I have done a search as much as I can with the slow ass dial up I am currently using and have come to the conclusion that +20 offset in wheels 18x8.5 and 18x9.5 will not fit a R33 Gtst. I have been considering a second hand set of wheels in this sizing and the seller is convinced it will work.

Can an idependant source confirm/deny for me that it wont work without pumping the guards.

Thanks

+20 offset is GTR territory just to confirm.

<----- I've got 18's and they're +38's and fit as expected on a GTSt. (even squeezes 265's on the back which is a 9.5" wide rim).

Ok, I will be able to give you a more definative answer to this real soon as I am trying to fit 19x8.5 and 19x9.5 with +25mm offset. :D But to tell the truth, I am pushing it how it is.

Not quite 20mm offset but close. To tell the truth, I am pushing it how it is.

I have rear guard rub, getting them rolled shortly to see if this stops. And the inner gurds rub when cornering tight turns, looking at trying to remedy these probs.

With a +20mm offset, I doubt you'll fit em as they'll stick out a further 5mm, depending on type of rim and tyres.

I'll let you know how I get on.

Just thought I'd add that my car is lowered 50-60mm on Tein shocks and springs.

Yep, I think you'll be pushing sh#t up hill if you try to fit those suckers on. I am having front guard rub , rear were lipped/rolled and are now fine though. I have a 235/35-19 on the front, I might try a smaller tire (225/35-19 0r 30 profile) to remedy this problem. I really don't want to give up these rims!!

Yeah not going with them now.

Have decided on 35 and 38 offsets. Wont be as deep dish look but will fit.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Reading through the engine service manual their advice is do a cylinder balance test. Unplug one injector at a time and see if the idle drops a consistent RPM. You can also do this using a Consult cable which is easier. They also call for unplugging the power transistor, then with the engine off and the fuel rail unhooked from the manifold verifying that you have good fuel flow (even injection, no dripping/leaks, etc) when you twist the CAS by hand. Also verify the spark by pulling the spark plugs and allowing the plugs to ground and turning the CAS by hand. I would also start doing the sensor checks and idle valve checks in service manual. Make sure the MAF tests reasonably, the intake air regulator is sane, etc. You may have to get new spark plugs.

      This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way

      This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.

      Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
