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

    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful
