I don't really get the tempetyres?!?! but I don't plan to invest lot of money on that car. Especially not on rims, no go on brand like Volk Racing...

But I'm going to get something like that:

110232070_full.jpg

( TE replica ) with some Yokohama S.Drive :)

I do plan to hit the track, so far I'm set on 18 x 9.0 + 30 allaround

But waiting for the car before deciding on anything, should pick it up my R33 tomorrow. :D

I had Yokohama S-Drive all round on my R33, and have gone to Potenza RE001. The Bridgestones are a far better tire. Depends on the cost and what you want to spend of course though :D

Of course the Potenza RE001 will be far superior :P .

But like I said, it will be just for cruising around and go to work ;)

While on topic, any one running 18x9 +25 on the rear? How does it sit, any gaurd work needed? 18x9 +30 fit GTST's no problem (stock GTR wheels), so +25 should still be fine right?

will be fine it will be exactly 5mm further out the the 18x9 +30 so just work off your knowledge of how that looked and add 5 mm :D

and pls dont buy copy rims im all for cheap wheels but slapping cheap look alikes is lame its like wearing 4 stripe tracksuit pants.. everyone knows your a tightass.

atm it has 18 x 8.5 +30 w 235/40/18 nitto NT05 and 18 x 9.5 +30 w 245/40/18 nitto NT05

but in a week or 2 it will be the same rims in 18 x 9.5 +25 all round with the same tyres

cops pulled up over on an sau mt buller overnight cruise, was a top bloke.

Small update, since I can't find the right type of rims or size I want (without spending to much on brand name)

I end up on DTM/Diezel Drift, they look ok.

size will be:

17x9.0 +35 front

17x10 +35 Rear

hope it will fit fine.

It will fit but it will hit the top arm on close to lock and at track or hard cornering it may rub on the guard...

Clean up the top arm a tad to prevent it hitting and pump front guard a tad...

    • The R32 suffers from an instrument binnacle that is uncomfortably close to the design of a VN Commodore's. But beyond that, the layout of the rest of everything, and the materials (ie the vinyl coverings on dash, armrest, etc) are acceptable, and the patterns on the fabrics are not as blergh as those in the R33. And R33 seats are....quite unattractive. I know it's only small details there, but I reckon the R33 got worse than the 32. But the big blergh is the overall shape of the dash on the R33. It's just has that whole Maxima/Pulsar sort of look to it. Nothing special at all. Generic Nissan sedan. Whereas, at least the R32 dash/binnacle was different. Less a wide expanse of boringly curved plastic. More a "cockpit" sort of look, even if nowhere near to the degree that the A90 Supras got. R34 seats look good on their own, until you realise that they are indistinguishable from the shape and fabric on 70 other Japanese cars. And the foam bolsters on them suffer even worse than the earlier cars. Other than that I don't really have an opinion the rest of the R34 interior. I took the bits of the R34 I wanted (brakes and engine) and added them to the best external appearance Skyline in the modern era (the 32). So nyerr!
    • Can I be your first customer? I would like hard lines done for the fuel system, 8AN up and 8AN back and the underside wire wheeled and coated (brush or sprayed) with that black tar shit.
    • Speak for yourself, I love the R33 interior. 32 is blergh. I like the 34 interior too. Then you start getting much newer in most cars and they all turn back to blergh. 馃槢
    • 500-600hp into a RB is already 'sinking endless amounts of money' into an engine. Especially a 30 year old engine. Unfortunately this is the RB Game. Considering stock power (or at least stock components) will do ~360whp on 98 by simply turning up the boost on the stock gear on a RB26, that would be where I'd say the cutoff point for "sinking endless amounts of money into the engine" Cause to even do this reliably you'd probably need to replace all the bits anyway cause they're old, starting your sinking journey anyway. I reckon the least painful way is rebuilding the engine to make 50hp over stock lol. The 'plan your ownership around a rebuild' was a common saying 15 years ago.
