hi guys,

just a quick one, i've just fitted some 17x10's to the rear of my cefiro & i'm looking for some decent rims for up front. i currently run 17x9 +38 meshies up front which with 40mm wider gards still needed to be rolled...

question is, will 9.5" wide rims fit up front okay???

i'm looking at the koya drift tek in 17x9.5 +18 offset...

thanks,

They will clear, just.

I've got 17x9 +30s, up the front, they sit flush with the guard, and about 3-5mm away from coilover, althought it can be more depending on the ride height.

At high speeds, it rubs on the coilover, noticeable less when it's not slammed.

depends on ur ride height, stiffness and wheel allignment. im running r33 gtr wheels which are 17x9.5, with 215/45 tyres, with stock ride height, stiff suspension, rolled guards, 2 degrees neg camber, not sure bout caster and they occasionally scrub at full lock usually wen im doing big angles with lots of speed at full lock

I've got 33 R wheels as well, they're 17 x 9, not 9.5.

You running any spacers?

I run 1 degree camber, stock guards, slammed and the only rubbing is on the coilover at high speeds up front, and I'm running 225s.

Sometimes the rears rub on the guards if I'm not carefull when reversing out driveway...they're 235s, and not sure of camber, more than the fronts.

Getting 215s all round tomorrow, that might help a bit.

Any idea's where yours are rubbing?

I dont have any issues on full lock.

Have you got the splash guards inside the wheel arches ?

17x9.5 +5 upfront on mine with stock guards

Care to pull more pics from previous owner's build thread? :P :P

Specifically...the ones showing all the rubber on the side mirror.... haha

Was running 9+30 with a 30mm spacer on the front of mine which sat about flush with 225/45 and 3 deg of camber. Now have 9.5+18 with a 235/45 and don't really like as the sit a bit too close to the coilover and sit in the gaurd a little bit more than the 9s. Would ideally like to run a 9 with 0 to -10 offset and a 225/40 tyres with my current amount of camber. Kris has it done right need mine to be like that :D

Note: am running r33 lca's with the knuckle pulled right out and abused standard gaurds.

      R33 GTS25 NA - Stalling when vehicle is at operating temp

      By dbm7 · Posted

      For sure the later RB26 variants had a different setup (6 cam voltage sender?), but the RB25DE/DET share the same ECU pinout/PCB footprint, and at the ECU plug it ends up being 'throttle sensor in' & 'throttle sensor out' (to A/T TCU) ...you stick a multimeter on these pins and you'll find them directly connected (0 ohms) ; I had an pair of Nissan ECUs on the bench long ago, and I noticed this throttle sensor in/out link, actually linked to an op-amp ...which was unpopulated on the NA board, but present on the T board and I went 'ah-ha!' in some moment of clarity... ...it wouldn't surprise me if they changed strategy here though (in the software and actual monitoring of this signal), because they did with other stuff (A/T signals).. and 0.45v as a trigger point makes sense, as that's what the external TCU units expect at idle ; kudos, thanks for that insight...I suppose it boils down to whether or not Consult can display real time data of that signal's voltage... ...in any event, it presents the same target...ie; rotate TPS unit to achieve 0.45v to suit both ECU&TCU, and where do you goto from there? Just disconnect TPSwitch connector and/or that plus TPSensor connector....or do you go for the throat and disconnect IACV solenoid and see if it still stalls? (probably throws a recoverable fault code and goes for default idle strategy?)...

      Exhaust silencers/varex exhausts

      I’m also conscious that e85 is slowly being phased out. Not all United’s have them anymore. Can’t take the risk of being low on petrol and assuming the servo will have it.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      MR HAMMER has said his piece. Painted up to avoid Rusty Rusty. Actually lines up well. (i.e it lines up the same as the unmolested GTR guard). Turns out the GTR Strut brace does foul on the bonnet vents ever so slightly. May need a little bendy bendy if intended to keep using with a strut brace. So spacing it out to clear the FAST102 is not an option. Annoyingly, the bonnet vents also foul on the heater lines running over the engine. Given this engine does not EVER require a heater, a delete loop is going to be used. Don't worry, the defogger uses the AC. The heater is basically "Do not use the aircon and turn the fan on". It will still be effective, I promise.... once I get the system regassed... Will have to revisit with unvented bonnet I suppose, and suitable strut brace. There's plans to do this and other things tonight and bleed brakes (there was a weep) and put the bumper back on, and take Good Friday morning - Because troubleshooting on the side of the road limping it home at midnight tonight is ... not very smart.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      Thank you all for you assistance. I contacted Nistune regarding the support for the RB20DE along with my ECU Code (23710-10U00). They do have a map for it and added the RB20DE as a purchasable option now as well. They also added Malta as a Billing and Delivery options as this was missing. I was honestly amazed at their quick response and action, it took less than 24 hours. I also looked again at direct fit options for injectors, just in case I were to replace them. DeatschWerks seem to use a Bosch EV14 base and makes ones that fit mine at 440cc lowest, but also have 550cc at the same price. I tried looking for other direct fit options and managed to find one (also Bosch EV14 based) which includes a plug and play adapter on ebay. Did a small test with a Noid Light on the troubled injectors and all seems good, so they are pulsing properly electrically. One weird part is that they are missing on the same two cylinders as before I got the injectors cleaned. Mechanic also found this weird as he did not label the injectors and it is unlikely to have the faulty injectors be installed in the same cylinders.
