Not sure if in right section but here goes...This is one for the gurus.

I Just finished my build on an R33 gst with 825rwhp and looking for a mid 9sec pass.

I'm looking for advice on rim size and offset with the biggest full drag slick that I may fit to the rear with standard brakes. Keeping in mind I dont want to downsize the brakes also.

For the front, i have R33 gtr brembos and need to know what front runners i can fit.

I'm looking to do it the most cost effective way. Any help would be greaty appreciated.

Well I'm no good for wheel size for drag use, but if you are running 33 brembos you will need at least a 17" wheel. Assuming you know how much stopping you need, I would expect anything down to R32 gtst 280mm setup should bolt up and may let you get away with 15" wheels

Thanks for taking the time to reply...

I'm aware i need 17in or larger on the front but just not sure which wheels and offset in order to clear the calipers. It's not only the offset but the design of the wheel as well. The wheel can have the right offset but the design of the spoke can be super flush.

And as for brakes, i dont want to downgrade at all because with the power im running, i want to be able to slow up fast.

    • Means something is not set up right, tune/calibration related.  
    • Finally replaced the previous temporary mesh indicator surrounds (temporary was the last 10+ years 😂) with a 3D printed GTR style version for the front indicators. I think it looks a lot nicer than the old setup and at least the indicators now point in the correct direction rather than angled off. Needed a little bit of tweaking to deal with the intercooler piping but got there in the end. Old and new photos below. 
    • It's weird to me that you say this because I'm pretty sure locals with relatively standard standalone tunes (boost/barometric compensated alpha-N) still have driveability issues when they pop intercooler hoses. Maybe with enough data I can just train some kind of model that spits out an expected grams/cyl given every sensor input except MAF like what FCA did with their Pentastar 3.6 ECU logic. Basically stock everything. The main motivation honestly is to have a sensor that can be a decent baseline source of truth. In scenarios you're describing obviously it won't work every time but it seems to me the number of corner cases that exist in MAF load is maybe not as severe and difficult to manage vs ITB alpha-N with some MAP/barometric compensation.
    • What are your plans for your blow off valves? Purely plumb back? How soft will the spring in them be? AFM can be tricky to get super smooth and nice, especially depending on the rest of the system, and then can be very easily upset if something slightly changes. IE, even if you run recirc blow off valves, you could still see issues getting it to behave at certain load points as turbos might start to spool, but you release the throttle but it's not enough pressure to crack the bov open to recirc, and you can end up with reversion which can cause double metering, and hence dumping of fuel into the system, and stalling the engine.   If you're going to run a map sensor for closed loop boost control from the ECU, what makes you want to keep the AFM?    
    • It's not bad, it's just not flexible. And say if you have any leaks between the MAF and plenum, well then your load axis goes out the window. Here's a real world scenario, I blew off an intercooler hose last track day, as the clamp decided to Bluetooth itself somewhere. Still continued to do 2 laps and drive it to the pub for a couple of beers then home. Good luck doing that with a MAF setup
