Due to some helpful advice on this forum I decided to get me

some work xd9s for my r33 gtst. I've got a gtr front end so that

means wider guards

now I just don't no why to do at the fronts

the choices are

18x9 + 20 or 18x10 +18

I don't want to scrub at full lock

or have issues having a full car really shits me :)

if anyone can point me In The right way pls do :)

cheers

the 10s only stick out 15mm more then the 9s so with the correct tyre choice ie stretch there should be not to much headache.. it is 15mm less inner clearence though but again i dont forsee an issue

my car is 18.9.5 + 15 with 25mm wider front guards with a 235/40 tyre thats how it sits only scrubs cos its low few mm higher would be no issues at all.

Get the 18x10+18?

a 18x9.5+12 and 18x10+18 is pretty much the same give or take a few mm. If you've got GTR front end then anything under a 9.5" will be inside the guards and look like shit. Do it right the first time, buy the wheels and make them fit.

    • I have replaced the larger coolant temp sensor, i do see a smaller one next to it (looks to be just 1 pin) but i assume that is just for the dash? or should i replace that aswell?
    • Check coolant temp sensor ~ symptoms fit the hard hot start/cold start OK scenario --- if sensor goes open circuit, ECU thinks engine is cold and enriches mixture ....works when engine cold, but floods them with rich mixture when hot (Hyundi MAP engines are a bit infamous for this)...
    • OK, starter changed for a spare without much trouble. Neil had kindly left space to get to the top starter motor bolt from above with a long spanner which makes the whole deal much easier, and everything else was neat and easy to get at from underneath. Once the starter was changed everything was good, unplugged the CAS and turned the motor on the starter to make sure everything was free and happy. Onto properly priming the oil and first start. I'd picked up one of these oil prime kit from Boost doc a while back and this was my first time using it.  https://boostdoc.com.au/products/engine-oil-prime-kit?_pos=1&_sid=28c628a65&_ss=r While I'd organised all the fittings to hook it up to my GTR (sump plug to -6 feed and -4 T to tap it in and retain the oil pressure gauge, neither suited on this car as the oil pressure needs to T into 1/8 NPT not -4 and the Aeropro sump has some massive drainplug not that factory whatever it is. So, waiting for a couple of fittings, then I'll prime it and do first start, hopefully next weekend. Other than that going well, there is very little stopping a final alignment, tune then shakedown day
    • Also to mention, i just tested the CAS, seems to be working fine, can hear the pulses inbetween 0 and 180 degrees, another mention aswell, when i let the car sit for about a hour today, i went to start it and it almost fired on first crank, then just completely struggled. Could it possibly be blocked injectors?, maybe allowing a little bit of fuel to seep past allowing it it almost start first crank?
