Hello,

Just looking for some wheels to buy.

Want to have some nice white wheels - perhaps rays te37 or enkei wrc tarmac forged.

Just wondering what people think of width and diameter.

I was thinking something like deep dish 18" by 8 or 19" by 8 wearing around 245s or 235s with low pro tyres probably about 30 or 40 thou.

I'd have another set with less crazy "show" value for drift etc.

With a bit of camber etc would you guys expect me to get rub on a lowered r32 (sitting on coilovers for example)?

Also I read an article about handling on these forums I think and I remember that it said because the skyline is 50/50 weight destribution the tyres back and front should be the same.

Do you guys think these tyre/wheel choices are reasonable - or will I be unable to do some things with them?

This will offcourse be street/light track dutues.

Also - what size would the wheels be on these two cars.. 18" or 19"?

Red car = 19" 9" width with 245s 30thou

Wht car = 18 or 17" 8.5 with 245s 40 tho

Does that sound about right?

Last question - How do you measure dish? :(

Cheers guys appreciate it. Also should note someone posted these pics before so I they ain't to my credit :)

ta :rofl:

If your looking for an inexpensive set of 18 inch deep dish wheels, check out the Manaray Sport Vertec VR5 Quest.

Ive got these on my 32 and they look awesome. 8.5 inch rims on the rear have 3.5 inches of dish! (Measuring it is simple, get a ruler out and place it on the dish section of the rim).

My local wheel bloke quoted me $1550 for 4 rims without rubber. Relatively cheap compared to Volks :rofl:

You may also find the same rim rebadged as a DTM.

Mine actually scrub when i go hard into some corners, which im going to fix when I can afford a new set of Teins. My current Apexi springs are way too low at the front in particular which is causing it. Im sure a reasonably lowered car could get away without tyre rubbing.

Sweet will checkem out.

Thanks for the info - with the dish measuring where do you measure from?

dish section to... the edge of the guard? from the axle (where the brakes are)?

They do look great - Do you know how much they weigh?

Also what tyres do you wear on them? 8.5 so about 235s?

My friend has 225s on his. Are ok but I think with 235 or 245 it would handle better but I'm worried 245 = too big for drift without a really done up engine.

Any ideas about that?

Also final question - got a pic of your car with those rims? :(

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve.

      I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.

      No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.

      God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
