hey guys my dreams got shattered today after trying to fit these onto my r33 gtst after just buying them at the start of this week. fell in love with the look and the rareness of these wheels! the rears were awesome and they stuck out of the guard just a tad just how i liked but the fronts did not fit due to no clearance for the caliper!!!!!!!!

i got these from jms in adelaide and they told me they came off a r33 skyline so i had no problems but they were obviously wrong and i'm not happy at all!!!! :)

i have to sell them now as i don't want to run spacers or anything. offset is unknown as it doesn't mention anything at all on the rim except for manaray, jwl and size. the rears though seem to be around the +30 mark and front within +38 to +30.

if you are interested bring your car around and we'll test fit the fronts on and if they fit they should be o.k. this is considering you dont have a 33 and have small front brakes. have a feeling they could fit on a soarer or fc pretty well. if you have a r32 i am pretty interested to see if they would fit on the front as they mentioned it would fit a skyline but they might have meant r32 and not r33.

*edit* the rears come with screw on/screw off spacers that actually bolt onto the wheel on the back of where the rim sits on the hub. its just under a cm.

specs are:

front 17x8.5 with crap 245/40R17

rear 17x9.5 with crap 245/45R17

the wheels are old but they are in good condition for the age. if you want show rims these arent it. they have a bit of gutter rash, some scratches but overall very good and still shiney condition. they have the centre caps and everything. give them a bit of a clean and they will look great like what they first looked like when jms got them in the picture. (picture is of the actual rims)

want $850ono and i don't want low ballers cause i love these rims. will swap for anything of interest. need these gone asap so i can get some new rims. pick up in western suburbs of vic or will send interstate but at ur own cost. call/msg me on 0432454387

dude just keep them and run a 15-25mm bolt on spacer, too easy and safe, or even a 5-8mm slip on depending on how far off they are.... or as heaps of people do, file your calipers down a bit, you can take quite a fair bit

i think i might have to run spacers if no one wants to take them off me. gonna have to harden the fk up lol but i'll see how i go with the sale first.

mattysaidso the wheels are at japanese motorsport in adelaide or JMS. the wheels ur after are manaray vr5s but i don't htink they have em anymore.

i'm trying to source out a 20mm bolt on spacer for my fronts and new lug nuts as the standard nuts won't allow me to stick the socket in. clearance is to small. if someone wants them though and for the price i'm asking then i will sell them otherwise my adventure of getting these fitted on the front of my car starts now lol.

pms replied guys. no low ballers please. anyone interested?

i have put the bolt on spacers from the rear to the front and they still dont clear my 33 calipers BUT could most likely clear r32s as there is only a few mm needed to clear. any 32 owners taht are interested and wanting to test fit are welcome.

alrighty these wont fit a r32 as i tried with a friends and didn't fit. need about a 15mm spacer or jsut go 25mm.

measured up as best i could the offset and they seem to be fronts +45 and rears about +38 so definately suitable for a soarer, supra or chaser etc that run high offsets. best to fit up before purchase though.

anyone have a soarer or supra? or if your a hard kunt and wanna run spacers on the front then buy them. $800 guys or throw me an offer.

they wouldn't fit because of the calipers unless you use spacers up front

    • I can't agree. If we hadn't all been brought up with the noise caused by the inefficiency of an ICE, no-one would actually ask for all that. An EV is like any other car, it just goes better. 
    • 2 more things I have to work out Easy one first...can anyone describe how to pull the fuel pump and sender from a 33? I can feel there is some sort of mount and clips but don't have a manual and don't know the trick......if not I'll spend some quality time in the boot witha lighter tomorrow. Second question is harder.  He had changed the upper plenum to a plazmaman but clearly got to a point with the vacuum hoses where he said "f**k it, I'm going inside for a beer" and never came back to that job because it was a mess. Am I right to think that I need: 1. Pre throttle (16mm nipple on inlet) to AAC's main 20mm fitting as the main pre throttle feed 2. ACC has a second 13m outlet joined to that 20mm fitting which I think is the pre throttle air supply for the cold start valve? 3. Cold start valve's outlet fitting then goes to Plenum (to bypass throttle?) There is some adapter on the back of the ACC with 2 fittings (13mm and 10mm), do I run the 10mm through a 1 way valve to the Brake Booster (4) and the 13mm back to a 13mm nipple on the Plenum as the Idle control (5)? 6. Run a 6mm vacuum line from the Turbosmart BOV to the Plenum? 7. Run a 5mm vacuum line from the Fuel Pressure Reg to the Plenum? 8. Run a 5mm vacuum line from the Turbosmart Boost controller to the Plenum? (Wastegate already has a pre turbo pressure source running to the solenoid then the wastegate on the other side of the bay)  Any help appreciated, the GTR is quite different setup and while the Stagea also has FFP it is different again. (And no Dose, I'm not pissing it all off and putting a ethrottle on it....)
    • OK, onto some questions to try and speed up the process a little. Does anyone know what core this Garret is? I know it is a high flowed standard turbo but nothing else about it. Tag says OK 0169J - 446179-5032 Same question for the injectors, I don't know what they flow and ideally can work it out before it hits the dyno, they are a mustard yellow side feed
    • Quick side trip into the engine externals, alternator and PS were in place including tensioned belts, but the PS was dry (my guess is he had the steering rack reco-ed). Filled it up with Transmax Z but it will need more bleeding once the engine is running no doubt. BTW I've said before, I don't know what kind of soft animals you have in the city, but out here they breed the rats tough. I bet they were disappointed when they tasted synthetic ATF.... Coilpacks are Splitfires with a factory loom in reasonable condition. I didn't pull one put I bet the spark plugs are new as its a new engine
    • Onto intake pressure test. I have a Raceworks (damn brand thieves!) pressure test adapter that lets you apply pressure through a standard tyre valve and comes with a pressure gauge.....I just blocked off the other end immediately before the throttle body. Applied 30psi....and the turbo intake immediately popped off with a bang. Sorted that but it was still leaking, turns out there is a pinhole leak at the BOV adapter that I'll have to find a local place to TIG up. I'm sure it makes SFA difference with such a small leak but I want it to be right. Everything else up to the throttle body was good. Also cleaned and oiled the KNX cone filter, and this is the AFM if anyone can identify it (car runs a PowerFC)
