Righto, so I got all enthousiastic tonight and decided to take some more snaps...

She needs more low, but I reckon I'll save that for another day when it aint daily driven.

what sizes regs? looks like 17x9 +18?

Haha, nah my offsets aint nearly that tuff!

The trick is to fit correct size tyres for the rims (235/45 and 255/40 here) and also make sure the camber isn't too negative.

They're 17 x 8 + 35 with 235/45 fronts, still at around -2 degrees camber though, and 17 x 9 + 38 with 255/40 and -0.5 degrees on the rear.

I'd prefer to have the fronts more flush too, but this setup gives me less scrub as a daily driver (even with rolled guards)

Oh, and I'd heard that Regamasters were pretty light, but I was amazed once I actually had the old rubber off them.

I didn't have any scales handy, but I reckon they'd be lucky to be 4kg per rim!

thats a massive tyre.. spose you want good traction or something

Haha, I aint no drifter. I have a spare set of Dunlop semi slicks stored under covers for special occasions! :thumbsup:

On another note, I think we met ages back on a V.I.C. cruise to Arthurs Seat. I have Advan Tri-spokes back then.

Jap_star, love your genuine TE's... no Vaarstoen copy there!

I've just always wanted 235's and 255's to perfectly match 8's and 9's... get the same style tyre sidewall etc.

Oh, I almost forgot. How the hell do you attach a full pic like yours? All mine come out like thumbnails!

You can always go 275/40 :whistling: lol

Hey guys i just picked up my first skyline a few weeks ago, thought id post up some pics. Fairly stock, just pod/exhaust and a bride seat with a boost guage. Loving the car and looking into doing a few mods soon. :teehee:

Looks mint mate, congrats :thumbsup:

Cheers, yeah im thinking of getting rims next, i really like the TE37's haha, i like the stance you got there with your car. Whats the general consensus on sizes and offsets for a r33 without rolling the guards, kinda of a broad question but i wouldnt mind some feedback on what you think for mine.Ive been reading about staggered fitts? just unsure of the offsets really.

Cheers Josh

Well alot of people will tell you that you cant go bigger than 9.5" on the back and 8.5" on the front. But mine are 10" on the back and 9" on the front with no guard rolling (as you can see in the picture)

However, mine has a little camber from the lowered springs, and they are 17's where as most people prefer 18's

But I look at my car in pictures like this one and think 17's are enough :D

(There are 255's on the back in this pic though lol)

    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
