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 ;)

pic?

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, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
