Nah not you mate, i meant SilverS2, info on his setup would probably help both of us, though if you put 9.5's on with no suspension work your car will look like shit.

+22 on a 9.5 will clear the coilovers at the front from what ive stuck in the calculators, but will have some serious poke without camber, lowness, roll/flare and most likely 225's.

Should be sweet at the rear with just a rolled guard. I think it works out to be pretty close to a 10" wide +18 in terms of fitment.

If anyone knows the final word on inner clearance it would be awesome if you could post it up, pictures would be good as well.

cheers,

Jess

Hey, didnt see this post till now, on the rear the 18inch by 9.5 with 30 offset 245 tyres, was needing rolling, and thats with tein coilovers lowered bout half way i think, sits nice on back, the front was definitely causing problems with 9.5wide and if i was to do it again id be going 9 or 8.5 wide.

i have 9.5 on front 30 offset, 245 wide tyres and it was dramas, the guards cuts up the tyres if its low, ive put some camber on and lowered a bit with rolled arches now, but its just scrapping slightly on full lock, but also due to guy that rolled them didnt do it perfectly but its not a huge problem now.

It all depends how low you want to go, the lower you go you run into problems on the front, with the tein coilovers it goes on like 2 or 3 wheels up a steepish driveway and ends up having trouble scraping and wheels spinning, so if your want the 9.5 it will have to sit medium height .

i think ill try 235/35 next time on front if possible, cause its right on the limits as it is, but just doable depending how low you go with the suspension.

I would say dont go 40 profile on the front , keep it 35 so that theres more clearance in the wheel arch and go less than 245 on front but you'll need them rolled on front still probably. then you'll have a full wheel arch and the widest that you can go and most aggressive offset too.

hey guys. pretty sure 18x9.5+20 will fit an R34 taxi with a roll a little camber and a little stretch. but would like to be adamant. can anyone confirm this?

dont want to buy the wrong sizes etc

thankscheers.gif

Help please?

Got two options for my 32 gts-t (coilies, front/rear camber arms, rolled guards):

1) 18x9.5 +22 all around

2) 18x9.5 +18 Front

18x10.5+18 Rear

Pretty sure first ones will fit with some camber, however, 2nd set I'm worried will be pushing it too far. Although, I do want something crazy. Opinions?

hey

i've got an r34 with work xt7 18x8.5 +32 and 18x9.5 +38

i don't think the rims suit the car so i'm looking at some xd9's and some others

anyway i'm pretty sure it should be ok but i thought i'd check i'm looking at going 18x9 +30 and 18x10+38, i should be able to get away with those sizes without any guard work?

they offsets it has now are good but i'd just like it to be that little but more flush with the guard

as you can see below it's not that low at the moment, i haven't had a chance to get around to playing with the height yet so i can lower the car as needed after getting the rims so it doesn't scrape on anything

yeah at the moment it's just not quite flush on both front and rear by the smallest amount, i can deal with it out a tiny bit on the rear, no 'moderfercation' required lol

Got anymore pics?

I went with similar spec wheels as your current ones, but +35 all round, should sit behind the guards a little (which is what I wanted, as I want to lower the car).

    • Intake manifold is not a part of the issue. The turbo bolts to the exhaust manifold. That is easy. But close your eyes and picture the physical situation. That is a T3 flange on the manifold and a T3 flange on the turbo. As long as any new turbo has a T3 flange on the exhaust housing, that exhaust housing will bolt to the exhaust manifold. This places the exhaust housing in the same place as the stock one. But now move your mental attention a little further forward. The location of the compressor housing is set by the length of the turbo's core. The stock turbo had a long core. Let's say that it is..... 100mm long. So that would place the compressor housing 100mm forward of the exhaust housing. But a highflow, might well have a centre core that is shorter. Let's say that it is only 70mm long. Now the compressor housing will be 30mm further back in the engine bay than the stock one. This DOES move the turbo's compressor outlet backwards. It also moves the compressor's inlet backwards. You will very likely have to do some work to both the inlet and outlet piping to make everything connect again. I am not say this to make it out to be a bigger deal than it is. I am just pointing out that "bolt on" is sometimes not quite bolt on. The highflow from GCG that Murray linked above (https://gcg.com.au/turbo-charger-upgrade-skyline-gtst-2iu-xtrgts-s1.html ) uses a core that is the same length as the stock core, and so does not require this extra work. It will look very much like the stock turbo. No-one uses GTR turbos of any flavour (stock, or aftermarket) in a single turbo application on RB20/25. It's not a thing. Yes, people have been putting on GT3076, GTX3076 (and bigger and smaller versions of those) and G30s (of various sizes) onto RB20/25 since forever. But these are not "bolt on". Everything except the 4 bolts to the exhaust manifold change with these. And genuine Garretts are expensive. Non-gen, like Pulsar, etc, are cheaper, variously as good or nearly as good. But still not bolt on. No-one in the right mind would pay for an HKS turbo. Not in this modern day and age. Well, yes, the GCG highflow. You could ask HG what he can do to make the compressor housing sit in the original location. There are surely others doing highflows around the world. And some of the eBay/Temu ones (as reported by Dose) work and don't die. Bit of a lottery though. I would send your turbo to GCG (here in Oz) to be highflowed if you want a trivial no-extra-work option. But seriously, the work required to change inlet and outlet piping is not that hard. That's a boost control problem, not a turbo problem.
    • Thank you all for the replys 🙂 I know that intake would be different but that is one pipe at it is not that hard to get(custom one). I meant mainly bolt to the stock manifold and the turbo elbow. I looked and many sites/forums but they are just "old" with some old HKS turbos from GT-R i guess? What about some Garrets?  Or any other turbo? Is there even a turbo which i can just bolt on? 😄 And yeah i know about that new HKS but that is like 2000k USD without taxes/shipping in here   Iam getting a touch up tune but my "problem" is that on the "not" hot day iam getting peaks around 0,9 bar...and when it was around 15 Celsious i saw peak around 1 bar which is just too much for stock turbo. And of course turbo is old and i like to get some new one for a piece of mind 🙂 
    • I'm working on the assumption that our friend Jasmine here is a Russian (or, possibly Ukrainian) spammer/spambot, based purely on the number of such that I have been having to neuter in the last few weeks. IP address for the OP above was in WA. But that could have been via VPN. Posting at quarter to 4 in the morning is a good sign of being from somewhere in Europe. The last Jasmine that I kicked in the cooch was IP addressed in Ukraine. Even that could have been via VPN, and the bitchbot could have been from Russia, Serbia, China or anywhere. Regardless, was a spambot, so I killed it with fire. The fact that our new friend Jasmine here did not respond in any way to my tart query strongly suggests to me that this OP was just the establishment phase of a user able to be activated for spamming in a week, or 3 or 10.
    • The stock manifold is "mostly" divided. The divider actually has a notch cut out of it where it would meet the divider on a twin scroll housing. I have no idea why. But whatever the reason, it would cause some cross talk when used with a twin scroll housing. People do put twin scroll housings onto that manifold. But I'm of the opinion that proper twin scroll internal gating is...not really possible at this scale. You'd be throwing good effort (ie $$) after bad, when you really should be doing something else. Notwithstanding that.... I am not sure what the idea that you are floating has to do with the difference in comp cover position caused by the highflow using a shorter length core than the stock Hitachi one. Can you clarify what you meant?
