Hello,

If i was to get 18x8 wheels on a r34 skyline.

Would it be best to get 18x8 all round or different on the front?

Thanks

Brendan

The GTR (and the GTS4) needs to have the same size wheels/tyres all round otherwise you can run into problems with the ATTESSA torque split system.

For the GTT, there's no problem having different sizes from and rear. Standards are 17x7.5 +40. Most people go with 8 or 8.5 up front and 9 to 9.5 at the rear.

would it be ok to put 18x9's on the back and 18X8's on the front?

So long as you get the right offset, and your car is too low (and I mean low!) then you probably wont have any trouble.

To give you an idea of what they'll look like check out this site - owner has an R34 GTT with 18x8 and 18x9 enkei's...

I notice he hasn't lowered it at all.  I wonder what difference that would make...

If you are talking about the blue GTT in the link I posted above, then he has lowered the car. In his specs he lists Nismo G Attack S tune suspension setup and goes on in his review how he's disappointed with the drop in ride height with them. I don't know if the pics were taken before or after the new suspension, but either way it seems the Nismo S tune suspension is not ideal if you want real low down looks...

By the way they are  18" rims

Mind if I ask what offsets you're running?

I've been thinking of going for similar sizes for my R34, but my main concerns are getting the correct offsets, avoid any rubbing of the fenders (or having to roll the arches) and not having major tramlining problems...

I am not sure my son is the expert I will be seeing him over the weekend I will ask him.He tends to order things for my car I just have to pay for them :) .I think he is getting it ready for himself. :bs!:

I know the wheels are the ROH Drift wheels.

I will post over the weekend for you.

There is heaps of space between the guards will never rub.

    • No. The ECU's hose is for a connetcion between the plenum (assuming single throttle body, not ITBs) and the ECU's internal MAP sensor. This is the primary load measurement of the ECU - so you need to get this one right. This has NOTHING to do with the boost contol. The wastegate also needs to see a boost signal - but it is actually far better for it NOT TO COME FROM THE PLENUM (again, assuming single TB, and not ITBs). This should come from the turbo's compressor housing (assuming there is a nipple on there, which there might well not be), or on the boost pipe somewhere between the turbo and the TB. On the pipe from the turbo to the intercooler is usually most convenient. The boost controller is then located between that boost source and the wastegate, ACCORDING TO THE CORRECT PLUMBING DRAWING FOR THAT BOOST CONTROLLER. There is no general diagram or instruction that will be correct for every case. Then the other ports on the plenum are for purposes such as Duncan described. If the boost controller has an internal MAP sensor, for a boost display, etc, then it will want to be hooked up there, alongside the ECU and the FPR.
    • Ok gotcha, so one post to fpr  another to bov  and I have the mishimoto boost controller and a link g4+ so I’d just have the tuner set it up properly. For the last two from plenum post throttle to  ecu/ boost controller, I know that I have a hose coming from the ecu that I was confused about so I assume that’s what connect to the boost controller from the ecu? And then the last is just from plenum to boost controller then to wastegate?
    • From there, it was just a quick electrical check, prime the oil and start her up Which, is not what happened. 1. Bloody seppo Aeropro battery holder. Not only was it too tall for the battery (which I'll forgive them for, I have another battery the same nominal size that is taller than Neil's one, but the bracket is a fixed height so the battery was spaced up) But the thing that really shits me is the hardware to hold it on requires a 7/32 Hex key. WTF. No-one will ever be able to remove or install the damn thing without a hex key they don't own 2. Kill switch no longer worked once the console was installed. Neil mentioned above he had to adjust the length but it no longer cleared the console once installed. Sorted. 3. Suspiciously, the brake light holders were hanging in the boot with no globes. Sure enough the stopper on the brake pedal was missing so they are always on unless the kill switch is activated. Will pick one up tomorrow (turns out 32 and 33 don't use the same stopper) 4. All that sorted, I turned on the kill switch, turned the key to ACC. Nothing. Turned it to IGN. Nothing. Checked some fuses and found the main IGN in the boot was missing which improved things once it was replaced. Now ECU and dash lights turn on with IGN but still no fuel pump. 5. Turned it to Start....ECU on, no fuel pump, no starter. Plus the voltage dropped straight to 9v.  I suspect the starter is f**ked but am going to have to work through it all and see what is happening, really looks like more than one issue. Does anyone have the R33 fuse box key with the circuit it sources from (eg BAT, ACC, IGN, SRT etc) and supplies? I can find a translated list showing Amps and circuit without supply circuit, and I can find supply circuit without Amps and target circuit.
    • 3rd time lucky, the AAC is now all plumbed up after getting some final fittings All set up under the plenum of maximum access
