Hi guys, I went from stock R34 GTR wheels 18x9 +30 to Volks 19x9.5 +12.

Width increase is fine < 1 inch.

Rolling diameter with the tyres I have is fine: almost the same as stock set up.

Track increase however is >25mm due to the offset which technically is a "Defect" in NSW.

Anyone been done for "Track" ONLY??

Whats the chances of me getting done for this seeings as everything else is sweet??

The reason I ask is that Im trying to decide wether to keep or sell my stock R34 GTR wheels and tyres which are just sitting around doing nothing. Should I keep them incase I get done for "Track"

In SA, TransportSA specifies that the maximum track for a 1998+ R34 GTR is

1506 front and 1516 rear.

That prob isn't much help to you, but might be worth ringing up and asking.

providing they are not sticking out past the edge of the guard lip it would be extremely unlucky to get pinned for it.

Back wheels are fine, front are pretty close to guards. See picture, OK do you rekon??

maybe put a bit more negative camber on the front to pull the top of the rim in a bit :D

nice ride

I'm Sorry...

Why put in a bit more negative and upset a perfectly good wheel alignment in the hope that it will tuck the rim inside the guard.

Why upset the handling, possibly making the vehicle horrible to drive and trash a perfectly good set of expensive tyres??

And I don't believe that lowering the car by 10mm will effect the camber by that much. It will alter it but I don't believe it will be obviously noticeable to the naked eye.

      Belt flex under throttle

      By drifter17a · Posted

      Hi all, I’ve just finished fitting the timing belt on my RB25, following the standard procedure: rotate the crank twice, release the tensioner, then tighten it down. The belt feels tight, and you can see that clearly in the picture below I’ve heard some people say it’s actually better for the belt to be slightly loose rather than too tight, as excessive tension can lead to snapping. So that’s in the back of my mind. What I’m seeing is this:  • At idle, the belt looks fine.  • But when cranking and especially when revving (around 3–4,000 RPM), there’s a momentary flap/flex or flicker in the belt, which I’ve tried to capture in the video. So my question is — based on what you see, is this slight belt movement something you’d consider normal, or am I just being OCD? Could this amount of movement cause sync issues? Or is it just a harmless bit of flex under load?   from what I know belt flap and flex is expected when crank spins up and pull cam with it Would appreciate any thoughts or similar experiences.     IMG_7656.mov IMG_7657.mov

      R34 Gtt Wheel Offset Advice

      By EddieR34GT-X · Posted

      I've replaced the front brakes of my NA to 324 brembos and 350z calipers: i'm going for 225/40-18 up front and 245/35-18 in the back. I have Rays 7.5*19 ET35(225/35) in the front with 5mm spacers otherwise the calipers "lock up/ won't rotate". When i use the calculator i come up with 8*18 ET30 for 225/40...... but not sure i get problems with the calipers. Anyone riding around with 18 inch. that can confirm "that it'll fit"? In the back it's 7.5*9 ET30 (245/30) with the 5mm spacers, but there is no problem with the standard small brakes, so i want to take 8.5*18 ET25 (245/35).

      Glad to hear. If possible, get your tuner to check air's to make sure everything is still where it should be.

      The problem with FB/Insta/Reddit etc comments relating to cars is simple. You get to ask a question once, and get one round of replies. For things that can actually be answered in a few lines of text, once, it's fine. After 6 hours, your original question is lost to the void. There are no follow ups, additional questions, anything. No project car is ever such a simple list of questions to ask. You need discussion.
