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.

    • So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit? 
    • Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!
    • I'm a fan of the JZX110, and the Aristo. Big cruiser cars, and with the factory cars, super comfortable and feel like you're driving an armchair! And the JZ motors are a pretty nice engine too, especially with some basic mods.   The import process, and the need to be able to trust people, and the fact there's so many scammers around is what ever puts me off wanting to go through that ordeal!
    • I don't care for these at all, but at least the underside looks straight and not rusty. A good basis for a long life. Many cars from Japan have been lifted with forklifts and f**ked almost irrepairably.
    • Yes, but it's not dumb or dodgy. You can build a perfectly good boost controller from a pressure reg, a relief valve (looks same same as a reg if all from Norgren or SMC, for example) and a check valve. I ran one for years. Only superceded with  EBC because I could get one for cheaps and wanted finer control.   THis mod is certainly not a sketchy boost mod, provided the boost is kept below the "spin to death" threshold of the turbos.
