no you just said that they weren't based off manufacturers,

Did I?

....Whilst Australian Standards are developed in conjunction with manufacturers (along with engineers, industry professionals and international associations)...

where does it say that?

Look Fellas, I didn't come on here to argue fact versus fiction with you. I simply tried to provide some facts about what's legal and what's not, and as I have said numerous times, it's up to the individual to use those facts as they see fit. If like yourselves people choose to ignore the facts, then so be it. It's got nothing to do with me and as Braddd has pointed out it's up to the police to enforce them. However we have already proven that bogus advice has already cost one user alr33x a defect, so where's the harm in clearing up the confusion? I'm sure if he knew the legalities before fitting said tyres he might not have done it.

I never said a stretched tyre is unsafe....

I never said don't do it....

I'm still trying to figure out what you are arguing about here...how can people make an educated decision if they don't have both sides of the story?

Facts do not cease to exist because they are ignored.

i made a statement that the ADR's didnt carry any merit of their own (them doing individual testing themselves), you said that was true, from this we deduce that you think that ADR's are based off them doing their own testing.

bigger turbo, fuel system, computer, fmic, steel induction etc etc etc, i'd be glad if i only copped a defect for tyre size :ninja:

and dont say that it'd get me pulled over and then checked, as we all know coppers love to pull over skylines no matter what the wheel/tyre situation anyway

hey guys just wondering... i have a r34 gtt and want to know what size rims i can get without any modifications. i got a quote from work and they seem to think i can have 18x9 front and 18x10 back. didnt say anythink about offset. offset and tyre sizes would be a big help thanks. also whats the biggest i can go legally??

Edited by pplatr34

also still running stock suspention and i dont mind rolling my rear gaurds alil. after reading alot of these pages i think rear: 18x10 + 18

front: 18x9 + 12 should do the job.

Pretty agressive. Should look good. You'll have to roll front and rear I believe.

ok so ive been told that theres abit involed in fitting those size on. can any1 reccomened the offset for work xd9z to fit snug in stock gaurds?

Edited by pplatr34

Just copy and fill in the table;

Skyline model = r32 gts-t 4door

Wheel diameter = 18"

Wheel width = 8.5 front / 9.5 rear

Wheel offset = +30 front / +35 rear

Tyre size = 225/40 front / 245/40 rear

Modifications to fit = Need low profile tyres to clear the control arms up front. Rears stick out about 2cm past guards so need stretch fit tyres

Hi guys,

can anyone tell me the offset that would fit flush with the 33 guards

front 18x8.5

rear 18x9.5

been reading this topic but just cant find it, always slightly in or out

that shit is useless without offsets mate...

find out the offsets first

is that all i have to do???????

Sorry I don't know 34s that well. It'll look good. Just might cost a bit to make them fit. I think guards will need bit of a pump.

I know a mate is running 18x10's +22 on his 34 and they fit ok with 235's front and back so going by that you'll be 4mm wider at the back and about 2mm further in at the front if you use a 235 tyre. Or maybe he has 245's.... I can't remember. Anyway his didn't scrub.

I'd go 235's front and 245's at back and make em fit.

need some help here guys.

17 x 8 up front

17x 9 on rear, +44 offset, kinda homo atm as you can see in pic below

ill be pickin up four 25mm bolt on spacers tomoz and see how it looks....

keepin in mind this is track only, thinkin maybe a slight flare on teh guard as well...

Image041.jpg

wondering if any one knows what size spacers ill need if i want to fill the guards on my r32 gts-t running r34 gt-t stockies, i want the wheels to sit further out to look abit more agressive as i like the look of the r32 wheels.

cheers.

The question of what wheel size fits what Skyline comes up so often I though this might be a good place to post your own wheel dimensions.

Just copy and fill in the table;

Skyline model =

Wheel diameter =

Wheel width =

Wheel offset =

Tyre size =

Modifications to fit =

One of mine as an example;

Skyline model = R32GTST

Wheel diameter = 17"

Wheel width = 8"

Wheel offset = 35

Tyre size = 245/45/17

Modifications to fit = remove the front inner plastic guards, roll rear lip slightly.

:) cheers :)

got pictures of how the wheels sit?

    • Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
    • OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
    • I forgot about my shiny new plates!
    • Well, apparently they do fit, however this wont be a problem if not because the car will be stationary while i do the suspension work. I was just going to use the 16's to roll the old girl around if I needed to. I just need to get the E90 back on the road first. Yes! I'm a believer! 🙌 So, I contacted them because the site kinda sucks and I was really confused about what I'd need. They put together a package for me and because I was spraying all the seat surfaces and not doing spot fixes I decided not to send them a headrest to colour match, I just used their colour on file (and it was spot on).  I got some heavy duty cleaner, 1L of colour, a small bottle of dye hardener and a small bottle of the dye top coat. I also got a spray gun as I needed a larger nozzle than the gun I had and it was only $40 extra. From memory the total was ~$450 ish. Its not cheap but the result is awesome. They did add repair bits and pieces to the quote originally and the cost came down significantly when I said I didn't need any repair products. I did it over a weekend. The only issues I had were my own; I forgot to mix the hardener into the dye two coats but I had enough dye for 2 more coats with the hardener. I also just used up all the dye because why not and i rushed the last coat which gave me some runs. Thankfully the runs are under the headrests. The gun pattern wasn't great, very round and would have been better if it was a line. It made it a little tricky to get consistent coverage and I think having done the extra coats probably helped conceal any coverage issues. I contacted them again a few months later so I could get our X5 done (who the f**k thought white leather was a good idea for a family car?!) and they said they had some training to do in Sydney and I could get a reduced rate on the leather fix in the X5 if I let them demo their product on our car. So I agreed. When I took Bec in the E39 to pick it up, I showed them the job I'd done in my car and they were all (students included) really impressed. Note that they said the runs I created could be fixed easily at the time with a brush or an air compressor gun. So, now with the two cars done I can absolutely recommend Colourlock.  I'll take pics of both interiors and create a new thread.
    • Power is fed to the ECU when the ignition switch is switched to IGN, at terminal 58. That same wire also connects to the ECCS relay to provide both the coil power and the contact side. When the ECU sees power at 58 it switches 16 to earth, which pulls the ECCS relay on, which feeds main power into the ECU and also to a bunch of other things. None of this is directly involved in the fuel pump - it just has to happen first. The ECU will pull terminal 18 to earth when it wants the fuel pump to run. This allows the fuel pump relay to pull in, which switches power on into the rest of the fuel pump control equipment. The fuel pump control regulator is controlled from terminal 104 on the ECU and is switched high or low depending on whether the ECU thinks the pump needs to run high or low. (I don't know which way around that is, and it really doesn't matter right now). The fuel pump control reg is really just a resistor that controls how the power through the pump goes to earth. Either straight to earth, or via the resistor. This part doesn't matter much to us today. The power to the fuel pump relay comes from one of the switched wires from the IGN switch and fusebox that is not shown off to the left of this page. That power runs the fuel pump relay coil and a number of other engine peripherals. Those peripherals don't really matter. All that matters is that there should be power available at the relay when the key is in the right position. At least - I think it's switched. If it's not switched, then power will be there all the time. Either way, if you don't have power there when you need it (ie, key on) then it won't work. The input-output switching side of the relay gains its power from a line similar (but not the same as) the one that feeds the ECU. SO I presume that is switched. Again, if there is not power there when you need it, then you have to look upstream. And... the upshot of all that? There is no "ground" at the fuel pump relay. Where you say: and say that pin 1 Black/Pink is ground, that is not true. The ECU trigger is AF73, is black/pink, and is the "ground". When the ECU says it is. The Blue/White wire is the "constant" 12V to power the relay's coil. And when I say "constant", I mean it may well only be on when the key is on. As I said above. So, when the ECU says not to be running the pump (which is any time after about 3s of switching on, with no crank signal or engine speed yet), then you should see 12V at both 1 and 2. Because the 12V will be all the way up to the ECU terminal 18, waiting to be switched to ground. When the ECU switches the fuel pump on, then AF73 should go to ~0V, having been switched to ground and the voltage drop now occurring over the relay coil. 3 & 5 are easy. 5 is the other "constant" 12V, that may or may not be constant but will very much want to be there when the key is on. Same as above. 3 goes to the pump. There should never be 12V visible at 3 unless the relay is pulled in. As to where the immobiliser might have been spliced into all this.... It will either have to be on wire AF70 or AF71, whichever is most accessible near the alarm. Given that all those wires run from the engine bay fusebox or the ECU, via the driver's area to the rear of the car, it could really be either. AF70 will be the same colour from the appropriate fuse all the way to the pump. If it has been cut and is dangling, you should be able to see that  in that area somewhere. Same with AF71.   You really should be able to force the pump to run. Just jump 12V onto AF72 and it should go. That will prove that the pump itself is willing to go along with you when you sort out the upstream. You really should be able to force the fuel pump relay on. Just short AF73 to earth when the key is on. If the pump runs, then the relay is fine, and all the power up to both inputs on the relay is fine. If it doesn't run (and given that you checked the relay itself actually works) then one or both of AF70 and AF71 are not bringing power to the game.
