20s look stupid on the front of skylines the lack of tyre sidewall and the raised hieght is ridiculous..

Now if your were to pick up some 18s for the front,it will make your steering easier and better, it will make your your frontend lower giving the car a mean rake with the front being slightly lower than the rear and generally all your problems will be solved and your car will look tuff as balls..

Thats my 2c anyway ,if you wanna keep your stupid 20s on the front then i have no further advice..

yeh agree

but 18s front 20's rear is even more gay.

see i dunno cause i havent seen it done yet..usually people only have an inch difference between front and back, remember seeing a S14 with 18s and 19s and it looked shit hot, same goes for 17s-18s on skylines.. i see alot of the street machine crowd do 18s and 20s (or 20s and 22s) and it can look really tuff, but yeah, thats a different style of car..Yet to see it on a skyline..I think the main thing really is to have the tyre sidewalls close to the same size so everything looks in proportion.. :thumbsup:

I definitely wouldn't go 2 inches smaller on the front. Placing these things next to my current 18s makes them look like 16s.

It would be too bigger difference. 19 up front, 20 on the rear I have seen done before.

But honestly its all work to chase up. 20s all around is easier, because i already have them :D Sure I cant lower the front to the ground, but considering I get pulled up nearly weekly and checked for ride height, that doesnt bother me.

This car is a daily, so i cant slam it and camber it as much as I'd like :(

I like how you added work meisters after the 20" so as not to get flamed( as bad!)

245 40 is way too big for the R33(looks like bad camber wear so they need changing anyway). if you didnt want to run a 225 30 20 you could run a 235 30 20 for the front.

By doing this you wont have to do any grinding, but if you had to you could grind away at the little lip of the upper control arm.

Does the tyre bulge out past the rim? because with a 8.5" +25 the wheel shoudnt be that close to the side of the arm?

Haha I knew it would turn to a flame thread unless I was clear on the type of rim!

Yeh the tires on the rims are rooted, so Ive got the chance to start a fresh and make sure it all fits correctly on my car. I think I'll run a 225 up front just to be safe.

And I am thinking a 235/30 on the rear rim (9.5inch wide).

Thats the plan atm, trying to keep the rolling diameters sorta close between front and back (throwing a 225 on 9.5 inch rim isnt a good idea imo, so ill have to go bigger at the rear)

No the 245 doesnt bulge atm, the wheel is slightly turned in the pics, making the tire look like it sits further under then it really does (when straight)

Using the 1010tires calculator even a 245/30/20 will have a smaller rolling diameter then the current 245/45/18 I am running up front. Rolling diameter is reduced by 677.67mm to 654.81mm with the 245/30/20.

So its probably just easier to run with 245/30/20s all around.

Any opinions on this?

Can I ask what you ended up needing to do to make this all fit?

I've just found some 20" D1R's that i think would look amazing on my R33 GTST

I've got rolled guards front and rear, and flared rears

Currently running 18x +30 all round with 25mm bolt on spacers on the rear and it looks neat.

Thinking of going 8.5 +32 fronts and 10" +32 rears with the 25mm spacer :)

Is 235/30 tyres the secret to front fitment, or is there more to it than that?

      GTSBoy on your suggestion on another thread I had a look at those injectors and ended up getting them because of the quality.  Got the expensive ones.

      R32 gtr hood latch support/lock part number search

      By eli995 · Posted

      Hey guys been looking everywhere to try and find the correct gtr hood latch support part number but only found the first half and when I search with that number it sends me to an r34. The first part I found was 62515. If anyone could help me with the rest then I’d really appreciate it. Or if there’s some alternative hood latch support that would work even better cause I can’t find any for sale. (Searched on upgarage, partsouq,buyee,rhdjapan)

      If you've only done the upper control arms on the rear, AND you have changed their length (by more than about 1mm) to set the camber you want, then you will definitely need/want to install traction arms also. Adjusting the camber arms on their own WILL introduce bump steer and make the car unpleasant to drive. Most owners have no idea that their car could behave infinitely better than what they put up with. I'm not entirely sure what the Stageas need, but I am thinking that unless you have massive front spring rates and pretty soft rear springs, you have waaaay too much rear bar. Oversteer city, in my estimation. Combined with possible excessive bump steer from maladjusted arms, that could be a recipe for nastiness. ATR43SS2 is not a highflow. It is an outright replacement turbo. It's a little bit bigger than the largest highflow profile that Tao does. Probably a solid 300rwkW turbo where the bigger highflows will be about 30-40rwkW less. Nevertheless, we're only talking about ~300 rwkW, which is well within the abilities of the stock ECu to run with a Nistune on board. I would do so without hesitation - and I will be doing so when I get my finger out and actually get the injectors and AFM installed. But, if you would prefer to drop a whole lot more money on the ECU side, then I suspect you're looking at Haltech. The Haltech fanbois here will all spout on about all the available engine protection you can have, that you can't have with the Nistune option. And they're right. But it doesn't really come for free either. You will spend more money on extra sensors and the like, plus the work to install them. If the engine was built and therefore represented a big investment to protect, then I'd say definitely do it. If you view the current (and forever into the future) shortage of replacement engines as something to prompt similar protection, then also, do it. If you see a destroyed RB25 as an opportunity to put in a Mercedes or other V12 (like I kinda do)... then your perception of the risk/reward might differ. These are good injectors. You can also get a "better" set of the same with more flow matching, for more $$. 1000cc is where you will want to be. You will need an R35 AFM and adapter tube if you want to stay with Nistuned stock ECU. Otherwise, if going Haltech, you can ignore. As for intercooler. Just about anything will do. You're only talking about ~300rwkW. Just put a big core in there. Be aware that return flows do add significant pressure drop and will cost power and will make the turbo work harder to achieve the same goals. If you can manage a proper crossflow, do it. I'm keeping my very good return flow because I'm only expecting to be in the ~250rwkW range, and will live with whatever outcome I get.
