First of all, please forgive my ignorance. I am new to this site and found it to be a great Forum and has great people!

Can a 18x9.5 +30 wheel fit onto my R34 GTT seriesII? My car is stock with standard wheels and suspension. I am looking at changing my wheels to one of the BEE-R/Nismo LM types. (also similiar to the Drift Tek Wheels I've seen so far, but Drift Tek only comes in 17s at this stage is my understanding). Any photo's from anyone with these type of design wheels in a GTT?

With this settings, will I have any clearance/rubbing problems? even with full turns? I am planing on fitting 235x40xR18 rubber in the front and 265x35xR18 rubber at the rears. I also plan to fit some coil over suspension when I upgrade the wheels.

Lastly, has anyone heard about Rota wheels and where to get them in (Victoria) or Australia?

On a separate note, I have a set of Brembo calipers but not sure if I can use them. They are brand new Brembo Calipers made for BF Ford Falcon premium brakes setup thus, I was told that i have to fabricate some sort of bracket to suit Nissan. I am however, not sure of disc thickness requirements for this calliper as well. I have checked out DBA specs and found that Nissan and Ford has minimal difference in thickness for replacement rotor/disc. Any brake experts in here?

As for fmic, anyone know of brand(s) of front mount intercooler kits that utilises the factory plumbing? Reason is i don't want to cut any holes, or cut any body works to fit the fmic.

Thank you all in advance! Keep it coming! Cheers,Michael

Hi Micheal,

Welcome to SAU

Those wheels will fit fine. Why don't you go for the 265 all round? This will be much better for you as you can rotate tyres, wheels and whatever else.

The Brembos may or may not fit. You'd have to compare them to a set from a GTR.

Check out www.nismo.com.au and have a look at the GTS-T braking section. they have caliper repositioning kits which look the goodness. I wish I have a set, put it that way.

As for the Front mount, the HKS kits use the standard piping on the passenger side, you wont have to cut holes in the body, but with most kits you will need to trim the fron bar a fair bit.

:O

If you are in Melbourne, you could come and check mine out if you like.

Cheers

Pete

Nah, Plenty of guys have 265 all round.

Adzmax, GTTR34 and a few others.

Ask them for their offsets and you'll be fine.

If I was to get 18s, I would be getting 265 all round. In Buddy Club PII.

Cos they are the sexiest wheels on the planet. Lots of DISH BABY

Thanks for your response guys. Appreciate it. Yes. I am in Melbourne, can you kindly provide me (PM) your contact info? I would be delighted to come around to have a look at your car & setup.

Buddy Club PII? what wheel is that? Any pictures i can get off any websites?

I understand that the BLITZ R34 intercooler has a plumb-back system as well (seen the picture on AutoBahn n/Blitz website).

I have also heard that the Apexi FMIC does that as well, but I have not seen the actual setup till date.

These brands could be rather expensive though...

Anyone heard of ROTA brand wheels? Do you know where I can get them? Cheers, Michael

      Need AC Compressor for R32

      By Zabuza · Posted

      Ok glad you clarified on the frenchy’s options , I was worried about if my oem hoses would fit the new compressor or not if I just bought the bracket/compressor kit ,  didn’t realize they also sold a larger full conversion kit. Hmm may just go oem in that case then to make it easy only because I plan to sell this car to upgrade to a 32 GTR or 34 GTT.

      Right, here's a video of the basic operation at least.  This is what you can expect day to day when you turn the car on and it boots from standby.  The only thing from a media point of view I haven't gotten working is for it to autoplay plexamp when it turns on from standby (it works from cold boot) but that's more of a plexamp problem as it will autoplay other music players.  Also attached is my one stray cable.  It's part of the screen's wiring adapters but there's just nowhere for it to go in my car.  I've just now done a bit of research and found a matching port on a 2010-2014 head unit with BOSE.  Mine has no BOSE so that's that case pretty much closed I think.  Plugging in the Infiniti AC panel basically did nothing for me, so that's a dead end as well.  Next port of call is to mess with this CANBUS module and see what I can find from it.  I found this resource containing the DBC files for a 2010+ G37 : https://github.com/icecube45/Dash_InfinitiG37/blob/master/InfinitiG37.dbc I'll now have something to go from when I try to extract my CANBUS data so I can see if the HVAC Mode, Fan Speed, Temperature, etc. match and also the gear shifter position.  It's a pretty big assumption that it's just mismatched CAN signals but considering all the devices in the CAN network are talking to each other (AC can be fully adjusted just with no info on screen) it might be a safe one.  I will report back WhatsApp Video 2025-02-26 at 12.49.10.mp4

      Thanks for that Paul.  Do you think if I posted a picture you'd be able to remember where it went?

      Sorry Duncan, I didn't get a notification for the replies.  Thanks for responding!  It's a full Android device, but does allow you to use CarPlay/AA as well.  This is the one I bought from NaviRS on AliExpress: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006368602668.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.111.59aa1802JDzQ0E - the 2K 8G-256G CAM variant but it seems to have gone up by £170 since I bought it!  My purchase was ￡307.14.   It's not the fastest thing in the world but performs perfectly adequately.  It stays on standby unless I disconnect the battery and let it power down, then it's just a fairly standard Android bootup time from cold.  The DSP Equaliser is very nice and made the standard stereo system sound pretty decent compared to the stock screen.  Perhaps I can take a video of it when I get a sec. It *allegedly* supports the reverse camera, but I'm yet to get that working.  It has options for reverse cam (a camera unit can be bought separately) or 360 cameras (also bought separately).  To be fair it doesn't seem to detect that the shifter was put into reverse but I'm working on a theory about this as well.  At the moment I'm going without which is a bit annoying considering the car is an absolute canal barge but so far I haven't caused any damage I'll grab a picture of the wire I'm missing later today when I can get outside.  My theory, by the by, is that not only is the head unit different, but the CANBUS network has different signals for the different years.  I think this because I have a spare AC panel from a newer Infiniti G37 (as opposed to my Nissan panel) which wouldn't control anything except the volume when I had it wired up with the stock system.  I'm going to throw it back in and see if the screen will respond to it.  I've just ordered an arduino CANBUS module so I can have a look at the signals going around the car and see if I can spot anything.  I'm thinking if I can work out what it's expecting vs what it's getting I might be able to translate and relay the signal back but so far just a theory anyway. I also found this on my travels, so far the only one that specifically matches my car: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002822934280.html?spm=a2g0s.imconversation.0.0.33433e5fgttovi If you look at the picture of the before, it has the card reader slot, and the picture of the head unit is exactly the same as the one pictured in my original post.  I asked if they sell the cables separately but sadly they won't.  I didn't want to just buy this one because it's a super old Android version and only dual core - likely slow as hell.

      As above, you did refill the coolant and burp the system before running it again didn't you?
