the rim, and stay there. They come off the car with the rim. They are like:

They are there to make the rim's hub hole fit to the car's hub.

Tyres are 235/40R17

Interesting, I've just PM'd you with some more questions

Found some wheels thanks guys.

Still after some UHP tyres or R comps at 235/45R17 with decent meat left if you have some near Melbourne.

    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt 
    • So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm. 
    • Wouldn’t touch par if they gave it to me. You need to ask how much power you’re looking to make and then add about 50% to it because that’s what you’ll end up making  The factory box says no more at about 350kw or so, the upgraded synchro boxes won’t handle much over 500kw for long and at that point you’re looking at an auto or dog engagement manual,  once you’ve gone dog engagement you may as well go sequential, they cost a little bit more but it’s worth it  also while you’re at it you should upgrade the transfer case with 10 friction plates
