Hey fellas, I did search, but failed to find the answer.

I have a 32 GTS-t with GTR front gaurds.

Rear gaurds are rolled.

Will R34 GTR wheels suit without major rubbing? Car is a tarmac rally thing so not overly stiff or low. Camber is only average, 2.5 front, 2 rear.

If they do, do you think they'll still fit with 265/35/18 rubber?

Am I correct in thinking R34 GTR wheels at +30mm?

Sorry for the nube question, I feel I used to know the answers but I'm getting old and definately drink far too much! :bunny:

i'm running 17x9+30 235/45/17 KU36's

-2 front, -1.2 rear

lightly rolled guards

345mm eyebrow all round

6kg front, 5kg rear

diameter will be 1mm less, width will be 30mm more.

you will be running more camber, and more of a rear guard roll than me, should be fine, fronts, should be fine, want me to check inner clearance for you? what height will you be running?

Troy might be your man.

My mechanic ran 34GTR rims, no issues on a 32GTR, so I assume with rear guard work and your front gtr guards you should be fine.

how come you are running 18's, and a 265 on a 9?

why not 33GTR rims with a 235?

Thank you kindly Ryan!

I actually have Troy's old WEDS 17" wheels on it now, but I can get velly chip 265/3518 Yoki A050's, hence the experiment.

If you can check inner clearence when you have a minute that'd be great! Heights on mine tend to vary, whether it's circuit racing or rallying, moves over a 25mm range.

My rear gaurds are only lipped, not rolled as such. I've emailed Troy to see what the "guru" has to say :bunny:

Thanks again!

They will fit fairly easily, even with that much tyre.

front will have a sunken battle ship look, rear will probably need a slight touch with a guard roller to clear the rubber.

My only concern on the front would be clearance to the suspension, but as there's so much room to play with due to the guards you could easily space them out.

I have 17x9 +25's with 235/45-17 re55's which sit square on the rim on the front of mine in this photo, heaps of clearance

Cheers Dave! If it does have inner clearance issue in the front I'll use a 20mm bolt on spacer. I used the same on my old 32 GTR on the front and found it turned in much nicer.

Just on the hunt for some 34 wheels now :)

Do you guys think it's a ceertain that they won't fit using the original gts front gaurds?

I'm running 245/40/17 on 33 GTR rims. Comes damn close to suspension (Less than 3mm). I won't go wider. 265's will almost definitely rub on the inside unless you run spacers and then pump guards (or fit GTR guards). If they do fit and then run the AO50's it'll be freiken awesome.

34 and 33 gtr wheels are +30. Only diff is 18 vs 17 inch. Tyre profile will make outside diameter similarish...

With gtr front guards you won't have a problem with outside. Only inside problems with 265's. Spacer would fix this if you're happy to run them.

Rears shoud be fine on inside, may need to pump the guards a bit to fit that rubber.

Heck, with cheap AO50 semi's it'll be worth a try and spacers to make em work!!!

From what Russ said only reason I am not as close to rubbing is either my camber or 235's...

Check your clearance with 235's. It's prob about 5-7mm away from the suspension arm. That's a decent gap.

Also camber will not change how close it is to that suspension arm. It follows the tilt of the wheel with camber coz the upper control arm adjustment for camber is above that.

wasn't sure what part of suspension you meant yours was close too, thanks for clarifying, profile will be pretty much the same, i checked on a tyre size calc.

^^ WTF are you smoking Roy? lol

Here they are, as yet with the GTR front gaurds fitted that I bought for it;

With rolled edges the rubbing is very minimal, only one side at the front needs a bit more of a roll. They look awesome. Track time next Sunday we'll know for certain.

    • If you are keeping the current calipers you need to keep the current disc as the spacing of the caliper determines the disc diameter. Have you trial fitted the GTS brakes fit on a GTSt hub or is this forward planning? There could be differences in caliper mount spacing, backing plate and even hub shape that could cause an issue.
    • Hi there I have a r33 gts with 4 stud small brakes, I'm going to convert to 5 stud but keep the small brakes, what size rotor would I need?
    • First up, I wouldn't use PID straight up for boost control. There's also other control techniques that can be implemented. And as I said, and you keep missing the point. It's not the ONE thing, it's the wrapping it up together with everything else in the one system that starts to unravel the problem. It's why there are people who can work in a certain field as a generalist, IE a IT person, and then there are specialists. IE, an SQL database specialist. Sure the IT person can build and run a database, and it'll work, however theyll likely never be as good as a specialist.   So, as said, it's not as simple as you're thinking. And yes, there's a limit to the number of everything's in MCUs, and they run out far to freaking fast when you're designing a complex system, which means you have to make compromises. Add to that, you'll have a limited team working on it, so fixing / tweaking some features means some features are a higher priority than others. Add to that, someone might fix a problem around a certain unrelated feature, and that change due to other complexities in the system design, can now cause a new, unforseen bug in something else.   The whole thing is, as said, sometimes split systems can work as good, and if not better. Plus when there's no need to spend $4k on an all in one solution, to meet the needs of a $200 system, maybe don't just spout off things others have said / you've read. There's a lot of misinformation on the internet, including in translated service manuals, and data sheets. Going and doing, so that you know, is better than stating something you read. Stating something that has been read, is about as useful as an engineering graduate, as all they know is what they've read. And trust me, nearly every engineering graduate is useless in the real world. And add to that, if you don't know this stuff, and just have an opinion, maybe accept what people with experience are telling you as information, and don't keep reciting the exact same thing over and over in response.
    • How complicated is PID boost control? To me it really doesn't seem that difficult. I'm not disputing the core assertion (specialization can be better than general purpose solutions), I'm just saying we're 30+ years removed from the days when transistor budgets were in the thousands and we had to hem and haw about whether there's enough ECC DRAM or enough clock cycles or the interrupt handler can respond fast enough to handle another task. I really struggle to see how a Greddy Profec or an HKS EVC7 or whatever else is somehow a far superior solution to what you get in a Haltech Nexus/Elite ECU. I don't see OEMs spending time on dedicated boost control modules in any car I've ever touched. Is there value to separating out a motor controller or engine controller vs an infotainment module? Of course, those are two completely different tasks with highly divergent requirements. The reason why I cite data sheets, service manuals, etc is because as you have clearly suggested I don't know what I'm doing, can't learn how to do anything correctly, and have never actually done anything myself. So when I do offer advice to people I like to use sources that are not just based off of taking my word for it and can be independently verified by others so it's not just my misinterpretation of a primary source.
    • That's awesome, well done! Love all these older Datsun / Nissans so rare now
