and if u thrash or see some track, then more often than that. i try to get an alignment at least once every few months, and rarely is it still within spec when it gets on the aligner each time.

True. Bouncing of ripple strips can do that :thumbsup: . Also digital alignments are hardly ever the same as each other.

hey pplz

gonna grab some rims for gf (they're gram lights 57 accelerate)

for her 34gtt - specs are : 18x8.5+33 (all around)

reckon they will fit??

I was unsure on the 8.5 on the fronts but someone mentioned if i stick to 235 fronts for the tyres then it should be ok?

Hey Guys,

I got a 93 R32 GTS-t

Looking to get some 17*7 +40mm for the front and 17*9 +35mm for the rear. Will i have to do fender rolling for the rear or front to get them to fit. Im trying to avoid this. Is there anyway that i can just run a smaller tire?

why the hell would u want that? fronts will come bloody close to fouling with 225/45's, rears will fit fine with 235/45's. will look like shit however due to the size/offset difference, rears will be around flush, fronts will be sunken A LOT

they will be fine.

ahk interesting, i get mine done at the same place every time, u mean from alignment to alignment, or from alignment machine to another alignment machine?

machine to machine. I'll only be going to one place now.

oh nisskid i need your wisdom!

my rims for the rear have arrived and i now am looking for a pair for the front to match the rears!

the rears are 18x10+18 with 235/40

this should stick out a little but i dont mind a little mexicana

but i'm not too sure how to get the right front fitment to match the rears!

what would you recommend? 18x9 +10?

btw this is for a r33 lowered on unknown tein coilovers

mismatched will be fine, especially if u have tough fitment. a lot of the yanks run mismatched for the same reasons, simply because it's easier to buy 2 2nd hand pairs at separate specs to suit you, than find a full set at perfect sepcs.

Hi Nisskid,

I found the rims I wanted and bought them. I may have to run a spacer on the front though to get the look I want.

I got 18x9 +38 with a 235/40 for the rears, and 17x8 +38 with a 225/45 for the fronts.

From what I've read these should be ok.

R32 I assume.

Should be fine.

oh and a quick question nothing wrong with running 17s for front and 18s for rear?

since i dont have unlimited funds i think it would be ideal to get maybe a set of 17x9s and run one pair on the fronts for daily/track

and the other pair for rears for drifting

yeh front will be close to the UCA, bloody close, generally i say 235/45 with a +30 offset is the furthest in id go, 225/45 will protrude 5mm less in, and about 4mm lower, but u have 8mm more offset pulling the tyre in further. so it will definitely be close, and probably come down to the tyre model and individual car as to whether it actually scrubs or not, but nothing a spacer a few mm thick cant fix.

my bet is that it will clear, but no guarantees on that one.

    • Unfortunately haven’t taken pics yet after it was finished. All the edges are hemmed nicely, just had to cut holes for the gear shifter and seat bolts and seat belt bolts in the rear. The molds seem like they’re done with steam and a layer of glue on the underside to hold a bit of shape but still soft enough that it’s a good fit when it’s all pressed down.
    • When's the rear mounted turbo kit coming? Needs dose and V8 chop idle lol.
    • I was very unimpressed with how the car came up from the A pillar forward, before I hit things (twice). It all has to go. It had to go, but now it has to go... more. So we finally found the very first Shennanigans with the entirely perfectly setup engine that had no problems being pulled apart to improve on 'was perfectly fine'. Cam bearings looked a bit... stock. Which isn't entirely bad given they were stock and this is a ~20 year old engine. So new cam bearings are on the way because it's somewhat difficult to get to this stage to do it later, and it will trash the block. It was quite unusual that it wasn't done when the perfectly new-looking VCM cam was originally installed by [unknown] What IS unusual is the cam that was installed there was advanced SIX degrees. As to why there is no way to know.. however it could have been @Dose Pipe Sutututu's mate who wanted a larger cam sound but also wanted it to come on earlier to be more usable. This is my dyno sheet with the previous setup - This cam is not supposed to peak until 7000+ RPM, according to VCM. This is what lead me down the whole 'my heads/intake setup is running out of puff and can't support the cam' line of thinking to begin with. Anyway too late now - New cam is in! It could be rather funny if this smaller cam acts like a larger cam because it isn't advanced six degrees. In the spirit of everything is working amazingly - the COMP cam required no dialling in whatsoever. It was about 0.5 degrees advanced, which seems pretty bang on. Any adjustment either way would be further out. I'm told as a chain breaks in it ends up regarding back about 0.5 a degree as the chain breaks in, making it bang on. In the spirit of everything was previously working amazingly - The timing gear that was taken out turned out to be was an N-Motion double timing chain kit, with adjustable cam gear (which is how it was 6 degrees advanced) and all looks entirely perfectly new. It also had a Torrington bearing, which was one of the reasons I ended up getting the Cloyes kit which they used in the C5R 24 hour racecar - Because I couldn't confirm what was in the engine when talking to Tony Mamo. I did believe however it was a Double chain kit of some kind... but found no supporting documentation or evidence for it.
    • I recently did this to my R33 with the full set from Car Mats Direct, they can't do the vinyl anymore that's advertised on the website due to a supplier issue so I ended up with the Black Loop Pile which looks great. I went all out with rubber sound deadening sheets from Repco and also added the sound deadening foam layer option with the carpet. Makes a world of difference and got rid of all the weird smells in the 29 year old interior. It was a bit of work but I'd 100% recommend it, Car Mats Direct had awesome customer service and quick postage. Replaced my seats with some sporty ones from Autotechnia while I was at it, feels like a new car.
