hey guys, hopefully you'll be able to help me out here, just have a question about wheels for my skyline. heres my dilemma, i am able to get a set of 26x8.5x15 m/t drag slicks for a very good price and the thing is, i have plenty of spare 16" wheels but no 15s, can anyone point me in the right direction as to what 15inch wheels will suit the stud pattern/offset. i dont care how the wheels look, i just want 15s to fit my 34 for next week at calder. next question about the slicks, now i know you should be running front runners if your running drag slicks on the rear, but what are the next best option? now a question that might not get answered, would the r33 rear suspension fit on an r34? reason i ask is i dont wanna run with the tein coilovers that are in the car at the moment, and not many ppl have r34 rear suspion. THANKS IN ADVANCE GUYS, Baset. ps, reason why i havent put in sau yet is because they dont seem to take well to drag racing questions/threads.

well the car pretty much has a gt3540, turbosmart pro gate, 2 x bosch 044 fuel pumps, surge tank, 800cc injectors, splitfire coil packs, vipec ecu on 18psi it made 317.1 rwkw, going back to gtech on monday and boost it up to about 22psi and see how we go yes your right about two26l, but we cant forget thats four wheel drive lol big advantage over my rear wheel drive gtt.

falcon stockies. get the 26x8.5x15 slicks. there is no real next best option for front runners as your car will be too fast just to pump up the fronts really hard. you can buy cheap nankang front runners of ebay then get more falcon stockies modified to 4inch wide. cost u $110 a rim from ajax. otherwise run a 15' et radial. i wouldnt bother with 18's they dont have enough sidewall its up to u if you want a better pb or not.

yeh i have left it too late, and i now im forced to run exactly they way it would be on the street so im not expecting anything exciting, a 12 will keep me happy lol. havent driven the thing properly for about 10months, havent seen 3rd gear going quick (apart from 1 powerslide) and only driven the car around the back streets really. so the after this friday, ill organise everything properly inlcuding slicks and then we shall go for quick times Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
