I was considering powder-coating my XT7s in black for my R34, but decided against it.

Now you're making me think about it again damn you lol.

But I must agree with previous comments......one of the toughest 33 GTS-T's around.

Just needs that front lip painted black to finish it off :P

235/40's and rolled guards and you can tuck that easy :)

Thanks for that, what about 18x9 +4 f and 18x10 +4 r would take fair bit of work to tuck them in hey?

i have a friend that has 18 9 with 0 offset they stick out a lil but all he did is rolled the guards flat and pulled the guards out a shit load by hand and it come up pretty good im running 18 9 +15 and i have only rolled the fronts a lil iv posted up pics just go back and have a look.

Thanks for that, what about 18x9 +4 f and 18x10 +4 r would take fair bit of work to tuck them in hey?

Fronts with a 215 or 225 would need a roll and pulling out, depending on height of course. Rear will need a roll and possibly a pull also depending on how much camber your going to run and how flush you want it. But it would look great lol

Mr Hamish,

You reckon you could tuck 18x9.5 +14 in your 33 as is with same size tyres you're using on SSR's?

easy... I have had 9.5+18's on there with no hastles

my new rims are gonna be 10+18's btw

dont forget my guards are pulled tho.... why?

Thanks for that, what about 18x9 +4 f and 18x10 +4 r would take fair bit of work to tuck them in hey?

9+4 would be doable on my rig, but 10+4 would need more flaring or camber.

still easily doable tho

Hamish,

I'm selling the GTR for another GTST, and I remember there's some room in your front guards when you have the professors in when I looked at it last.

So your answer is very useful, thanks for that, how much have you pulled the guards?

Cheers

Grant

Hi All, I've read through this entire thread so I apologise in advance if I shouldn't ask this here (please direct me to the right spot)

I've come across some Works XD9's which are 18x9 +30 all round without tires. From everything I've read it seems these should fit fine on my R34 Sedan and will probably stick out about 5mm on the front? Anybody able to help with this?? Also they don't have tires, what's my best bet in terms of nice fitment?? (or is it best I just take the car to a tyre shop somewhere, I'm in Perth btw)

They are currently bronze but after seeing Blaqs I'm very tempted to go black also coz once you go black... =P

thanks in advance lads

    • That R31 was so cool. Only did Orange Park once. Scared the hell out of me.

    • The alloy coolant reservoir has a sight glass, so as long as I can see coolant in the sight glass it's GTG, as for PS, it isn't anything catastrophic if it gets low, and as it hasn't lost a drop since I have owned the car I cannot see it being an issue, even after putting the "big block" 2.5 in....LOL The only time it gets slightly messy is at oil changes, as the oil filter sits above the frame, and I need to use a plastic bottle with its bottom cut off to catch the flow when loosening the filter
    • Good on you for taking on the job, but it is a big one. Even if you have bolt on manifold and turbo, you will need: Post throttle pressure source to boost controller to wastegate (and FPR, and ECU/MAP sensor) Pre throttle pressure source to top of BOV(s) Oil feed - you can take that from the standard port in the middle of the block Oil return to block under the turbo - this is much trickier than it seems to route a decent/wide pipe past the manifold. You really can't use rubber hose because it is way too hot there, and also the oil out of the turbo core is a bit frothy so it needs to have a decent diameter Water feed - you can take that from the standard port in the rear of the block. Water return - mine runs to a T into the heater box return, just make sure you don't create a high point making bleeding hard. All of those lines should use 200 series style teflon braided hose with heat shielding because everything needs to be routed past the manifold. Also a turbo beanie is a really good idea to minimise the chance of the car catching fire (under bonnet lining in particular) You also need to decide a cam cover breathing solution as well, will you vent externally via a catch can (probably illegal) or return to the intake (plumbing required and can oil up everything over time) Keep in mind the intake and exhaust piping in the engine bay will be custom so you either need to be able to fab ally and steel or have someone you can get a car that isn't running to. Get the wideband fitting welded into the dump pipe at the same time. Also, just my opinion, a screamer pipe attracts attention and doesn't add power, I'd plumb it back if you want to be allowed to keep the car on the road. BTW do you know anything about how healthy the motor is, and what power you are targeting? Doubling or tripling the factory power on an unknown motor is a little risky. Also fuel system will need some attention (pumps, high current hanger, direct power and earth feed, injectors etc)
