Hey guy's, new to the forums.

I just have a few questions,

ive just brought a R33 GTS-T, bone stock,

i wanted to get a set of wheels, (18" prefered) (18x8, 18x7)

i was wondering what size i can fit under the guards no problem, i also want to get it lowered (not too much tho). i was going to get a set from tempe tyres or some where like that,

so is there any offsets or other things i need to know about before buying?

also, im after a full exhaust system (from turbo all the way). im in Syd,

any help apriciated.

thanks

Matt

18x8 on the front 235/40, 18x9 on the back 255 or 265/35. Tempe Tyres will now what fits and what doesn’t I'd say they have done a few. Get a whiteline package springs and shocks lowers the car by about 30mm that's all you need any lower and the R33 don't perform well. You will also need a castor and camber kit when lowering it so you can get it wheel aligned properly.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

If you lower it with just the springs you will still need the castor and camber kit or you will chow out your new tyres, plus if you still have the original shocks in there I'd say they have had there day, so like hawks said if you can afford it get the shocks, springs and castor and camber bushes.

When I done the springs in mine I found out that I was rideing just on the springs the shocks droped straight down as soon as I undone the pillow mount.

    • It's kind of interesting - They definitely do builds that split the difference between what they like and what will generate views and engagement. The NC Platform always surprises everyone in a good way, in an uncomfortably good way some may say. They could throw a LS in there and arguably have the best (and best performing) car of the entire stable. But that isn't necessarily what draws views, because people viewing don't want to accept the vegetables of a LS NC MX5 being a superior vehicle in every way (including fun) than a RB26 240Z. This is also why there's not a lot of content about the GR Yaris (on the web in general). They're too good, yet 'only a Yaris' The community doesn't want certain cars to be as good as they are - to beat their hero cars, and I believe the NC MX5 is absolutely one of those cars.
    • Yeah - My key still does the chime thing. I followed the procedure but it didn't activate on the (identical) third set of keyfob that I had. I vaguely remember the alarm saying you can only pair two keys with it. Now that I've dug it up, it appears that you very much can pair keyfobs to the alarm system. (which are the fobs I use to unlock the car). I have successfully diverted the thread and can probably not use the OEM keyfob ever again unless I use the aftermarket alarm and attempt to pair the OEM keyfob to it. Which might just work, or not :D. I definitely used the nissan method and not the aftermarket alarm method.
    • What makes it worse is that Nissan made keys in the same style, for example R34 and Stagea, but they work at different frequencies or something like that. So they look the same but the remotes are not interchangeable. I learned that from some guy selling aftermarket blank keys.
    • Does your door chime work when you have the key in the lock and open the door? I've had that disabled because it's f**king annoying and it is one thing that messes with the pairing. Because now the car doesn't detect key in ignition anymore and the slide-key-in-and-out sequence does not trigger the pairing mode anymore. The service manual has a section on the various bits involved in doing the syncing. I presume it'll be similar between Stagea and R34.
    • Agree, but meh, I think is is based more on LOLS than actually apples to apples, like, who would have thunk a turbo 4 cylinder would not beat a NA 4 cylinder  I think with just basic N/A mods, like a exhaust and tune, it would be equal to the Mini in its current form, maybe I know my current 2.5 would "chop the mini" as the midrange now has a night and day difference in power delivery compared to the tuned 2.0, by around 20kwatw and 30nm from around 2k rpm "ish"....... I'm kinda hoping that they do a N/A build, either with the MZR 2.0 or with whatever they decide to use If I recall correctly they did talk about K swapping one a while ago
