Hi all.

I have a set of 18" RAYS / Nismo LMGT2 3 piece wheels that came off an R33 GTR and another set that came off an R34 GTR. Question is, are they a direct bolt-on for a V35 Skyline GT coupe? I do not have the offsets in front of me (and I am not an expert on them anyway) but I hope the vehicle's they came off will give someone in the know a clue if they will fit. The exact wheels are in the pics attached.

Thanks in advance.

Out.

It all depends on the offsets.

I've seen GTR offsets in the low teens. Something like this may not fit unless you do some serious guard rolling.

Being 18" the diameter will more than likely be fine, as I've seen V35's go to 11inch wide without too much drama.

The offset is really your only issue. If they are in the low 20's, high teens then you may be right. As an example a +22 offset is almost perfect for a V35.

Yeah, without offsets it'd be impossible to call.

They look a little sunken in on that R34 so its definitely possible, but I wouldn't stake my guards on it.

You can run an 18x9.5 +22 and 18x10.5 +22 on our cars without rolling the guards.

If you're willing to do some mods to the car (front and rear camber adjustment equipment, rolling the guards) you can fit aftermarket R34 GT-R rims onto our cars. There's a guy in the US running 18x10.5 +15 rims all round on his 350Z with 275 width tyres, with guard rolling and lots of camber.

Unfortunately he's taken his pics down from that thread (and other threads don't show it), but I remember that it did look retarded on the front since the tyres stick out with the amount of camber being run. An OK look if you're building a race car, but it looks a bit ghetto on a street car.

I will say that they will fit for sure. They look to be the same or more sunken than standard R34 GTR rims which are 18x9 +30. I have seen 19x9.5 +17 and 19x10.5 +18 on both V35 and R34 GTR (same rims that we tried on) and the rears were flush with 275/35/19 tyres and the front we still a little sunken in but not as much as in your pics.

      Has anyone put in brand new full carpet? (not floor mats)

      Unfortunately haven’t taken pics yet after it was finished. All the edges are hemmed nicely, just had to cut holes for the gear shifter and seat bolts and seat belt bolts in the rear. The molds seem like they’re done with steam and a layer of glue on the underside to hold a bit of shape but still soft enough that it’s a good fit when it’s all pressed down.

      I was very unimpressed with how the car came up from the A pillar forward, before I hit things (twice). It all has to go. It had to go, but now it has to go... more. So we finally found the very first Shennanigans with the entirely perfectly setup engine that had no problems being pulled apart to improve on 'was perfectly fine'. Cam bearings looked a bit... stock. Which isn't entirely bad given they were stock and this is a ~20 year old engine. So new cam bearings are on the way because it's somewhat difficult to get to this stage to do it later, and it will trash the block. It was quite unusual that it wasn't done when the perfectly new-looking VCM cam was originally installed by [unknown] What IS unusual is the cam that was installed there was advanced SIX degrees. As to why there is no way to know.. however it could have been @Dose Pipe Sutututu's mate who wanted a larger cam sound but also wanted it to come on earlier to be more usable. This is my dyno sheet with the previous setup - This cam is not supposed to peak until 7000+ RPM, according to VCM. This is what lead me down the whole 'my heads/intake setup is running out of puff and can't support the cam' line of thinking to begin with. Anyway too late now - New cam is in! It could be rather funny if this smaller cam acts like a larger cam because it isn't advanced six degrees. In the spirit of everything is working amazingly - the COMP cam required no dialling in whatsoever. It was about 0.5 degrees advanced, which seems pretty bang on. Any adjustment either way would be further out. I'm told as a chain breaks in it ends up regarding back about 0.5 a degree as the chain breaks in, making it bang on. In the spirit of everything was previously working amazingly - The timing gear that was taken out turned out to be was an N-Motion double timing chain kit, with adjustable cam gear (which is how it was 6 degrees advanced) and all looks entirely perfectly new. It also had a Torrington bearing, which was one of the reasons I ended up getting the Cloyes kit which they used in the C5R 24 hour racecar - Because I couldn't confirm what was in the engine when talking to Tony Mamo. I did believe however it was a Double chain kit of some kind... but found no supporting documentation or evidence for it.

      I recently did this to my R33 with the full set from Car Mats Direct, they can't do the vinyl anymore that's advertised on the website due to a supplier issue so I ended up with the Black Loop Pile which looks great. I went all out with rubber sound deadening sheets from Repco and also added the sound deadening foam layer option with the carpet. Makes a world of difference and got rid of all the weird smells in the 29 year old interior. It was a bit of work but I'd 100% recommend it, Car Mats Direct had awesome customer service and quick postage. Replaced my seats with some sporty ones from Autotechnia while I was at it, feels like a new car.
