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??

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.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      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

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      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.
