Thread revival time!

They're not the best looking wheels on a R33 GTS25t, but they're certainly one of the lightest and I think they look alright.

Mine in 18x9 & 18x10 +35, and the same wheel in 19" on a NSX.

CE28s??? Looks nice imo!! =)

I seriously considered CE28N, awesome looking wheel and very light.

Thanks. My new wheels are Advan RZ-DF http://www.yokohama.com.au/ADVAN-Wheels/ADVAN-RZDF.aspx

The rear 18 x 10s weigh ~7.9kg!

I took another slightly better pic.

anyone running 18x9 +15 / 18x10 +22 on their R33?

what work was needed for the guards (if any?)

but im guessing slight roll front & rear and removal of splash guard on front or tuck up higher?

whatisname; any scrubbing or guard work? my sizes are similar to yours only 10~20mm difference.

much clearance left?

Unfortunately no, Just did it for a laugh for a couple of days, then put those wheels back on my Soarer. Don't poke as much as you would think, however.

With some negative camber and a guard pull they would be workable., the top of the tread on the rear was just rubbing over big bumps, front wasnt a problem, as I had the nose sitting quite high.

The rear guards are rolled, but that's it. Fronts are untouched and I'm running brand new inner guard liners. No scrubbing at all, although there's not a lot of clearance - between the outer lip of the rim and guard, and inner lip and bottom spring platform.

thanks guys,

looks like i either a) pull guards out on rear or b) run some camber to tuck them in.

oh well, guess im stuck with the wheels.

i remember running 18x10 +35 on an R34 GTT and there was still plenty of clearance hence my reason for getting the above sizes lol

    • R12 has not been not available for....decades now. Propane is not a great replacement. (I mean, it's a great replacement, but it is a bit too flammable). R134a being the only way to go forward with an R12 system. The design pressures etc, are close enough to R12's to work. The ability to move heat around is close enough to R12's to work.
    • Out of curiosity, what's the reason for converting? I think @R3N3 might have the Frenchy's kit in the R33? I somehow think of you as the ambassador for realistic and clean street-driven setups nowadays  
    • careful when running the car after a boil over. Ive heard you can lose enough coolant that it won't show the right temps because of too much air in the system (or something like that). Make sure the levels are good before trying again.  Maybe a mobile mechanic can come have a look with their scan tool ?
    • OK, just for some extra clarity - there is more than one option at Frenchy's. 1. You can buy the whole kit - with or without the actual compressor. The whole kit includes mounts, hoses, condensor, etc. That's either ~$2200 or ~$2800. No surgery required with this option. 2. You can buy just the bracket (~$600), or the bracket with the compressor (~$1200). Either of this or the above option "without the compressor" is if you already have an Echo comp or you are able to source one locally. Whatever the case, in this option, you will need surgery done on your hoses to adapt to the new compressor. When I said "the Frenchy's kit", I meant the whole kit in option 1. It is obviously somewhat more $$ than a $1500 OEM compressor. But if I had to spend $1500 on an OEM compressor, I would certainly consider spending double that to renew and significantly update everything forward of the firewall. Another option is to rebuild your original compressor. My R34 comp is currently dead and I will be most likely doing that to it if the spare one in the shed is also leaky.
    • I’m thinking that’s the route I’ll  go, thanks for the input!
