hi there,

im from NZ and happened to come across your site and find it really interesting that you all know this much stuff. Now im a noob at this but im looking at dropping my 98 R34 with King lows and putting a set of 19" Eurohart C Form from Racing Hart on it. they are 9 on the back with 275x35.19" tyres and 8 on the front with 235x35.19".....you guys know ur stuff so do u think this would be ok? any problems that i may find, im in the process of doing it up now it has a C West wing at the mo and when i get the wheels and springs i think i will then look later on at maybe a bomex body kit.

What do you think?

btw: you guys have harsh rules but man your rides are phat :)

are you sure 19" could fit? over the weekend i had to do a suspension check since petrolium jelly started to ooze out of the front right suspension arm joint..eek :rofl: however since the wheel was off ithought i might try and see if the old supra 20" rims would fit, stud pattern is the same however the wheel would of never have fit with the nissan suspension strut coming out and over the wheel with only about an inch clearence with the old stock 17" wheel. I beleived that 18" was as high as you could go......am i wrong?

It doesn't like going over 1 bar because the stock turbo should not be boosting anywhere near that level. It is absolutely at its maximum efficiency at 12psi. You should lower the boost to 12psi and you will find you will make the same power, smoother and no more boost/fuel cuts.

Hey RyanN yeah, they seemed aiight to me, i had them on this morning but not lowered and it seemed to be ok, the guy at the mag shop hasn't said it wouldn't work with that set up, he was the one that suggested it so i hope it will be fine :rant: else i will have to look at some 18's if i must cause i want it lower...but couldn't i just take that plastic stuff thats inside the wheels arches out aswell or is it best left on?

as for your advice on boost NJR thanx man, it seems to like it at 12 so i think ill leave it there, with my new wheels on anyway i doubt im gonna want to burn much rubber hahaha

i got a pic with them on for u 2 look at and give me an opinion if you like on what you reckon....the 3rd pic is sumthing i put on to see if bling was the thing, so let me know if u like them

      Forced Performance Hta Turbos

      Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.

      Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.

      Yeeeppp, been following a lot of the testing on the latest Xona stuff and there are some mental results.  He also went over 1000hp @ 4 hubs on his Mainline with a XRE6364S (63mm) which was also well into the 20psi range before 4000rpm on a 2.5. Crazy stuff. Fwiw the XRE5964S is basically the modern equivalent of their old HTA3582 - would drive nicely enough on an RB25 or 26, but proven capable of a huge amount of power if you want to spicy with rpm tho even at sane boost levels will make stout numbers

      R33 GTST Axles

      The axels in my R33 seem tired, and have a bit of play in them. I cannot find any new of course, not interested in buying used, but I am looking to see if anyone can identify some cross compatible axles. In the states I have seen suggested for S chassis the J30 axles, however for the skyline (as best I can tell) the lengths are about an inch off (2.5cm) on both sides. R33 my measure L 22" R 24.5" GPT L 22.5" 24.25" J30 L 23.5" 25.5"  so shaft length is probably an inch wider. Not sure if someone has another still remanufactured option besides the J30. I figured worst case I can buy a pair tear them down and swap the center shaft. My other option was reaching out to GSP to see if they cannot piece together a set, since the axle stubs are still manufactured, I wouldn't think it be that hard to find a shaft or make a shaft work.
