easiest way to explain offset is picture the rim. Now picture a line down the very middle of the rim. Now picture the hub of the rim being forward of that centre line. That is + offset. Picture that hub being behind the centre line. That's - offsett.

To answer your wuestion the Drift Teks you are looking at will be inside your guards. You will not have to modify your guards at all.

If that is all your budget can afford then go that option. Or save up some more and keep on looking.

PM me what your budget is and I will do some homework and see what I can find for you. I can get some JAP wheels fairly cheap or other wheels with decent offsets and widths for you.

Wow! I want this done to my guards, wonder how much a panel shop would charge?? if I could find a panel shop to do it.

old school racing (17x9 +24)

As you can see mine needs more low & lip/flare, GTR rims almost flush with guards, prolly stick out 2mm. I had to get the guards rolled at the rear, the fronts are standard and have never scrubbed (ride height = 350mm)

looks like youve got the s2 taillights as well.

THENIG - just some more low will sort it. and maybe a slight roll of the guards.

we run r33GTR rims on one of our race cars and with decent fitting tyres and they have stock guards.

the beauty with the dynamic camber on r32s is that as you go lower the more the wheel will tuck in.

ive just put some 17x9.5 work equips on the back of mine. ill put a pic up shortly and get the offset tomorow as i dont know what it is.

looks like youve got the s2 taillights as well.

I didn't know there was a difference, maybe mine look different because I am using LED globes in all four tail lights.

Yeah car deff needs more low, been meaning to measure how much lower I can go for a while & get some new suspension (mine isn't height adjsutable) only thing is it scrapes coming out of my driveway as it is (Damm GTR lip), so can't go too low.

Also I have a pair of silver 'type m' side skirts at home that I have been considering putting on, but would let them go for the right price if anyone is interested.

whats the difference from s1 and s2 taillights ??

i had s2 tailights on my old car and def looks like them on yours

they have a crease in the middle that follows the line where the boot finishes (goes horizontally across)

the s1 are completly flat

S2 lights have a line through the middle, lining up with the boot/bumper line. At least yours looks like it has those lights.

Nah its just the reflection in the picture, you had me going there for a while, had to go have a look at my car, it's 90' model, cloth trim not, I never noticed that the rear lights were different on a series 2, only noticed that some other 4 doors have a bigger skyline badge on the back.

yeah the whole chassis base is the same, only the body is different

think its 7cm longer than the coupe, the main differences are from the front windscreen back ie. doors, boot, quarters, seats, carpet, etc

    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
    • I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.
    • If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
