My car now with sideskirts, alloy radiator and i also rewired and tried to hide a few wiring looms (stock boost control solenoid, my alarm and the loom that sits near the left hand side strut tower, looks much cleaner now.

Sorry the pics arent the best.

Here's my GTR with a few new mods I've done since buying it. Going to try winding the coilovers down a bit to get the tyre a bit closer to the guard for a tougher stance, but might put the stock plastic front lip on first to save smashing the carbon one!

Bad day for pics, bad light and cloud doesn't show the Midnight Purple or the bronze of the Volks too well......but you get the idea! Will get some better ones with the new ride height.

Hey mate

At the moment im running 18x8" +28 offset with Toyo T1R 225/40/r18 fronts 18x9" +30 offset with Toyo T1R 255/35/r18 rears,these widths,offsets and tyre size are what Work recomends for our cars, they fit perfect, i have the rear of the car pretty low and the tyre clears the gaurd by about 2mm, but to be honest i reckon the widths and offsets are pretty crap, both the front and back wheels dont have enough dish (in my opinion) and the front wheels stick inside the gaurds to much for my liking, if i were you i would go for 18 x 9" +30 on all for corners (i have tried my 9" rear wheels on the front and they fit perfect but the tyre is a bit to big so it would scrape the gaurd if it was to low), so a 225 or 235 stretched on there would be perfect and you wouldnt have to roll your gaurds or modify anything.

Im actually thinking of selling my wheels and getting another set but 18x9 +30 with 225 or 235 tyres for the front and 18x10 +38 with possibly 255's (i would have to see what size tyres would fit well) for the rear, i would have to roll the lip on the rear guards to make the 10" wheels fit ofcourse, that would make the car look so much better in my opinion ,the 18x10 have a 73mm lip which would look awsome :/

Anyway i hope that helps for when you choose your sizes :(

Cheers for the comments everyone!

Clean and 'stealthy' looking mate... this is the style I like - simple... no stickers, RICE etc. Nice.

I would however, get bigger rims - but besides that looks nice and clean.

And oh, 1 more thing... definitely put the matt-black original lip back on - the CB one looks ghey!!

    • This sounds like someone who would have owned an R33 in their past... It's okay, I'm 100% picking up what you're putting down Mark.
    • Just back on what was raised about jacking off the the tow/tie down point on the front of cars. I've used it plenty. I've also watched it on a car where you could see it move the front end of the car. It was like the front end/whole car being tweaked and twisted a bit. I will say, I struggle to find good jacking points on MOST cars. The ones that have good points, I then normally struggle to find a jack tall enough to make the car change height!   One of my go to points for either the jack, or the axel stands though, is either a suspension pickup point, OR a subframe to chassis major bolting point. I actually think its the subframe on my R33 that has a bit of a bend in it, from being jacked in the middle too. However, it could have been one of my many other cars I've had over the years! Or it could also be the from me jacking it up, and the fact the top of the front radiator support isn't there, so it can allow the front of the car to move and bend etc.
    • My apologies. I forgot we were talking about weird beard M series stuff. Had been talking elsewhere with someone about an R33 with similar subject and got confused.
    • Nope, I don't like the look of ND RF, or any ND really, I don't like their faces or arses, why, because of their "modern" lines, the NC, whilst "modernish" has a more rounded shape that I like Well, that's how my overly judgemental eyes see it anyway  
    • Should be more than fine, especially the overall fuel pressure would never exceed 3.5bar (assuming that thing never gets more than 0.5bar of boost in stock form). According to the chart, it's 11amps.
