Hey guys, im on the prowl for some new tyres for my line....i have an r33 coupe, and to put it short, a special deal is going on for a couple of Bridgestone S-02 PP N3's (285/35/18).

I need to know 3 things:

1) Will 285's fit under the guards (rear) of my r33 w/o too much problems?will i need to camber the rears

2) Will my 9.5" rear rim size be fine for the 285 tyres (currently on 265's)

3) Will i benefit from going 265 - 285, other than the fact im going from el cheapo Kumho's to Bridgestone Pole Position's, will i get better off the line traction?

4) Sorry had to add last question, most importantly would you reccomend these tyres for the street, for a lighlty modded r33 gtst skyline, hardly ever goes on the track.

cheers for all that reply!

firstly,

What are ur stock tyre profiles?

What tyres will you be running on the fronts if you chose 285/35?

Going from 265/35 to 285/35 will increase your overall diameter (14mm approx) If GSTSs came stock with 17s or 16s, would possibly throw ur speedo a fair way out.

Also whether they will foul ur guards will depend on what wheel offset u have on the rears...+38 to +35 you "should be fine".

I would stick to 265s personally

Hey nsta, go the 285 it will give better traction off the line and they look great from behind. I have the 285s on the back of my R33 no camber, no rolled guards. I say go for it. If for some reason they dont fit your car im sure they can take them off its just like going shopping for clothes, try them on.

and mate sorry i cant get any pics at the moment of the 285s.

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
