How much did they miss the rear fit by, Were the fronts OK?
Great looking rim, very well taken care of, with plenty of thread left.

Test fitted one rear to my 33 GTST, unfortunately they stuck out the gaurd by at least 5mm. So the rear gaurds need to be flared to fit a 33 gtst. But damn did they look sweet :) .

Good luck with the sale Matt, disappointed they didn't fit my car.

He didn't try the fronts, but they should fit fine. The fronts are the same offset as standard r34 GTR wheels.

They will "fit" a 32 GTR, but the offsets are in between Gts-t and GTR offsets...

Front wheels are Face 1 high pad which is designed to clear GTR brembo's, also clears my F50 brembo kit no probs

Rear wheels are Face 2, looks tuff :P

Odd that they didn't fit an R33, they have a wider body. When I had my R33 I used 20mm bolt on spacers to push the wheels out to the edge of the guard, when I got my R34 the 20mm spacers where to much & I couldn't use them.

Great wheels by the way! Would look good on my silver R34. Just trying to talk my Finacial manager (wife) in to it!

Still for sale. Let me know if you want to check them out. It's not that they didn't fit, Al's just being weak. They stuck out 5mm on his r33... big deal :cheers: Fill the R34 guards nicely.

So these will require lip rolling on a GTT? Even if my ride height is just lower then stock by about 15mm? How much would this cost?

If it's not lowered much, it wont be a problem, but if you have soft suspension or the car will be lowered more then yes, slight rolling of the inner lip of the wheels at the rear more than the front, but best to do both.

If you're in Melbourne I know someone who does it for around $150 all 4 corners.

Is this the process where they have to heat up the guards so the paint doesn't crack when you roll it?
Paint will always crack when you roll it.

I paid $330 to get all 4 of mine done by the people that do top show cars etc, and paint still cracked.

Nothing weak about it Matt :rolleyes: . With a $6k paint job, i didn't feel like a 10mm flare and repaint :( (I did say "AT LEAST 5mm" on a R33 gts-t)

    • I’m doing some side developments on SR20det S13 engines, its one my hobby cars used it to compare flow capacity of some smaller size wheels. SR20det is one of another JDM legendary engines I'm sure there are plenty of SR enthusiasts on this forum, I will share results some common turbo configurations here. a quick run down of what the car is: Wide body 180sx Type X with black top engine (blue). It has: Stock bottom end Haltech 1500 ECU 5-0 motorsports trigger kit Kelford SR20DET Beehive Spring with Titanium Retainers Kelford Cams SR20DET S13 188-B 268/272 Cams G25-660 Turbocharger in T2 .64 rear housing internally gated ARP Head studs MLS head gasket 1000CC ID injectors Walbro 450L Fuel pump Front mount cooler kit JJR’s 3 inches turbo back exhaust (its too short for the 180sx it had to be extended) Pump 98 fuel Hub Dyno tune So far made 270rwkws at 22psi full boost by 4500RPM. Engine is very knock limited hence a pretty bad looking top end. From previous experiences it seems like SR20dets are happier with bigger size turbine, some thing like a GT30 would make way better top end, but on same time response is lost. It won't be a problem with S15 VCT engines. I'll be testing alternative turbine housing, turbine wheel and possibly dump pipe options for extra flow to resolve the problem and of course E85 would resolve all the issues.            
    • Awesome writeup and details. Thanks for sharing the story so far. I can relate to parts of it with my previous car and some of the issues I had to deal with.
    • Wow the colour matched hard top completely transforms the car. Are there any nice front lip options for the car or is that off the table?
    • Generally yes but for some reason I've been ruthless this time around!  I might even need to do another tip run after the way I've finally been able to hit the delete button on shit I've stepped over, stepped around and tripped over for the past 10 years!
    • I just quote the Rolling Stones. Paint it black.
