It's time to ditch the 19s, and a friend has some stock 350Z alloys lying around, so can anyone see any difficulties that may arise fitting them to an R34 GTT?

As far as I can work out, they are the multi-spoked 17x7.5in front, 17x8in rear variety, offset +30 and +33 respectively.

Thanks in adavnce.

Hi oblivo....as for 350z rims they are 18" and I think either 7.5 or 8" wide.

They fit a R34 gtt fine (seen in person)....also have a look thru the classified section as some guy was selling them and had picks of them on his gtt.

Thanks silva...I was under the impression that there was only one set of 350Z rims.

All the 06 350Z's run 18x8's.

On previous year models, the entry level Touring spec had 17" rims with the staggered sizes listed above. The Track and the Roadsters ran the 18's, and the RAYS optional wheels were the same size, but forged for extra lightness.

And to answer the original question, if they'll fit an S14 Silvia (which I have seen) I can't see any issues putting them on a Skyline.

Thanks for the comments and that pic.

I must say they do look great on that 34, and they are the exact style of rim, but I'm fairly condident the ones available to me are the 17in variety... oh well.

I'm hoping they will make a dramatic improvement in weight over my concrete-blocks-with-rubber 19s. See how it goes.

If the rims are 17", then they're not that style. The 17" 350Z rims look like this.

Hi there, sorry to hijack your thread,

But I can get 18" 350z rims from a freind who is about to buy one, and i wanted to know if they will fit a r33 4 door. I have no idea on the dimensions apart from 18", If anyone could help I would be greatful.

Cheers :thumbsup:

almost, they did fit right up on my skyline, but under acceleration they do scrape on the rear guards, and yes you need the guards rolled on a 32 to make them fit...

    • Hows your intake piping? Are you still running stock? Having in the stock AFM position would mean, if the BOV was shut/venting out, it'd create the almost stalling kind of effect right // "the rich pulse behaviour" due to MAF thinking air is flowing ? But this would be better than having the bov in the stock position + MAF on/just before cross over piping right?
    • Essentially, yes. Although I wouldn't put the AFM on the crossover pipe. I'd want to put it into what amounts to the correct size tube, which is more easily done in the intercooler pipework. I bought a mount tube for card stile AFM that replaces the stock AFM - although being a cheap AliExpress knockoff, it had not flange and I had to make and weld my own. But it is the same length and diameter as the stock RB AFM, goes on my airbox, etc etc. I don't have a sick enough rig to warrant anything different, and the swap will take 5 minutes (when I finally get around to it and the injectors & the dyno tune).
    • So to summarise, the best thing to do is to move recirc to between turbo and IC, and maf on the crossover pipe. Meaning I'd need a recirc flange, drill a hole in the piping on turbo outlet area. And drill hole on crossover to fit/weld maf sensor? Either that or put the MAF on the turbo inlet right?  Is an aftermarket recirc/blowoff valve recommended? Do currently have family in Japan so could probably bring something back with maybe a cheeky lil SuperAutobacs run?
    • Yep, so far most have said that it looks like corrosion on the wall from piston not moving. Which then has probably damaged the oil rings and caused those vertical marks. The longest the engine was still after the rebuild, was the winter of 2018 - 2019, plus the boat trip to Japan. When I shipped the car, it had normal gas in the tank but before that winter pause, it had E85 in tank.  In any case, even if either one of those was the cause, it happened close to 6 years ago and the car has been driven something like 30 000kms after the fact. Again, apart from the plugs and the dip stick, there is nothing in the way the car runs that would indicate what has been going on in the engine. I am going to consult a shop and ask their opinion, what would be the best approach. I do have some access to a garage I could use to diagnose further myself, but time is very restrictive. Might end up buying another engine that could be used while this one is being remedied. Without pulling the head, it will be impossible to find out if it needs another bore, but here's to hoping a hone would suffice.  Goddamnit, I would really have preferred this not happening.  
    • Boot is going to be replaced eventually. I just wire brushed what I could and rust converted. Then painted in rust kill primer. the spoiler also got repainted and plugs replaced on the ends. The under side of the bonnet is going to be black also, currently white. But red on the top side, same colour code as the silo to begin.
