I can see its an old subject, Just thought I'd add my experience on different rim width sizes. I have 17x8.5 at the front with 235/45 and 17x10 wheels at the back with 255/40 (or 35). On my R32, which has no extra control over the ATESSA the speed in which the front wheels get power is amazing. It is so fast that the car can really be safetly thrown around, where as before the R32 ATESSA actually took an instant before getting the power to the front. And it wasn't too hard to get the back right around to the front. At 100km/hr there is power going to the front wheels, I've been running it like this for about 1 1/2 years and havent had any problems. In fact I'd recommend it as a performance upgrade.

As to rims, the TE37's definatley look good. Just a lot of $$$

This is occurring because the ATTESSA is seeing the rear wheels turning quicker than the front (due to the smaller rolling diameter of the rear wheels). So at 100kph, this difference has increased (with speed) therefore the front wheels will have even more drive to them.

BTW, my favourite wheels are BBS LM's, LM GT4's, AME Modelart, TE37's RacingHart CR, and anything deep dished and star-shaped.

I love the Top Secret Volk GT-C's... company here could get a set for me, but god damn theyre pricey!!

Meanwhile, are these Enkeis common in Japan? I have them on my GTR, at times they look ok, other times they look stupid. Never seen them on another car or in mag/product listings though --> http://gtr.infinite.net.au/mygtr5.jpg

I saw your car at SAS one time and thought it was interesting how your wheels have different offsets front and rear so it looks like the rears are wider. Appart from that, I'd have to say I'm not a fan.

Ahh yes, that was a while ago... trying to repress those memories of my fuel pump crying no moreeee on the dyno :rofl:

Really want to pick up the GT-C's in the near future some time, and just slick the current enkeis and use for track (they weigh next to nothing).

justinfox: yeah, they look great, you just need the hubble telescope to see them from Australia :P  Hoping I can get them here (without being pinched by some arsehole in the next month).

Its apparently a special order colour that Ray's offers (another one is Mercury Silver, but those a *freakin* expensive to get, even by TE-37 standards).

LW.

Hey Lucien, have you got them yet? What size tyre are you running? 265/35/18?

Have you got a pic of the "Mercury Silver" finish? I am looking at a set of "special edition" GTR only coloured gun metal TE37s... are they the same thing or is the "Mercury Silver" an almost dark mirrored look?

cheers

edit: I think the left one is the Mercury Silver, the right one is gun metal ;)vok1.jpg

      R34 GTR running rich and noisy turbo coincidence

      Put a fuel pressure gauge on it. Replace the turbos. Probably completely separate issues.

      Recomended Coolant For Gt T R34

      By silviaz · Posted

      What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.

      R34 GTR running rich and noisy turbo coincidence

      Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!

      R34 4 door side skirt identification

      By Rezz · Posted

      No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
