need to get some feed back on what people think about the situation im in tomorow, im selling a set of 18x10in wheels tomorrow for another set of 18in rims, but i got word today for the same price as the 18in wheels im going to buy tomorrow i can get a set of 19x8 all round. with 255/30/19 rubbers. now the problem is i think i want to get the 19s but when i spoke to the guy at the tyre place im buying my wheels, he wants to do me a package on 20in wheels for a couple of hudred dollars more then the 19s.

now im stuck thinking should i get the 19s with 255's or get the 20s with 235 rubber.

i get wheel spin with 255s and am worried that the 20s wont have enough traction for my car.

looking for some feedback on what people would choose so i know when i get there tomorrow what wheels to choose.

ive spoken to alot of ppl about the 20s i have for my car

they have 245s on em atm

eveyone has told me to get them widened and put 285s

you would only be able to do this if yours rims are 3 peice though

i think 235s are too small so go the 19s unless the 20s are 3 peice

the 255's are on the 19s and 235's are on the 20s, i dont think they are 3 peice but ill find out tomorrow, i think the better option is to get 20s for show and a seperate set of 16s with slicks on for the creek

GTR's require dish.

To late for a refund? :P

gtrs do look good with a deep dish, but unfortunaly in 20s you cant get a really deep dish wheel. will take some pics and see how i go, if it doesnt look good, will have to buy another set of 20s that have at least a little dish if not a big one

wreckedhead, those 20" wheels are pretty much rice wheels since they have 235 rubber. They are more show than go. I'd say stick with your old rims, or go the 19s. If you wanna go 20, get something decent. I'd say with at least 255 or 265 rubber. Also, keep in mind that you get what you pay for. 20s for cheap? must be poor quality and really heavy. Something typical of tempetyres wheels, cheap and nasty.

actually the rubber is 245, which is standard on r34 gtr's, and you cant fit anything bigger under the normal gtr gaurds as im about 3mm from scraping metal. also i like your comment about you get what you paid for, there might be a differnce between my cheap and your cheap.

but just so you know they arnt heavy and they a tempe tyre special wheel.

with my 20s atm they are 245 and everyone i have spoke to have told me i can fit 285 and that i shouldnt go any smaller

these guys are speaking from experience as well so its not guess work you just need the right offset

im getting new outers made for my rims to push them out to 285 on the rear ill probably stay 245 on the front

heres a pic of my rims ;)

      Troubleshooting - motor wont turn over

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      I have seen a case where the starter motor shorting against the casing caused a massive voltage drop + so much EMI that it caused all the sensors to spew garbage data at the ECU. Test the battery to make sure it has acceptable CCA/capacity first, I have gotten "brand new" batteries before that couldn't even power a 10W light bulb without dying probably because it sat in a warehouse too long without being charged. Only easy way to diagnose this 100% is put an oscilloscope on the battery and also look at key sensors to see if there's any clues.

      Baron's R34 GT-R build thread - car in Japan for 5 years -_-

      There's a bunch of smaller shops that don't quite attract Singer money but are still hiring from that same pool of labor. Those are the body shops that you go to when you can't afford a Singer, but your old Porsche needs some serious bodywork. You can't exactly take those cars to the usual insurance body shops. When I say restomod, I mean they'll do something other than 100% OEM/OEM-equivalent aftermarket parts R&R. In the Porsche world this would be stuff like taking a 50k 964, doing a bunch of deferred maintenance/unwinding the nightmares the previous owners did to the car because a lot of people that own these cars tended to be penny wise, pound foolish types, then maybe some relatively simple off the shelf modifications to things like suspension, transmission, engine, headlights, etc. and you've spent 130k USD. When even the worst houses in the poor neighborhoods are worth 1M USD and the nice houses in wealthy neighborhoods are worth 3-10M USD suddenly 130k spent on a 50k car seems cheap.

      Troubleshooting - motor wont turn over

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      Hoping to get a few ideas to help troubleshoot this issue, I'll try to keep it short.  A mate popped the motor in his 2018 LDV T60 with the 2.8 turbo diesel motor. He swapped it and I was his phone a friend when he got stuck.  The new motor is in, however it won't fire. The battery is literally brand new, when you crank it the volts very quickly (say 2 seconds of cranking) drop to 8 volts and the engine stops turning over. Watching the belts, I'd say they move about 5cm before coming to a stop. We put a booster pack on, no change.  The only potential issue I'm aware of is, when we pulled the motor the grounding strap was still attached. The strap copped a thrashing before we realised what was going on. It looks okay-ish but it's going to be replaced to rule it out.  The main challenge is, I wasn't there for 90% of the work. This is his first time doing any major work on a car and he was learning as he was going. He thinks everything has been put back together properly, however I'm not entirely confident that this is the case.  It would be good to get some ideas about what else to check. The car isn't spitting any codes so that doesn't help.  I've attached a photo, because why not lol.

      Did anyone here buy the crashed N1 R32 GTR at auction?

      By funkymonkey · Posted

      I mean an N1 came with a minimal paint thickness compared to dealer models. It’s probably had a ton of vinyls and stuff possible a race paintjob or two over the years. you don’t buy an N1 for its stunning good looks or comfort 🤣 you buy it to send it and measure how much air you can get on the hill at Bathurst
