has anyone fitted R33 GTR rims to an R34 GTR??? How would they sit in the gaurds???

Chasing some 17's so I can get an bit of tyre flex on the strip, can anyone suggest any 33gtr altenitives ???

Today I fitted my brand new enkei 18x9.5+12 with new advan 245/45/18, and on the left front wheel it scrapes with the rear of the arch when turning slowly? am I going have to get new tires with smaller profiles???

you could:

  • live with it
  • roll guards
  • camber
  • buy smaller profiled tyres
  • raise it

personally I'd buy some 235/40/18's

It only catches the side skirts front connection plate that comes into the wheel arch..... so annoying, I removed it becasue it was pulling it off tearing the plastic. Rarrrrrrh

the guard liner?

if you are hitting that it's a good idea to lip the guards just enough so they dont catch the tyre ever and tear the guard in half

(like blags lol)

not the guard liner, on my r32 gtr the front of the side skirt actually comes around into the wheel arch and theres 2 screws,

Was thinking that but am unsure what + I need. Think it is around +20 to sit nicely in the guards of a 34 GTR

im so happy with these matte black rpfs, and for unsprung weight reasons aswell, there super light, only 7kgs!!!!! Forged BBS LMS which are forged are 12kgs in the same size!

bend and remove.... bend and remove ;)

I'm thinking of a set of matte black RPF01 in 18 x 9.5 +12 for the evo

Hey guys,

Was looking at getting some: Rota GRIDR 18 x 9.5, 5x114.3, +20 Absolute Green

To put on my '99 R34 GTT, It's currently lowered with stocks wheels still on it, doesn't have a camber kit as far as I'm aware. Anyone know how hard/easy it will be to get these to fit? Camber kit or rolling guards should be fine? Or just spend the money now and get a camber kit right away.

Cheers, Zac

Those rims will fit but you will need to roll guards n do some liner work.

Otherwise it all also depends on how much camber you do end up running as well as tyre size.

As far as camber kits go, they are only needed to reduce camber after lowering the car (essentially you can have heaps of camber from the stock arms if ur car is lowered, it is getting less than 1-1.5 degrees that is the problem once it is lowered). Obviously this isnt going to help the rims fitting as taking camber out puts the tyres closer to the wheel arch that is the limiting factor in actually fitting big rims with lower offset.

Any suggestion for tyre size? Its daily driven for now. So pretty much i'd just be looking at rolling the guards abit and giving it abit more camber, i love camber but don't want huge amounts as its daily driven,

stretch is against my religion. But a 235 should see you right.

Otherwise camber is also a bad thing in a street driven daily unless you dont mind paying the $ that it costs in how much quicker you chew ur tyres out because of said camber.. but around 1 degree on the rear should see the rims n tyres fitting as well as minimal tyre wear from it.

    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
    • When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?
    • Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.
    • If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
