cool...thanks grant.

mate has a set of eurolines ..18*9 and 18*10 ..both with +35 offset...i'll try them for fit this weekend....oh and tyres are 235 at the rear too...really stretchhhhhed

wont fit in the rear it WILL hit the coilover, you need a 25mm spacer to clear them

the front will be kinda sunken

BUT if you put the 10 in the front you would be fine, but it woudl be stupid

Nice, Marc. Must come back to Canberra to have a sticky-beak...

Front 18x9 +30 Rays GT7, Proxe(?) 235x40x18

Rear 18x10 +32 Rays GT7, Maxxis 245x40x18 plus 3mm spacers.

Prior to WA road rego was tyres rear Proxes also, 265x35x18 but self destructed between Brisbane & WA. (bugger)

Ride height ~380mm all round. At this time.

cheers GW :ermm:

I thought the R33/R34/Stagea AWD system was like other AWD's - in the fact that you have to run the same size tyres front and rear?

Is this not the case?

I know you can get away with it for a while, but you'll end up burning out your drivetrain, correct?

Ref wheel diameters/profiles front to rear, I'm sure you are right however my GTIR equiped son tells me that my car is only 4wd when the rears break away & to date I have not achieved this. Too busy messing around with it plus tyres cost $$$$$$$$$$$$$. The 35's came with it of the boat so could well have been half shagged before it got into my hands. By the time I got it to WA they was chewed out on the inside edge. I will not be fitting that profile in the future unless it is all four.

Cheers GW :wub:

how much lower are you than stock?

nevermind.

i guess i really DID have that much camber lol

looks good man!

I would say about stock height. Any lower & it slurps up beer cans off the road.

Cheers GW :wub:

i pulled it becuase i hate 4wd

its still pulled now.....

im not in snow or slick surfaces, so i dont need 4wd.... its overrated around my area...plus i like drifting and big smokey burnouts

Why did you get a Stagea again?

i've had a galant vr4 engine with a gsr 4wd gearbox fit in a lancer before which in fwd mode.....mechanics had to weld something in the tranny to stop the rear from spinning....did you have to do the same when going rwd?

in answer of nz_26t question on whats the bigest rims you can fit under a serries one stag (i answed it here as i belive we should keep this thread alive.) my friend has a serries one 96 model and has just recently fitted 20x7's not shure on the rest as i don't speak to him much any more.

don't happen to have any pix do you of the 20's on?

any problems putting them on with guard clearance & so forth?

sorry fuzzy as i said don't talk to him much and haven;t seen him in a while. all i do know is he got his serries one stock, fitted exsahust and got it lowred by reseting the factory springs only resulted in 30mm drop. wacked on 17's then upgraded to 20's after ruining a 17. no gaurd removal just bolted them on no spaces and i think it looks f#@ked the rims sit to far in and it looks like a monster truck it's that high off the ground. as i said though there only 7" wide if you are going to get some get them through a reputible dealer and get the write off set. lower it as far as possible then even get a body kit so it looks low and suits the rims

    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
