8.5 in front and 9.5 at the back....

Calculator says

"The clearance from stut housing to the inside of the wheel will be 7mm MORE

The outside edge of the wheel will EXTEND an extra 33mm"

And

"The clearance from stut housing to the inside of the wheel will be 5mm LESS

The outside edge of the wheel will EXTEND an extra 45mm"

respectively i still dont understand..

does it mean it sticks out by 3.3 cm and 4.5 cm?

it means, fronts wheels stick out 3.3cm, and rears 4.5cm from whatever you punched in as "original" rims

Youll have to look on your car to see where the edge of the rim will sit in relation to the guards,

some guard rolling or light flaring may be required, but I really don't know with r34's.

will these fit or do you need to roll the guards?

i understand i need +38

i will be runnning nismo rims with +35 offset +10 to 15mm spacers on the rear of my r33 very soon (as soon as the rims come from japan)

i let you know how it goes.. alot of people talk about you cant run +20ish* offset on an r33 but seeing a s13 running r33 gtr wheels + 10mm spacers on the rear without flaring leans me to belived that i can do it on the r33

(ps i cant find a photo right now of the car im talking about but this is a similar style)

I did a trial fit of my 17x9" +20 BBS track rims I was using with my 33 GTR on my new 33 GTST. . . . . no chance. Needed more than rolling the guards to make them fit. Only tried the front, didn't get around to the rear. . . . Not sure what the offset is on standard 33 GTR rims but they fit, just.

on my r32 gts-t

this is what 18x10 +11 offset rims look like, so use the calculator to see how you'd go.

mine are stock rear guards with flaring.

also, the fronts in that picture are where r32 gtr rims will sit on stock front gts-t guards. 16x8 +30 offset

hope this helps!

      Yup. You can get creative and make a sort of "bracket" with cable ties. Put 2 around the sender with a third passing underneath them strapped down against the sender. Then that third one is able to be passed through some hole at right angles to the orientation of the sender. Or some variation on the theme. Yes.... ummm, with caveats? I mean, the sender is BSP and you would likely have AN stuff on the hose, so yes, there would be the adapter you mention. But the block end will either be 1/8 NPT if that thread is still OK in there, or you can drill and tap it out to 1/4 BSP or NPT and use appropriate adapter there. As it stands, your mention of 1/8 BSPT male seems... wrong for the 1/8 NPT female it has to go into. The hose will be better, because even with the bush, the mass of the sender will be "hanging" off a hard threaded connection and will add some stress/strain to that. It might fail in the future. The hose eliminates almost all such risk - but adds in several more threaded connections to leak from! It really should be tapered, but it looks very long in that photo with no taper visible. If you have it in hand you should be able to see if it tapered or not. There technically is no possibility of a mechanical seal with a parallel male in a parallel female, so it is hard to believe that it is parallel male, but weirder things have happened. Maybe it's meant to seat on some surface when screwed in on the original installation? Anyway, at that thread size, parallel in parallel, with tape and goop, will seal just fine.

      How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSPT male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSPT reducing bush? I am making the assumption the OEM sender is BSPT not BSPP/BSP

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use

      I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.

      You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.
