its amusing to see how scared Skyline owners are of fitting decent rims..... the ns boys cant get enough.

Yeh i hear ya Trent, wheels need to be sticking out to Fcuk well camber and even spacers, Pitty i just bought wheels, Oh well..... Good luck with the sale! :uh-huh:

different width front and rear on a gtr affects the attessea - spelling. if only they would fit on a gtst without much lipping/roling or guards.

Actually - the above is wrong.

ATTESSA takes input from front and rear wheel speed. This in turn relates to rolling diameter. It is therefore possible to use these rims by having different profile tires to ensure equal rolling diameter front and rear.

Personally I prefer to have the same width of rim and tyre to achieve this, but each to their own I suppose.

I do believe the width isn't such a problem, Its when you stagger 17" on front and 18" on da rear then the profile of tyre on top, and i'm pretty sure its all about the diffs being level. So therefore its all about the circunfrence of each wheel(tyre included) If they are the same then SHE no worry, In my eyes width is all good to be different, alsong as you account for the tyre profile.

would probably best consider widebody on a gts-t.

12's with 13mm offset will stick out rear guards on 32gts-t by a good 6cm or so. should be ok clearing coilovers though.

check out http://toy4two.home.mindspring.com/offset.html for wheel-offset calculator to compare your current rims with these

man, these rims are pimp! suprised they haven't been sold yet

good luck with the sale trent,

(lol @ skyline owners are scared of decent rims!)

who cares? ;)

DUDE you should care! being the face of AUTOBARN!!! If no one on here wants your wheels, maybe they are just not as HARDCORE :freak: as you, which reminds me havent seen you slide for a while...........(what happend?)

i dont see what the differnce is if you have 265/35/18 on the front and 285/35/18 on the rear they are still the same profile hight 35 so same rolling diamater, correct me anyone if im wrong.

the profile is not an exact sidewall height, as tyres get wider in same profile the sidewall gets higher also iirc (its one way or the other), even though would make an unnoticable difference to the speedo the attessa still picks it up.

Thats my understanding of it anyway

The profile is shown as a percentage of the width.

    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.

    • Unsolicited advice? Keep the engine as close to stock as you can. Nothing wrong with adding some boost and making a little more power, but given where you are, you really don't want to try to make it into a monster. I can't imagine the roads are up to it, and the lack of locla support when it grenades will be a ball ache. FWIW, If there is a dyno around that you can access, then brand new injectors are a good idea, which will lead you to (at least) putting a Nistune in it, which will allow you to put an R35 AFM on it, all of which will make it possible to make it much much nicer to drive and live with.
