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

    • Yep, that was one of the things we learned fast in the past with our MX5. When you drive with the top down, you are effectively standing out in the sun, 100% of the time, and not getting in any shade (because roads aren't shaded generally!). Just like standing out in the middle of a field on a sunny 27C day is a bit of a bad plan, so is sitting in a MX5 without sun protection.
    • I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it
    • If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣
    • I would agree, unless you need something specific to the HV motor/battery side repaired or investigated, any mechanic will be able to perform normal services, but if you prefer, maybe look for a mechanic who regularly services/repairs Nissans, the VQ engines are pretty common in the Nissan lineup.  Sorry, I can't make any suggestions, I don't live in Vic.
    • Some of them keep working fine. 9 out of 10 of them end up causing an absolute misery bleeding the system and get thrown on the workshop floor in a tantrum and never thought about again because they were never really needed and just added crap to the car that we could have done without. Same-same with HICAS, A-LSD, and various other stupidities that over eager 10x engineers thought we had to have.
