I would go adjustable arms all round. I went bushes and maxed them all out. Cannot get less than 1.7 degrees rear, nor more than 2.6 front. These numbers is general aren't to bad, but it would be nice to have further adjustment.

Thank you to everyone within this thread that answered my questions and provided info, and ultimately helped me select my new wheels (width and offset) Here's the end result (minus big brake kit awa

Thought I'd share my setup since there doesn't seem to be much info/examples out there for this particular setup. Perfect for spirited driving on back/mountain roads, not so ideal for daily driving or

Hey guys I have a question.

At the moment I have 20x10 inch rims on the rear of my r33 gtst.

I have asked to order a set of 20x9 cause the 10's are to wide.

I was wondering what offset I will need for the 9's ?

Wow, I have driven a 34 with 20's, it was terrible! Too firm, scrubbed and scraped... I assume its a show car right?

Nah it's my daily car.

I wanted 19's but apparently I couldn't get them so I got 20's instead

Fair enough mate! I am sure the offset gurus will be in here soon enough! I am useless :P Just shocked to see 20x10's lol

Yeah I wanted 19x8 for the front and 19x9.5 for the rear.

But they couldn't get the an said they can get a staggered set of 20's.

But they didn't tell me how wide there going to be

You got pics? Just out of curiosity?

I don't know the offset to the 20x10's I don't know how to work it out but the rim sticks out past the guard and the cops are picking on me for it so I want to put some 20x9's on the rear and want to run a 255/30r20 tyre

After some info for fitment of Varrstoen 2.2.1 on a R34 4 door - 9.5" version.

Best I can find so far seems to be - +30 with a 235/30/18, it won't hit the guard at all and it won't have poke. Ideally you'd want 9" +25 front with 235/40 (v little stretch) and 10" +35 rear (with 265/30/18). Or 9" +25 front and rear.

This pic here - http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/index.php?app=core&module=attach&section=attach&attach_rel_module=post&attach_id=396593

Don't know the specs on this, but I want to get it close to flush, but not sitting outside the guards at all.

Being a daily, I want to keep it as legal as possible while looking the way I want it too.

I've email Varrstoen, with no reply. I'm running 18x8 or 8.5 at the front now and they scrub when turning around a bumpy corner, but not at all during normal driving. The front guards have been rolled slightly by the previous owner, but nothing too extreme, no guard lining at all.

I've seen how R34 GTR rims sit, they are 18x8 +30 from memory? Looking for that sort of fit. As much as I'd love to poke the rims and stretch the tyres, being a daily its got to be reasonably tame

      I know you don't want to hear this comment, but I can't not say it.  I just can't see 200kw being worth the time and effort. Its like guys with NA cars, putting in headers/exhaust/tune for a massive 20% jump in power. Great, the slow car is still slow and you're down $10,000.  My vote is leave it NA or price in a gearbox upgrade and shoot for at least 300KW, preferably 350KW+.  Now you have a NC that will try to kill you from time to time and will be exciting to drive

      How "plug and play" is the Haltech Pro for R33 GTST

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      Ah yep. The main message I want to pass on is, try not to get scared of ghosts when thinking about knock/knock detection.  What I mean is, healthy engines make noise. Knock is also noise. Your knock sensor and ECU combo are trying to determine bad noise from good noise based on how loud the noise is. The factory knock sensors and ECU are not good at doing this.  Modern ECU's are pretty decent at it, however I'd still say that you would want to verify that if your ECU says it's knock, that you actually listen to it and confirm that it is correct.  Are you familiar with the plex knock monitor?  https://www.plex-tuning.com/products/plex-knock-monitor-v3/ I expect you're the type of person that would be very keen to play with something like this. It is great knock detection and you can pop some headphones on and listen to what's going on.  Knock that you've deliberately induced in low load low RPM areas is not really putting anything at risk and is a great tuning/learning/verification tool.  I just thought this was worth mentioning based on the way you were talking about setting up a base map and the Haltech base map settings. There are better ways to spend your time then chasing ghosts and worrying about detonation in scenarios that it is crazy unlikely to encounter it.  I was also wondering, what ECU are you planning to get? Will it be long til you pick it up?
