Thanks Joel, do you know what the standard offsets are on the 6.5 inch R32 gts rim?

The whiteline faq says that the offsets should be similar or stay the same when getting new wheels?

I'll have to find out what the 33 GTR rim offsets are too...

Ok i just checked my rims...all the numbers i know are what are stamped on the outside of the wheels. eg Nissan forged...17x9 JJ 30...24UIO...SK35.

SO...

The R33 GTR wheels have an offset of 30 and are 17x9

The R32 GTST/4 wheels have an offset of 40 and are 16x6.5

Using the wheel offset calculator: http://toy4two.home.mindspring.com/offset.html

Your new wheel will have the following chracteristics:

The clearance from stut housing to the inside of the wheel will be 22mm LESS

The outside edge of the wheel will EXTEND an extra 42mm

If anyone thinks different then please correct me.

:rofl:

R32/33/34 Skylines don't have struts. :wassup:

9" = 228.6 mm

6.5" = 165.1 mm

22mm (extra in) + 42mm (extra out) = 64 mm

Hence the centre of the wheel has moved 10 mm further out. Hardly significant.

From memory that is the same as R32GTR wheels.

It places extra load on suspension parts.

So does driving around corners faster.:D

Running "R" tyres on the standard wheels would put more strain on the suspension parts than moving the wheel centre 10mm using "road" tyres.

Thanks Sydneykid! thats what i wanted to hear ;)

I think if the offsets had a greater difference than 10mm them maybe it would wear out things such as wheel bearings etc quicker, like it says in the whiteline faq. But with only 10mm its not significant enough. :headspin:

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      I'm actually not sure - I think it was "Stealth Performance" (It really is near impossible to find a FEMALE 1/8BSPT to 1/8NPT male at ALL) but having the thing leveraged on a 90 degree angle on a small aluminium fitting is not too smart. Also in not too smart, I've drilled out the center of the broken fitting so there's maybe 0.00001mm of thread to bite into, so yeah. I may have to get it drilled/tapped/plugged entirely. Given I could conceivably tap a thread/adapter/pressure line in any point in the oil system I suppose it's feasible to run a line to the Nissan Sensor to keep the dash working. Do these exist in AN fittings and the like? Like an AN fitting that has a NPT (or other?) thread as well for putting a sensor in?

      Anyone running the VQ37VHR with forced induction?

      I would agree.  There will be an amount of boost you could run safely with an otherwise factory system, but it would be low enough to not be worth the cost.  And if you are reliving your 20s, you know a 'little bit' was never enough. Personally, if I didn't want to spend the money, then stick with NA bolt-ons, and maybe a tune.

      Fuark, at least the motor survived. What brand was the fitting that snapped?

      Wrong question. There's no point in spending the rather large sum of cash and effort to add turbo, without taking it to the "sensible" limit of the motor itself. If you have to upgrade injectors, etc, then so be it. That is a tiny fraction of what it will cost you to turbo it.

      Starter motor replacment teeth count.

      Measure voltage at the starter solenoid terminal when the key is at start and it has clicked. If it is really low, then the suspicion falls on the ignition switch (contacts or wiring thereof) as causing a voltage drop instead of sending enough volts to throw the solenoid all the way to engage the starter itself. If it is a decent voltage, then the suspicion is on the solenoid. Might have s horted coil, or might hva dirty contacts. Rip the starter off, dismantle, clean up contacts and inspect winding. It might not be possible to see if there is a short in the winding though. I have a spare starter here that I could measure the resistance of the coil, as a guide to about what it should be, if you need a comparison. <parts hoarder>No you cannot have it.</parts hoarder>
