hi there,

im from NZ and happened to come across your site and find it really interesting that you all know this much stuff. Now im a noob at this but im looking at dropping my 98 R34 with King lows and putting a set of 19" Eurohart C Form from Racing Hart on it. they are 9 on the back with 275x35.19" tyres and 8 on the front with 235x35.19".....you guys know ur stuff so do u think this would be ok? any problems that i may find, im in the process of doing it up now it has a C West wing at the mo and when i get the wheels and springs i think i will then look later on at maybe a bomex body kit.

What do you think?

btw: you guys have harsh rules but man your rides are phat :)

are you sure 19" could fit? over the weekend i had to do a suspension check since petrolium jelly started to ooze out of the front right suspension arm joint..eek :rofl: however since the wheel was off ithought i might try and see if the old supra 20" rims would fit, stud pattern is the same however the wheel would of never have fit with the nissan suspension strut coming out and over the wheel with only about an inch clearence with the old stock 17" wheel. I beleived that 18" was as high as you could go......am i wrong?

It doesn't like going over 1 bar because the stock turbo should not be boosting anywhere near that level. It is absolutely at its maximum efficiency at 12psi. You should lower the boost to 12psi and you will find you will make the same power, smoother and no more boost/fuel cuts.

Hey RyanN yeah, they seemed aiight to me, i had them on this morning but not lowered and it seemed to be ok, the guy at the mag shop hasn't said it wouldn't work with that set up, he was the one that suggested it so i hope it will be fine :rant: else i will have to look at some 18's if i must cause i want it lower...but couldn't i just take that plastic stuff thats inside the wheels arches out aswell or is it best left on?

as for your advice on boost NJR thanx man, it seems to like it at 12 so i think ill leave it there, with my new wheels on anyway i doubt im gonna want to burn much rubber hahaha

i got a pic with them on for u 2 look at and give me an opinion if you like on what you reckon....the 3rd pic is sumthing i put on to see if bling was the thing, so let me know if u like them

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
