Hi all

I just fitted some volk rims onto my r33 but when i drive the front right hand side is making a really bad grinding metal on metal noise... I know the offsets arent rite but i got a workshop to fit them with some spacers. It doesnt look like there is much clearance on the studs as well. The nuts hold the tyres in.. i just dont think its secure as there wasnt much of the stud left after spacers were put in. So any1 got any suggestions?? Really wanting to keep these rims as they are nice.. So i was thinking, get longer studs put on them?... Grind off the nissan on the brake caliper n see if thats the problem... or get rid of them altogether and get ones that fit properly... (last resort tho).. I want this car outta my driveway.. so any help asap would be great

I just want these god dam things to fit :D

Any1 who can help with fitting them... $$ will be paid..

Cheers

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      By 677_GTR · Posted

      Hi guys, I’m new to the GTR scene. Picked up an R33 GTR earlier this year that needs a lot of love. I’ve been going through the hot side, changing all the gaskets and while it was all off I managed to score a set of -9s. It still had the stock ceramics so I was pretty happy to get the 2860s.  I live in a small country in the pacific with 0 performance car scene. No dyno’s no performance parts, let alone stock parts for a skyline. I order everything from Australia and do it myself. This means I’ll be running the stock ECU. Maybe down the track I’ll get an aftermarket set up and do a remote tune.  Will the car run -9s on stock tune safely?  I have a very heavy foot so I really hope so 😂   thanks guys

      Leaking Rear Subframe Bushing?

      perfect, no rush to address the leaking bush then, it's not doing much/anything

      Does RB25DE Neo lower intake work with RB25DET Neo Upper intake manifold?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I'm not sure if it will bolt up, but.... I'm reasonably sure that the ID of the runners is somewhat smaller on the NAs. So it probably wouldn't be a good match at the flange where the top and bottom meet. So that would be a reason to not do it. And the skinny runners would be the bit you're keeping, which would be a reason to no do it. You'd want the big runners if you were doing any work to swap stuff. Why not just use what you've got, like nearly everyone else who has +T'd an NA? You don't need or want the TCS throttle or other stuff that is specifically DET inlet/crossover.

      Unknown sound similar to BOV on positive boost with partial throttle RB26

      Makes sense. For actuators, if the pressure itself isn't adjustable, that would mean I'd need to think about 2 different actuators with 2 different pressures on paper in order for them to work at the same time if the turbos behave differently. So measure the difference in psi needed to move both, and then get an actuator to match that difference. Assuming I cant get rid of it by adjusting the arms.  You're exactly right, never happens in gear 1 or 2. I can occasionally get it in gear 3 if going uphill but its very small. Only ever in 4 and 5. Seems kind of backwards that one of the points of VCAM is faster spool but if it introduces shuffle then it actually slows spool down.
