damn - and i had those quad t51's in mind too! yeah, im trying to get a quote off them, atm famous is looking like the way to go, and they will only insure "legal mods". trust me, if the insurance co's didnt care about the mods, i wouldnt have started this thread... i guess il just have to wait til ig et it back and check the rims out-not to hopeful about the situation though... thanks everyone for the help

ok, so the rta site says (and im going from memory here, so dont quote me) that any increase up to 25 mm ie an inch over standard is okay, based on the largest standard rimfitted to the car - does anyone know how big 33 gtsts rims were - ie were any available out of the factory bigger than the standard ones?

Assuming you wanna go to the trouble, you do have the option of getting the wheels engineered... This comes in where you may wanna keep the wheels you have, but they're beyond what the RTA may reasonably allow without you formally notifying them of the changes.

yeah-i read that, but didnt understand wat it meant. id love to keep my current rims, as i like the look and the size does have its obvious advantages (who said size isnt everything). id like to get the car as a whole engineered at some stage when it is justified - does any1 no where this can be done?

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

      OK, solid mount Z1 diff brace is in, pretty straightforward, it picks up 3 diff hat bolts and ties them to 2 support bolts on the subframe. Pretty sure someone else on here said they had reduced axle tramp with this but mine was already pretty good for smooth wheelspin, and still is....will see you this goes over time and whether I end up with a broken rear diff hat

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Ah yes, but the part in my hand was actually painted and fitted by me! I knew any front lip was likely to be sacrificial but I've had to fix it twice already... by the time I buy a fibreglass fixing kit, sort out sandpaper blocks, buy some fibreglass filler, body bog, spend the time and effort for a 'Greg' result... a new one being $290 seems like it's the better way to go and spray that with bedliner/raptor coat and we're all pretty again.. Would have preferred it last more than a month though. Them's the breaks I suppose.

      I find it funny that the USA is finding out all this really really weird stuff, and people from the USA are coming here treating it like gospel, yet, all the info on solving those issues is here on these forums for the last 15 odd years... Also, I know how much heat it takes to ignite the hood lining of an R33 skyline. I worked it out myself... It also took a LOT of time, and heat for it to do it... Big single, and I needed to drive the car, so retarded the timing off to "protect it". Yeah, that was a bad move for cruising on a freeway with only 15 degrees of timing on it. That was a lesson I learned around 2009. So that's over 15 odd years ago. Aligning water and oil, that's identical for any turbo engine, it's not Japanese specific. If a shop doesn't know how to make sure the core is rotated the right way, then they shouldn't be touching any turbo engine. That's not a matter of "We haven't had Skylines for that long here"...

      Sounds like it is rotational in the driveline. CV? Tailshaft CB? Also.....didn't you just pay to have that bit painted and put on the car?

      R34 GTT idle problem

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yeah, when I dialled my idle down, given how much time I spent idling at the lights in traffic on my daily commute, the effect on overall fuel consumption was absolutely noticeable.
