this is bad advice! Not to mention these are illegal

Because slamming your car and having rims poking 10mm outside the guard isn't.

Hub centralising spacers are fine for daily use - if he told me he was tracking it I would have said no.

clearly you have no idea what is good and bad when it comes to suspension/wheels but im not going to get into an E fight with you...FYI i bolded that section of your quoted text for a reason!

let me know when you have some experience in suspension

How would fitting xxr002 16x8 +0 go for a r32 gtst coupe with 205/50 tyres? I'm wondering how brake clearance would be and if spacers would be needed. I have a guard roller and adjustable camber arms.

brake clearance shouldnt be an issue.....pretty agressive wheels tho! pics when fitted

he's got you there damo... you said illegal, which having rims out of your guards is :P

Won't fit over the front calipers. Knew itd be an issue but was being hopeful lol, time to buy spacers

Thought they would have fit easy, i have 15x10's on my 33 and they fit no problem

Chaps,

After reading through 115 pages of this thread, I have a bit better of an idea of what sized wheels I should be looking at, but this question is more R34 GTT specific.

I'd like to run

18 x 9 +20 Front (235/40)

18 x 10 + 12 Rear (245/40)

I currently only have Blitz ZZ-R coilovers fitted, but open to comments about what other kind of suspension components needed to run this setup.

Cheers,

Shazza

no issues with the coilovers there. Will need to lip the guards on the rear but the fronts will be no issues. would help if you had rear upper adjustable camber arms but shoud be able to squeeze them in without too much hassles

Hi Frosty,

Thanks for the quick reply. I intend on getting a set of rear camber arms, and front eccentric camber adjustable bolts for adjustment regardless.

Would a 255/40 fit on the 10" wheel on the rear, without much issues?

Shazza

255 is a big tyre you would want to run a smaller tyre unless you go mexican and run camber but then defeats the purpose anyway. if you look at my signature the one on the right is a R32 with 18x9.5 +12 all round with 235/40 an the GTT is roughly 15mm wider each side in the rear

not at all and only if its more than 25mm ;)

The wheel and tyre must be contained within the body work or mudguards (including any flares) when the

wheels are in the straight ahead position.

    • This is the clearest explanation out of those: Page 77: Turn the crankshaft clockwise two full rotations with the tensioner pulley installation bolt in a loose condition. Insert a wrench into the tensioner pulley hexagonal hole to fix the tensioner pulley in place, then tighten the installation bolts. Tightening torque: 43–58 N·m (4.4–5.9 kg·m). The timing belt tension should be at the correct tension. Basically you turn the engine with the tensioner bolt loose, then use the allen key to hold it while you torque it up. And yes after that a good guide is being able to twist it 90o in one of the long free lengths of the belt
    • good choice....I have a set of those and use them all the time including on this job. Plus, no-one wants a damaged nipple
    • Thanks all, went with nismo strengthened belt and all genuine nissan idler and tensioner Question on RB25DET Neo Timing Tensioner: I have a question about the RB25DET Neo timing tensioner. In one of the videos (minute 20 of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=17y37BB9xnA and minute 27 of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pb99s2E9xUg), the process suggests tightening the tensioner pulley installation bolt to the specified torque initially, and then loosening it slightly to allow the spring to set the correct tension. Is this the correct approach? The R33 workshop manual on page 74 states: Loosen the tension pulley installation nuts. Insert the wrench into the tensioner pulley hexagonal hole and turn it clockwise to tighten the installation nut temporarily. The way this is written is confusing. Does this mean: Undo the nut, then reduce the tension by turning clockwise? Snug the nut so it stays in position without applying tension to the belt while removing the timing belt? The manual wording makes it sound like the nut will tighten automatically when you turn the tensioner clockwise , which is unclear to me.   Timing Belt Tension Adjustment Process: After loosening the tensioner nut, you turn the engine two full rotations by hand, which should set the correct tension. Once the tension is set, you tighten the bolt to 43 N·m (4.4 kg·m). Before tightening, you need to insert the Allen key into the hexagonal hole to hold the pulley in place while tightening the bolt. In one of the videos, it’s mentioned that you should twist the belt side to side, or turn it slightly to check if the tension is correct. The belt should turn halfway, indicating the right tension. However, I know that twisting or turning the belt is not a good idea. What are your thoughts on this? Finally, how can I ensure the belt isn’t overtightened? I’ve seen many cases where people have overtightened the timing belt.   Manual Excerpts: Page 74: Loosen the tension pulley installation nuts. Insert the wrench into the tensioner pulley hexagonal hole and turn it clockwise to tighten the installation nut temporarily. Remove the timing belt from each pulley. Page 77: Turn the crankshaft clockwise two full rotations with the tensioner pulley installation bolt in a loose condition. Insert a wrench into the tensioner pulley hexagonal hole to fix the tensioner pulley in place, then tighten the installation bolts. Tightening torque: 43–58 N·m (4.4–5.9 kg·m). The timing belt tension should be at the correct tension.
    • Takes a few minutes to malke one. Wood, or steel, or a wrap strap with some strategically placed solids to provide teh drive onto the ribs.
    • I would strongly suggest using the correct tool. They are not expensive and make the job much easier and don't damage the lock ring. Google "fuel tank lock ring removal tool" to see what I'm talking about.
