fronts will be flush, rears will have some poke.

nothing that cant be overcome with rolling though

fronts will need guard liners removed

both will require minor stretch

Found a cheap but nice set of rims to put on my 89 gtst 4 door skyline

SQUARE Wheels G6 Model

17x9 +15 5x114.3

18x9.5 +12 5x114.3

I would love to fit the 18's but I am just wondering if I will have much problems making those fit. I dont mind rolling just dont wanna get into the pulling etc. WHATS YOUR THOUGHTTS?

to be brutal...

it's an 89 gtst, not an '09 R35... just pull the guards

Just a quick one joeyjoejoe, when you had the 9.5 +22/+20s up front, did you just roll guards, or did you have to flare the guards slightly & ditch the liners too?

I had 9.5+12 on the fronts, but I removed the liners and pulled the guards a few years ago when I had 9.5+25's

once the front guards of a 33 are rolled properly you can just heat them up and push and pull them to where you want as they are fairly thin.

lol...

the initial roll was with a heat gun and guard roller.

but with subsequent sets of rims I have used a pipe, a baseball bat, the yellow pages and a jack, my bare hands and of course the guard roller. just depends on what's needed

basically the fronts are weak enough to be pushed in and out to suit. the rears dont go back in once they are done...

just be careful with the fronts and remember to check the panel alignment along the front door line and check the bonnet alignment BEFORE you open or close it

Going from the pics of yours when you had similar wheel dimensions to that, and had the greddy coilovers with good ride height (IMO), did big bumps ever make it bottom out wheel inside the wheel arch/liner at all? IE could your suspension have been any softer for that ride height or was that minimum stiffness? I've got softer suspension (SK bilstein/whiteline ones) and I wonder if I could get away with going lower.

I ran it on the hardest setting with 6/8's

front liners were removed and wiring loom relocated (just all pulled through and tucked up above the metal)

it scrubbed a tiny bit but nothing noticable

yeah fine...

daileyed it for like 4 years with those coilovers

i mean it's not "soft" and "comfortable" but really nothing that bothered me in the slightest

Do r34 gtr's accomodate wider rims at the front than a gtt with gtr front guards?

Just curious as this is how my 18x9.5 +15 CST's sit with 255/35's420643_10151201993838039_216824609_n.jpg

Not a very good angle, but this is the only shot I have at hand

very nice you finally got it done. The front GTR gueards are wider about 20mm more than the GTT.your wheels are sitting quite flush good fitment choice.

Hey guys,

Looking at a set of Rota Grids for my R33 GTS-T series 2 which is marginally lower than stock on coilovers (due to where I live/work I have to go up the occasional kerb and don't want to leave my exhaust behind so not going lower yet)

There is two sizes I'm considering and was wondering which would look/fit better without camber adjustment or guard modification.

Front 18x8.5 +25

Rear 18x9.5 +20

Or

Front 17x9 +12

Rear 17x9.5 +12

Won't go bigger than 18s as I already have back breaking, rock hard suspension on the stock 16s and roads here are somewhat crap. Also, tyre wise, I want to keep standard rolling diameter and don't want to stretch tyre, any suggestions?

If anyone has fit these sizes before, some pictures would be awesome.

Thanks

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
