hi all,

i've got a set of 18 by 8's front and rears for my R33 GTST with 235/40's. Am about to purchase a set of 15mm hubcentric spacers, and was wondering if the fronts and 25mm ones for the rear would still sit inside the guards after this. any help is appericiated.

Thanks :)

EDIT: forgot to say it's been lowered bout 40mm

EDIT again: Just found out that i can only get the 15mm's for the fronts only. say if i get 20 or 25mm ones for the rear, would that still be okay as well ?

That would effectively make the offset +25 on the front and +20 on the back. It depends on how much camber you run to clear the guards. You said your car is lowered 40mm. If you havn't corrected this, you should have about 1.5deg? With that, you should just clear the guards, will probly need to lip them though, and maybe a little bit of flaring.

On the front they should fit, once again, might need to lip them. Shouldn't have to do any flaring though.

yeah as salad has said, ur effective offset would be +25 all round..u could possibly get away with lipping if you stretch 215 or 225 rubber all round..+ camber :laugh:

Oh and just to add...ur spacers will be illegal too in QLD...If u have full comp insurance and were ever involved in an acco *touch wood*...good luck in making ur claim.

    • I was 99% sure the standard one is long enough to get there, you might just have to change the throttle orientation. If not, I remember someone having used an r31 cable instead, but that is probably harder to find than r33 by now...
    • HELP   Hey all, Is there an accelerator cable from another Nissan that can be used on the R33 GTST RB25DET with a Greddy forward facing plenum?  Thanks in advance  Rob 
    • Or do we think it was installed to give 1 bar of boost max, all day, everyday?
    • So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit? 
    • Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!
