i have divided opinions on this , i can understand Scathing but i also think having a Good set of Plates sets your car off alot more and if its one of a kind (coff) then its well worth it . $400 a Year is the price ull have to pay . As we dont have much bartering power do we :P

Bottom line is, If you have the Money , why not use it .

LOL- I'm lucky that my company name is HGE. By accident, I stumbled into coolness when

HGE001

HGExxx

HGE32R

got registered in *standard* plates!

Plates are good fun, and say abit about you and the car, but the rip off price the RTA charges for personalised plates makes it harder to justify.

As Scathing says- a lot of mods can be got for the price of the proper personalised plates.

another way of looking at it $4oo is only 1 good dyno tune and service which is normaly done 3-4 times a year on a modified car. $400 for a plate is nothing if you own a modded car.

ie; services/tunes, modifications, labour for all this unless your a spanner head, rego, fancy bits, then hope for nothing to go wrong this year. all im saying is plates can be good n bad. no power and alot of attention.

      R34 Gtt Wheel Offset Advice

      What can't be done with a little bit of decking board or similar timber bolted to a hub flange via 2 wheel nuts is not worth talking about.

      R34 GTT idle problem

      By silviaz · Posted

      I noticed something. On the tps sensor and the sensor behind the adjustment screw is adjusted towards the far left. Are these screws supposed to be centered? (this sensor was in the same position before the tune as well)  Also attached a photo of where my car usually idles at when warm (sometimes a tiny bit above that). I think I might have screwed up the calculation and it might have better than I thought lol at 750rpm still not 650rpm though.

      So for both general interest of engine health, and to rule out any coolant/oil issues, I organised an oil analysis done on the 125,000klm oil Results below, all good, just a bit of fuel dilution which I'm not too worried about

      This is actually a really good way of measuring what wheels fit. If only there was a similar measurement between hub face and suspension :p That said, it's probably pretty simple to actually measure it all with the wheel off the car for the rear. The front is a bit more complex but..

      Being the top Google search result for R34 wheel-related inquiries, lemme throw down my experience. I calculated that 100mm from hub face to wheel face is about the perfect fitment for my ENR34 sedan.  I've been running 18x8.5s, ET35, with a 1" spacer. So, 8.5in to mm = 216mm. 216/2 = 108mm. 108-35 = 73mm. 73+ 25 (1" to mm) = 98mm.  If you wanna get close to this on dif widths, here are the offsets you'll want: 9" - ET around 15mm 9.5" - ET around 20mm 10" - you're crazy, but ET around 30mm All these should fit perfectly on a non-widebody, non-GTR Skyline. Note that it's probably the absolute max, and you're probably better off running a couple degrees of camber in this config, but it looks great, super flush.
