17's are standard on R34s, so 18" is definitely no problems. FYI you will have a tyre placard sticker in your drivers side door-well for next time (if you don't have one Regency will fail you purely on this fact).

im lost aswell lol track is adjusting the hub, i always thought the width of the rim wouldnt metter its only when you change the hub(s13 coilover conversion to a r31)

Can someone help me because im very lost

i think what they are trying to say is that with wider rims, it increases the width from outside to tire to outside of opposite tire. i think?

that sucks dude, but like everyone has said just return the car back to stock form other then the fmic and pod.

tyer placard would be on the car somewhere and you should have showed him, besides, cops have books with all that info init. should have told him to get off his ass and look it up.

DONT try and pass with a PFC computer, not worth the hassle and your car will be fine running the standard ecu.

coilover will deffently NOT pass. dont use aftermarket sus at all as they will be very picking on it and if they dont know much about the brand they will ask you to change to stock.

also, even though your rims are legal. i never take the chance for them to do me for some load rate reason or something stupid like that. stockies are always the best bet or a set of 17's that arent as wide.

marky at ET can do a rental exhaust system for you or spot weld a silencer and remove it after for a small fee if your not to confident on DB limit.

i always like to take no chances with regency though so its up to you, im realy fussy about it.

might see you at regency dude, im defected aswell :) and sorry for the noval haha

didnt they recently update the rim inch so u can have whatever size you want aslong as its not sticking outside the guard.

i swear i read something somewhere. need to go searching

doesnt sound right. people would be going around with 22ichx8 wheels everywhere. ?

anyone know bout the front strut brace ? should be ok.

will the car have to be re tuned etc if I rip the powerFC out. Is it a straight swap ?

i think he means only width wise, still the same 2 inch rule for height

The PFC will hold the tune, it's written to the ROM on the board... just switch them over and then switch them back... not a drama :)

nice.

howmuch for a standard ECU. ? should be too much? would be cool to borrow one somewhere, but if they are cheap enough might as well get one for future dramas/.

      braided lines for the turbos

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      Thanks for the reply @GTSBoy Haven't really thought of that yet, but you are right. If the hose was damaged it should be absolutely pissing by now. I'll put some heat sleeve around it for good measure since I'm already removing the line anyway.  Maybe I'll put on some of the stock hardlines if I ever fully remove the turbos again. Maybe when T51R modding the compressor housings? Might be a fun mod on GT28s for that "fake single turbo" effect.

      Unpeeling the Orange

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      Update 1: I did some work on the car already before finalizing this post and my "issues" list. I dropped the Tomei exhaust in favor of the HKS Hi Power Silent. Sounds nice and I can actually hear myself think now. Also gives me a realistic chance to legally drive without silencer inserts. A bit of cheating was necessary to still be able to mount the Top Secret style diffuser. Some malusage of washers and a bit of "convincing" toward the brackets and exhaust hanger seemed to do the trick. The shaky steering wheel has been resolved as various suspension components were worn, like sway bar bushings and link bars. Most notably the two steering tie rod ends. Had some trouble finding bushings because my sway bars are not OEM thickness, 23.x up front and 27 rear. But non adjustable, so no aftermarket I suppose. Maybe they are nismo units? Turbo oil drain hoses were definitely still the originals and are new now. Wasn't the cause of the turbo oil leak sadly. Currently removing the rear turbo because of it, I suspect the braided oil feed line is the culprit. This issue needs to be dealt with so I can work towards actually getting the turbo setup legal and inspected. Two new issues to add to the list as well. Rear Main seal is probably leaking. Time will show how bad it is, I don't really want to drop the gearbox right now just for the stupid seal. Could fix a few other things in one go once I do that. Front right driveshaft grease is going past the cv boot, so at some point I'll fix that too.

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      Ok so no 4cyl clutch... Yeah it is a factory manual. So if iam correct i need clutch and flywheel too? I can use something that suits something like R32 GTST?   EDIT: https://www.ebay.com/itm/224291042776 Is this ok?   EDIT2: i maybe forget to mention this(dk how important it is) but the trans will be behind RB25DET NEO(iam doing swap) It will be there for a little while. Iam planing to do bigbox or BMW tranny..

      You're probably right about that one. Thanks for your suggestions, I hope I don't need a new 3rd brake light. Although wiring issues might arguably be worse. Right now I'm in the midst of a turbo removal because of my oil leak, other problems are going to have to wait for now.

      Hell, I know that much. So far I just put it off as "part of the deal".
