hi guys,

I have been sorting through old topics to see if anyone has fitted 18x8.5 +30 offset wheels to an R33 GTR, however i have had no luck. Has anyone done this? does anyone know if it will fit/suit, or will it not fill up the guards and look like ass?

cheers for the help

How is steering on R33 GTR With 10.5 ? is it really heavy bcoz of the width? and does it hit on anything on full lock?

Get some castor and camber going - drives like a dream.

You will find the guard liner will get some rubbing depending on suspension. Mine is not rock hard kidney bashing stuff, so I get slight rubbing with 285s.

Not sure about 265s, I've not really drive the car hard enough with them on yet.

When i say rubbing, it's very very minimal. So much that you cannot hear it whilst driving and only 1-2 spots of inner guard will have marks

Doesn't hit on full lock. Doesn't feel heavy. It actually feels to me just like having stockies on.

Stock camber/caster might be ok, but wind on some castor and then see how it goes.

whilst mine's a 32, it runs heaps of castor and the inner guard cops a bashing.

    • Be more active mate.. , not taking the piss ❤️, your long term health will love you for it I would think something like a kettle bell or 2 laying around in areas you go past during the day would be awesome for ADHD.... "Oh look, a kettlebell", and exercise helps your brain health as well My mates son was a bit of a problem child, diagnosed wirh ADHD, and some other things that had his brain occasionally doing loops, until we got him into a training program, the difference after he started training was amazing, he had more focus, and his fitness levels exploded, it is like he is a totally different kid to be around Brain chemistry something something Stay fit stay strong mate
    • I had never actually looked into it, but aren't onboard compressors a thing in trucks?
    • Read the ECU for fault codes or have someone else do it. A faulty coolant temperature sender is usually listed in ECUs. If the sensor itself is not busted it can also be a bad ground connection. Or in a really unlucky case, damaged wiring.
    • Can't be a Futjitsubo as those are made with a flex piece and Reimax is smaller in pipe diameter. If anything it is closest to a Mines pipe, but evidently it is not an actual Mines pipe.   Classic word humor
    • Alright I will try to not forget.   As GTSboy replied to you already, problem is mainly the mismatch between the actual exhaust part and the denomination in the papers. That basically just looks like tampering to a cop, if they were to check your car and notice. If it had been done right they would have clarified it to be a custom pipe and just given it a certain part number that you have to engrave or weld onto the pipe. I will definitely inquire on what to do. Changing the pipe wouldn't be my favorite solution as it costs a bunch of money and the cat was fitted with the front pipe and exhaust under the car, and if the front pipe flange does not sit in the OEM location the cat will need to be refit for any other pipe to work. It also usually doesn't need a brand name or something like that, but more something like a part number. Usually for exhaust parts, on silencers and cat units specifically, there is a badge that reads the certificate number that belongs to these exhaust parts under EU regulation. You get these numbers after you put a part or group of parts through the tedious testing according to EU vehicle legislation and they pass. You can find these "part numbers" on various parts throughout a EU vehicle. On windows, headlights, engine parts, seat belts and so on. All these parts have gone through standardized testing and acquired a so called ECE or EG Certificate that makes them legal to use by themselves in all countries that adhere to these standards. You can also not alter these parts in any way, if you do they become illegal. An example for stampings on an exterior lighting part, the people who need to know can find the documentation for this unit in a database. I do not know what all the standards and so on mean.
