its amusing to see how scared Skyline owners are of fitting decent rims..... the ns boys cant get enough.

Yeh i hear ya Trent, wheels need to be sticking out to Fcuk well camber and even spacers, Pitty i just bought wheels, Oh well..... Good luck with the sale! :uh-huh:

different width front and rear on a gtr affects the attessea - spelling. if only they would fit on a gtst without much lipping/roling or guards.

Actually - the above is wrong.

ATTESSA takes input from front and rear wheel speed. This in turn relates to rolling diameter. It is therefore possible to use these rims by having different profile tires to ensure equal rolling diameter front and rear.

Personally I prefer to have the same width of rim and tyre to achieve this, but each to their own I suppose.

I do believe the width isn't such a problem, Its when you stagger 17" on front and 18" on da rear then the profile of tyre on top, and i'm pretty sure its all about the diffs being level. So therefore its all about the circunfrence of each wheel(tyre included) If they are the same then SHE no worry, In my eyes width is all good to be different, alsong as you account for the tyre profile.

would probably best consider widebody on a gts-t.

12's with 13mm offset will stick out rear guards on 32gts-t by a good 6cm or so. should be ok clearing coilovers though.

check out http://toy4two.home.mindspring.com/offset.html for wheel-offset calculator to compare your current rims with these

man, these rims are pimp! suprised they haven't been sold yet

good luck with the sale trent,

(lol @ skyline owners are scared of decent rims!)

who cares? ;)

DUDE you should care! being the face of AUTOBARN!!! If no one on here wants your wheels, maybe they are just not as HARDCORE :freak: as you, which reminds me havent seen you slide for a while...........(what happend?)

i dont see what the differnce is if you have 265/35/18 on the front and 285/35/18 on the rear they are still the same profile hight 35 so same rolling diamater, correct me anyone if im wrong.

the profile is not an exact sidewall height, as tyres get wider in same profile the sidewall gets higher also iirc (its one way or the other), even though would make an unnoticable difference to the speedo the attessa still picks it up.

Thats my understanding of it anyway

The profile is shown as a percentage of the width.

    • -9s are discontinued supposedly. But you can still get Nismo R3 turbos which are something like a -7 but subtly different? -7s are also available. HKS GTIII-SS and GTIII-2530 are also available but they're journal bearing MHI turbos.
    • Late to this party but here is your go to shop in perth - https://www.facebook.com/gsautoworksau GTSBOY is on the money cost wise, drive in and out will cost you 15-30k or more.    Some items that will save you money  - plug in link ecu g4x is much cheaper than haltech.   -Pulsar turbo, seem to be "OK" now, never used one myself You really don't have to build the motor, E85, headgasket, studs and a good RB26 will live for ever.    Swapping over the twins won't save much as you still need ecu, tune, fuel system etc.          
    • Welcome back to the scene! Godzilla Motorsports were well regarded back in the day.  My GT-R had work done there prior to my ownership.   SRS (Street Race Solutions) in Toowoomba worth a look.  They've built some pretty wild Skylines. Their YouTube channel is comedic to watch!  I'm sure they're all on the glass BBQ but they get shit done! 🤣
    • Hard to say what the extra connector is, it looks a bit like a coax type connector, so possibly a separate radio/GPS antenna, or even another camera input?  The V37 series (including the Q50), did go through a model refresh in 2020, since Australia didn't get any Q50s newer than 2019, we didn't get any of the refreshed models, so there could also be other unexpected problems to overcome to swap an older Q50 head unit into a new model V37. There probably aren't too many people around that have made these sorts of changes to a Q50/V37, so you might end up being the first if you do decide to go ahead. ACP is Apple Car Play and AA is Android Auto, they are roughly the same thing for the 2 major phone operating systems (Apple's iOS and Android), it allows you to connect your phone and access a number of your phone applications on your car system.  With Nav apps included, so you could use google maps/Waze or whatever your favourite navigation app is, instead of using the built in navi system.  I think this would be a better solution if it is only Navigation that you are looking as swapping the head unit for. GPS signals are the same around the globe as the GPS satellites continuously circle the globe, but it is the head unit that doesn't allow you to load Australian maps, or at least no-one had made an Australian map that will load up on the JDM head unit. Regarding the TV standards, I assume you are referring to the AV inputs?  I haven't ever tried to use them, Japan used a slightly modified version of the US NTSC system, and Australia uses PAL for composite video, that said, I wouldn't be surprised if a video input could work with either system.  That is mostly irrelevant here though, unless you plan to use those inputs for something?
    • If you've got bucket loads of $. Go single. If not, just upgrade the twins, Garrett -9's or whatever the current equivalent is for a healthy 350awkw and leave it at that. Will probably still cost you 10k to do in this day and age.
