hi guys,

Looking at purchasing some 18s for the R34GTT the offsets are:

F: 18x8 offset +22

R: 18x9 offset +40

I'm not really across how the offset figures work but would this be a suitable or respectable offset for an R34GTT?

Thanks all for any responses in advance.

Cheers

Jon

try this site...it solved the whole offset" mystery" for me

offset calculator

thanks for tht jake! awesome site!

this is the result I got...which I presume is fine

Your new wheel will have the following chracteristics:

The clearance from stut housing to the inside of the wheel will be 13mm MORE

The outside edge of the wheel will EXTEND an extra 13mm

I found that with 235 fronts I need to fit 265 rears as my 255's caused a TCS error explained below

235 = 79.8 inch rolling radius

255 = 78.6 inch rolling radius

The TCS can see this difference and , on my car, activated the TCS above 140kph (the rears were doing 2mph more than the rears at that speed and the TCS saw this as wheel-spin)

Fitting 265 tyres cured this as there is only 1/3rd of an inch difference so no wheelspin sensed (unless you really are wheelspinning!)

The Offsets are also good for 8" wide fronts and 9" rears (as on mine)

    • The car remains in paint jail. I am now pretty convinced that the whole "RB25 Airboxes are kinda limiting to ~300kw" could be a thing. Also saw a good video from Engine Masters: (Sorry for FB link) (https://www.facebook.com/watch/?ref=search&v=761771519471924&external_log_id=c10bcbb6-2c39-4ff3-9240-287e9921fde6&q=Cold Air Considerations) Where they tested Pod Filter sizes and kept adding bends to a LS3 on an Engine Dyno to find if bends caused power loss. It's a good video worth watching - They did lose ~25hp from making an intake which had 3x90's and a 120 degree. They only lost maybe 1hp with a basic 90. I feel that by sealing up my airbox I have: 1) Created the same restriction a stock airbox would have. 2) Created a very convoluted set of intake 'pipes' by forcing all the air through the ducts. So I am pretty confident I'll be going full circle and have a huge hot air intake pod and actually see a benefit. The air does *not* stay hot once it gets flowing, aided by the ducts, and the pod can then pull air from anywhere. All the posts of yore talk about the stock airbox costing 10-15kw at 300kw+ but you know what? I f**king would very much like that 10-15kw and I remember my own pod filter in engine bay experiences. Turns out the GTT Reo and Headlight brackets really don't allow you to mount GTR items, no matter what the internet says. Various brackets have had to be made up to actually make it fit right for the front bar. Also some idiot mounted a 3L Accusump right where the bumper wants to go, so that has had to be 'relocated' To where, I am still not sure, but it's supposedly mounted in the pictures and I can't see it.
    • Sounds like the oil pressure light is wired into the oil temp sensor... As it warms up, resistance on temp sensor reduces, hence more current can flow and the dash light gets brighter.
    • Got the front subframe and suspension in.    
    • If it's cold in summer, then no issue. If it's cutting out every few seconds and you're not reaching your target temp, then there's an issue. One could be the pressure switch and the other issue could be the temp probe inside the evaporator.
