heres the for sale ad of some rims im after....

"To suit R33GTST and R34 GTT, and possibly R32 GTST(will also fit S14 or S15 Silvia)

Details and image below:

2 x 18x8" with 235/40/18 Nankang's (front) 5x114.3 stud pattern

2 x 18x9" with 265/35/18 Nankang's (rear) 5x114.3 stud pattern

* has minor gutter rash on outer lips which can be machined/polished

Not sure of the exact offset but the entire set were a specific fitment for R33 GTST. I've been told they will also fit the above mentioned cars too."

will these be the correct offset for a stagea if they fit a 33 gts-t???? will they stick in or out the gaurds and by how much?

any info appreciated

Brad

do me a favor

find out the offsets of hte wheels and i can tell ya!

offsets are my specialty lol

yeah

the problem is, what people say fits are a few different things

some people say this fits

(kinda does but not perfect)

i say this fits

but then some think this fits

i personally on a stagea would be going after the last fitment

mainly becuase to roll the fenders ont eh rear will make an UGLY little dimple where the door frame area is.

those wheels in the last pic on a S13 with no spacers was a 16x8 +10 offset.

most people say that +30 "fits"

Brad, My old rims were 18 by 9 on the rear and 18 by 8 on the front the offset was +40 and they fitted, Mind you on the rear the tyres were stretched on so the tyre wall was on an angle, but im not sure if this was because the tyre would have hit the inner gaurd.

anyone know if staggered wheels are a bad idea with the attessa or are they ok if they are within a certain percentage of each other (profile wise im talking)???? i read within 5% of eath other is fine?

Not a good idea apparently Brad, even worn tyres on the rear (same rim sizes) has been know to effect the system in the past as far as I have read on this forum, search and you may find...

You might get away with it but I wouldn't risk it personally.

Ok so I did the searchy thing...

The ATTESSA handles different tyre diameters due to wear ie; you can have barely legal tyres on one end and brand new tyres on the other end. That's a 6 mm difference in radius, 12 mm in diameter and 37 mm in circumference. That's covers most width profile differences easily.

Real world, my Stagea doesn't like 225/50/16's on one end and 245/40/17's on the other end. After less than 1/2k driving in a straight line, the ATTESSA started to shudder. I had to turn the steering wheel (for imaginary corners) to stop the shudder. I must have looked like a lunatic, warming the tyres up driving down the freeway.

:) cheers :)

So if it is an extreme difference it might be an issue, or if it is minimal it may never be a problem.

(Simon, when did you have different wheels? I thought the current wheels were on the Stagea when Chris imported it?)

Cheers

Luke

thanks guys, yes mine has gtr tf case now and the gtr one is better but it wouldnt have no effect on anything to do with the rims differences only when pushing the limits of the car with big power would the gtr one be benificial over the stagea one.

I honestly dont believe that staggered wheels would do much damage at all if any, as long as the heights of the wheels are all the same!

Actually come to think of it on the wheels i have on now ive got different width tyres and i have still had no problems

Nice Simon, nice,

I did like your old rims a lot, the mesh style really suited the car.

(yeah sorry Brad)

A rude awakening? We will all be jumping around like monkeys on smack, I'm sure... :no:

its just weird seeing sunken wheels....maybe il get used to it

    • @666DAN sorry to bring you and old thread.     I've got my de+t done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.    Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd when selected . But nothing when in  drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic. I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Do ya have any ideas?     Cheers man
    • Well I recently changed my rear axles and was thinking if I bumped anything, I have been driving the car for a while now though... But it has been raining today so everything is wet under the wheel arches. Brakes feel fine and can't hear any of the metal screamers, I had a squeak coming from one of the handbrake drums but that seems to have gone away a while ago. I was going down a hill when it lit up and I did feel the abs bite for a second and question why it did it?
    • Correct. Um. I dunno. I haven't cared enough about the way that the NA cars work to know for sure. But..... The 33/34 turbo manual cars have an electronic speed sensor in the gearbox that outputs a +/- (ie, sawtooth AC) voltage signal. That is connected to the speedo. The speedo then outputs a 0-5v square wave (ie, PWM) signal that the ECU (and any other CU on the bus) sees. The speed sensor is NOT directly connected to the ECU. So here's the problem. Your new ECU expects to see the PWM signal, but must somehow be getting a direct signal from the diff speed sensor. Which would suggest that the wiring of the NA car is not the same as the turbo cars. I think you will need to spend some time with (hopefully the wiring diagram for the car) and a multimeter to see what is connected to what. Then, presuming I am correct**, you would then want to separate the ECU speed signal input from the rest of the car's wiring, and probably either buy a speed signal converter, or build one using an arduino (or similar). That would take in the speed sensor signal and output a scaled (and suitably rearranged) signal for the ECU. ** We shouldn't presume that I am correct here, because there might be something else crazy going on. I don't think you could convert the speedo to be fed from the gearbox sensor, because the pulse rate from that sensor is probably different to the diff sensor and then the speedo would read wrongly. And this also wouldn't fix the ECU's problem either, because the ECU doesn't want to see the gearbox signal direct either (assuming that they are all on the same wiring, for some odd NA related reason, see above caveat!) Does this help? Probably not. Can you make it work? Almost certainly. With the above work. You should buy a handheld oscilloscope from Aliexpress so that you can view these signals directly. Connect up the probes and drive the car. Show photos of the screen when drving at known speeds and connected to different places, and we'll see what we can learn about it.
    • Assuming your brake pads are not worn right down, I'd add a little brake fluid. Is there any sign of a brake fluid leak?
    • Hello all,  I need of some help. On my drive home my handbrake light lit up and started flashing. When I got home I checked my handbrake sensor under the centre console and nothing seemed out of the ordinary. I have scanned my car via the consult port, no codes shown. Checked my brake fluid as well which is half full. Tried unplugging the brake master but it didn't change anything. Thoughts on what it could be? The master float doesn't seem to be stuck. My car is an 1998 ER34 sedan GT. No hicas but has ABS Photos below 👇🏾
