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

    • It turns out that Setrab make a fan specifically for the oil cooler which is great and I've installed it with minimal swearing. I removed my 2x 12in push fans from the front of my aircon condenser and wired them into this. My main thermo fans kick on when I use the aircon anyway and would effectively already be working as puller fans through the condensor which is infront of the rad. The push fans (understandably) didn't really do much in the config they were previously in so now they're out. Now we're on to the "Oil fan doesn't really do much either!". Yes I'll duct it next if it does nothing in heavy use which it shouldn't. But hey, the object exists and fits great and is cool. Let me have this. The car is still in the "do my fittings leak oil now? do my wheels actually rub?" phase. I did a spirited drive on them and didn't hear or feel anything. Then I got back home and noticed there were grind marks on the inside of the rims, though I couldn't see where they were touching I got out the grinder and attacked the suspects. Note: I do not know how to use a grinder. Then I realised I had dragged my new rims across my concrete driveway before I did this drive. I didn't think I had damage at that time when I briefly looked...... but remembered this occurred after I did all the angle grinding. The grinding on the wheels in some very specific spots. It's not around the whole rim for example, which lines up with dragging it across concrete more than hitting a suspension component for even 1 full rotation. So everything is currently painted and taped up and I need to test it some more to see if it really IS rubbing, but from inside the car it doesn't feel like it is. In other news I attempted to do a before and after comparison of the heads/cam upgrade thing. Dynos lie, everything is in different measurements. Here is the data from the sandown back straight. Car go faster than before. Vroom vroom.
    • Here's my base ignition. +3 correction to redline when shooting water/meth which is always on. Looking at my old ignition table, I should be able to add 1-2 degree's next time I'm on the dyno.  Let me know your thoughts. 
    • Given what I know now - same haha, but this was 12 years ago with second hand 740cc Nismo injectors in my S15 daily, I was too busy hunting elsewhere for the issue to even look at the injectors, running through some cleaner was a happy coincidence haha
    • Not a terrible idea. But if I ever had concerns that my injectors were sufficiently dirty to be causing me a problem, they would be out of the engine and onto the actual injector cleaner/testing bench.
    • Run some injector cleaner through it I had a similar issue that plagued me for months, even tried replacing the cat. If one or more injectors are blocked up the ecu sees ping so pulls timing and makes the tune rich overall, you'll see black smoke coming out of the exhaust and like me assume it's running rich but it could only be one or two cylinders  $10 bottle of injector cleaner and the next time I hit boost it pumped out a huge plume of black smoke, cleared the blockage and then ran great, if that's not the issue it's only a cheap thing to try haha
