R32 gtst 2 door

Advan RG2's 18x9 +29 all round.

235/40 Sumitomo's (minimal stretch)

Suspension lowered to minimum legal height ( pretty high )

Front guards untouched, rears slightly rolled but wouldn't need to be.

Rims sit flush with guards, perfect fitment.attachicon.gifimage.jpg

I hate you. I was watching these on eBay and had offered him cash when he told me they were sold. Dude had them on his Evo yes? They look great!

Edit: If you ever decide to sell - me first!

Thank you to everyone within this thread that answered my questions and provided info, and ultimately helped me select my new wheels (width and offset) Here's the end result (minus big brake kit awa

Thought I'd share my setup since there doesn't seem to be much info/examples out there for this particular setup. Perfect for spirited driving on back/mountain roads, not so ideal for daily driving or

Opinion time. Deep dish rims for an r34 gtt. 18 inch or 19 inch (the rims look smaller with big dish)

18's would require pretty low ride height to achieve stance.

Going to be running 10-10.5 width at the front, and 10.5-11 at the rears.

Tyre size = 225/40/18

Lowered= yes, on king lows/bilsteins. not slammed.

Camber = whatever is possible with the stock eccentric bolts and arms. Not interested in mega camber.

Should be fine. Keep in mind rolling guards done properly will have no negative impact at all

Skyline model = 1996 R33 GTST

Wheel Brand = Volk TE37

Wheel diameter = 17"

Wheel width = 9"

Wheel offset = +22

Tyre size = 235/45/17

Modifications to fit = None (front wheels lightly nudge front bar at full lock, otherwise fine)

Hi mate,

Just wondering if you managed to do anything to fix this?? Was it much of an issue?? Looking at doing exactly the same for mine =)

Cheers!!!

Hi everyone!

Car: 1998 R33 GTST

Wheel brand: BBS LM replicas

Wheel diameter: 19"

Wheel width: 8.5 F, 9.5R

Offset: +20

Mods to fit: Fronts needed a 3mm spacer(spokes rubbed on the NISSAN writing)

Rears sit outta the guards still, the guards have bee rolled I think. Is there a way I can somehow "pull" the rear guards out by a couple of mm so they fit??

Going to be running 10-10.5 width at the front, and 10.5-11 at the rears.

The only problem with running those sorts of widths on the fronts on a gtt is the lack of guard. I had 9.5+22, and I had to remove the front liners for scrapage problems - and they sat completely flush with the guards. Now the issue here is, with a wider tyre, and non mexican spec, you will need a large offset, which you can't do as it will eat your suspension. I can't remember how much clearance I had with mine on, but I don't think there is much room for movement.

To get 10.5 to fit up front you will need something like +10 offset, 245/40 or less tyres, pumping guards, big camber, etc. Cause it will look mexican as fark with no camber.

Rears are 10.5+22 with natural camber and they sit nicely on the guard.

Rears shouldn't be out of the guards on those specs are u stock height? What size tyre?

Tyres are 265 35 19's

Car has tein coilovers, so it's lowered but not to excess....

Guards have been rolled a little(stuff all) but I can see where the tyres have scrubbed the guards on occasion :/

I will try and post photos(not working for some reason)

265 is a big tyre drop down a size still well within legal and should fix the problem I think

I have gtr front fenders, and the rears are pumped and rolled +40mm.

Currently running 18x9.5 +15 all round.

Depenging on how much extra poke you want will depend the offset obviously.

I would go 18's, because of the possible slammage. 19's fit the wheel guard better, but also limit how low you can go.

Anyway 10.5+27 is essentially the same fit as what you have now, so depending how wide you want to go. I am not familiar with GTR fenders, but I believe they are around 20mm wider than GTT.. How wrong am I? Based off 20mm wider, I would go 10.5+15, which is 13mm more poke then what you have now.

On the rears... 40mm pump. Oh this is going to be sexy.

You could go 18x12+0? Or 18x11-12. The 11's are going to give dish all day, all week, probably most of next month.

Needs pictures.

      You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      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.

      R32 gtr transmission strength, billet plate

      By cosline · Posted

      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

      Spotted on the street....

      By Rezz · Posted

      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.
