What stock rims 16" & 17",any make and model of car,will fit the rear of an r33.

And do any of these require spacers.

Atm i have paid for the sau drift day and i have a set of tyres that need rims due to the fact of there not being any tyre changer there on the day.But i cant use them unless i get some rims to mount them on.

I have a pair of stockers but i have a feeling they wont last all day.plus it would be good to know what cars have the same style of rims that are able to be interchanged.

Another reason also is i dont want to pay exuberant prices for a set of rims that might see their day.

The falcon ones definately fit, i dummied one onto my gtst and used it for a real spare for my trip to perth, just dont get the steelies coz they dont clear the brakes, gotta be alloys

Hey, as dissapointed as i was for having to put a falcon rim on my car, was better than a space saver, and if you pry the badge out with a screwdriver, its just another alloy

Another thing i learnt was to go to tyre joints and ask for second hand tyres, i got a tyre, fitted and balanced for 20 because they only had one, 60% tread

The 17" supra wheels are 9.5" for the rears with an offset of +50. Fronts are 8" wide with same offset of +50 and they'll clear the 4 pot brakes.

with +50 offset chances are they wont fit at both the front and rear without spacers (UCA and rear tie rod end), some 25mm spacers all round would do the trick.

      Yup. You can get creative and make a sort of "bracket" with cable ties. Put 2 around the sender with a third passing underneath them strapped down against the sender. Then that third one is able to be passed through some hole at right angles to the orientation of the sender. Or some variation on the theme. Yes.... ummm, with caveats? I mean, the sender is BSP and you would likely have AN stuff on the hose, so yes, there would be the adapter you mention. But the block end will either be 1/8 NPT if that thread is still OK in there, or you can drill and tap it out to 1/4 BSP or NPT and use appropriate adapter there. As it stands, your mention of 1/8 BSPT male seems... wrong for the 1/8 NPT female it has to go into. The hose will be better, because even with the bush, the mass of the sender will be "hanging" off a hard threaded connection and will add some stress/strain to that. It might fail in the future. The hose eliminates almost all such risk - but adds in several more threaded connections to leak from! It really should be tapered, but it looks very long in that photo with no taper visible. If you have it in hand you should be able to see if it tapered or not. There technically is no possibility of a mechanical seal with a parallel male in a parallel female, so it is hard to believe that it is parallel male, but weirder things have happened. Maybe it's meant to seat on some surface when screwed in on the original installation? Anyway, at that thread size, parallel in parallel, with tape and goop, will seal just fine.

      How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSPT male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSPT reducing bush? I am making the assumption the OEM sender is BSPT not BSPP/BSP

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use

      I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.

      You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.
