It's tempting and doable in the space of half an hour (Tein SS ftw), but I'd have to run some negative camber and roll the guards to make it work (not factory paint so I'm worried it'll crack/crease). I live around bumpy roads so the ride would be f'n terrible too. At the moment they sit flush with the guards pretty nicely (cept I may lower it 10mm more in the rear) so I'll probably leave for now.

Yer I gotta remove the stickers lol, I don't mind them personally but everyone has told me to take them off. I'm just enjoying them while they are on because once off I can't put them back on again :blush:

It's funny how small 18's look these days...

they look small because of the rim design been deep dish and spokes looks smaller if u had spokes right to the edge of the rim would look much larger, plus lower it they will look bigger

rolling guards wont cause u any issues with the paint, you wont need a flare i rkn an inch all round will have you baller and be tough as fk maybe slight rear camber nothing excessive wil be needed

DOOOO ITTTT!

Man, whether or not 18s are small by today's standards, I'd still rather some good looking 17s or 18s with dish, width and offset than some Chromed out trash with cash 22s.

Looks good Birds, got any photos of the rear? I'm looking at some 9 inch wide rears with a +25 offset, but fear it may be a bit weak for what i like. May have to go 10.5 inch wide with +20 :D

BTW if anyone has any pics of an R33 with such a width and offset, 17 or 18 inch is fine, though 17 is preferable, I would greatly appreciate if you could post.

cheers!

Has anyone ever put a set of 17' Watanabes or Minilites on an R33?

Yes, yes, I'm stuck in the past, but I reckon with the right stance it could look pure track porn good.

Cheers for compliments. I totally guessed it with these wheels...offset, tyre size and all that. To be honest I had no idea if it would work but I reckon I got lucky. I'll take a rear pic for you Jay...they aren't ns.com spec at the back but they sit flush with the guards which is the look I prefer. Plus I don't wanna be wearing out the inners of my tyres too quickly :D Can always add spacers later on if I want it to sit wider.

Yer that's what I explained to my friends, it's the style of the rim with dish and small spokes that make them look like 17. If you want big looking wheels you go for Commodore spec chromies, Bob Jane stylez lol. I reckon 18 is just about the perfect size for the R33, i.e. if you're going for that performance/racing look - 19/20 is more a showcar size.

look my car up its 18x10 +20 good luck with 10.5 it'll need a flare for sure.

yeh birds 18s ur spot on they look fine, plus that rim has quite chunky spokes so doesnt help but if u reduce ur fender gap the rim will look larger but yeh dont worry ur tyres wont chew out to quick.

either way its tidy now but if u wana make it baller slammmmmmmm it :)

Yeah was expecting a flare to be necessary, ive seen rolled 18x10 +20/+18 and thats a bees dick to scrubtown, maybe should buy a set of 9 inch with +25 or so then buy two ridiculous rears to attempt when i finally nut up!

Yours looks pretty flush alex, is it rolled or mild flare?

jaysiin helps if u put rim sizes/widths as opposed to tyre specs from the pic the rear looks fair sunken but could be the photo

when u mentioned it, it does look sunken in the photo. but its not really that bad. i just had a look just then, if the rear sat out more, ill need the guards rolled. its sits kinda flush.

i have attached some pics.

stern 5 spoke 17s FTW haha! o

they look pretty cool on my car, dished on the back w/255s so looks pretty tough, not in the same league as other rims though

cheap and cheerful :happy:

Considering how old these Sterns are, I think they still look pretty damn good on the R33.

Heres mine.

They are Konig Netz 18x9.

Needs a small spacer on the rear to bring out the wheels a bit, but other then that i think they look alright.

Cheap too.

    • Welcome back to the scene! Godzilla Motorsports were well regarded back in the day.  My GT-R had work done there prior to my ownership.   SRS (Street Race Solutions) in Toowoomba worth a look.  They've built some pretty wild Skylines. Their YouTube channel is comedic to watch!  I'm sure they're all on the glass BBQ but they get shit done! 🤣
    • Hard to say what the extra connector is, it looks a bit like a coax type connector, so possibly a separate radio/GPS antenna, or even another camera input?  The V37 series (including the Q50), did go through a model refresh in 2020, since Australia didn't get any Q50s newer than 2019, we didn't get any of the refreshed models, so there could also be other unexpected problems to overcome to swap an older Q50 head unit into a new model V37. There probably aren't too many people around that have made these sorts of changes to a Q50/V37, so you might end up being the first if you do decide to go ahead. ACP is Apple Car Play and AA is Android Auto, they are roughly the same thing for the 2 major phone operating systems (Apple's iOS and Android), it allows you to connect your phone and access a number of your phone applications on your car system.  With Nav apps included, so you could use google maps/Waze or whatever your favourite navigation app is, instead of using the built in navi system.  I think this would be a better solution if it is only Navigation that you are looking as swapping the head unit for. GPS signals are the same around the globe as the GPS satellites continuously circle the globe, but it is the head unit that doesn't allow you to load Australian maps, or at least no-one had made an Australian map that will load up on the JDM head unit. Regarding the TV standards, I assume you are referring to the AV inputs?  I haven't ever tried to use them, Japan used a slightly modified version of the US NTSC system, and Australia uses PAL for composite video, that said, I wouldn't be surprised if a video input could work with either system.  That is mostly irrelevant here though, unless you plan to use those inputs for something?
    • If you've got bucket loads of $. Go single. If not, just upgrade the twins, Garrett -9's or whatever the current equivalent is for a healthy 350awkw and leave it at that. Will probably still cost you 10k to do in this day and age.
