Sydney roads are f*cked. For one of the "best cities in the world" they should really improve the road system. I didn't realise how f**ked it was until I got coil-overs and set the dampening to the softest setting and still bounced all over...

i wouldnt list Sydney that highly.......

as for the dampening thing. i thought the same thing.....soft settings = soft ride.

seems i was wrong, on soft the bounces seem to continue on. ive got mine wound about half way to hard on the front. and a few notches less on the rear and it became alot more drivable on my crappy ass main road.

XXR 527's for a r34 gtt

18x9.75 +20 or 18x8.75 +20?

Which would be the better flush fitment (aggressive but not a ton of camber)?

Guards will be rolled and lipped btw

18x9.75+20 will poke fronts, inset rears. Won't need camber, will only scrub on full lock.

So would it be better to run 18x8.75 + 20 up front then? Or would that be too flush/not very good stance?

I am about to buy 18x9.5+22 fronts. The way I see it, I don't full lock often. I am looking for form>function. But yeah, if you go the 8.75, you will be 12mm LESS poke. Depends if you want it to look good, or be functional. But I would go wider on the rears or think about bolt on spacers if you want some flush. I am going 18x10.5+30 rears, I don't think that is poke enough, but I haven't bolted them on to see, I am going off a mates car that has 18x9.5+20 all round and his rears are inset.

Does anyone know how

9.5 +22 (front)

10.5 +30 (rear)

Will sit on a gtt?

Too aggresive or nahh?

If you took any sort of time to actually read this thread, you will realize that I am doing that exact fitment. I wish people would actually read the thread before posting. I went through 95 pages of this thread before I asked any questions. Took me a few hours, but at least I know what I am talking about now. Anyone can tell you it will fit, but you want to get the fitment that YOU want, not what other people say will look good.

Either way. With that fitment, you will NEED the guards rolled, front and back. With no camber, you will poke fronts, and hopefully poke rears. Only by about 5mm, but poke none the less. Run stretched tyres, and lower the car onto them, and you will get some nice stance. I have a black gtt, going varrstoen 2.2.1 (te37 copy) rims. 225/30/18 fronts, 245/35/18 rears. You will get scrubbing on full lock on the plastic lining inside the front arches. If you don't have coil overs, get them.

That is 18x9.5+20 all round. With that fitment we are wanting, fronts will be inset 2mm, rears will poke 3mm more.

I have ordered my rims already and I plan to have them on in 2 weeks on my R&R week (I am up on site for 2 weeks). Pics will be up immediately. If you want to wait until then to see the fitment, and judge for yourself.

Alrightty, cheers mate, yeh i just could not be bothered going through all the effort!

but thanks heaps for the reply, i'll be looking forward to you posting up pictures soon!

With that set up it sounds like a lot of aggressiveness, me likey!

Anyone have this problem? I've got a R33 GTS-t with R33 GT-R wheels on it. 17x9 +30 all round.

Seems like on 'near' full lock the wheel smashes into the suspension arm.

Luckily at the same time, I spotted the bracket holding the brake about to fall off, quickly bolted that back up!

    • The fab work can be as simple as a couple of silicon hoses and clamps to the factory piping. 
    • Just sounds like either way you need to do some fab work to get everything to fit, so why limit yourself at that point? If the GCG high flow option is zero effort in and out swap though I'd probably do that. It's almost certainly lowest risk, lowest cost, etc. The HKS GTIII-RS option that Kapr mentioned is laughably expensive for what it is, they charge the exact same for two turbos on the RB26 so their margins are off the charts on that thing.
    • 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.
