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.

    • I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.
    • Stop looking at the garage floor, and turn the radio up a bit louder if there's any strange noises...
    • No. Turbo shuffle and surge/flutter are not the same thing. Specifically, on a GTR, turbo shuffle has a definite meaning. On a GTR, the twin turbos are assumed to be the same thing and to operate the same way, exactly. In reality, they do not. Their exhaust sides are fed and exhaust a little differently, to each other. Their inlet sides are fed and exhausted a little differently, to each other. Consequently, when they are "working" they are often at slightly different points on the compressor map compared to each other. What this means, particularly when coming on boost, is that one of them will spool up and start producing extra flow compared to the other, which will put back pressure on that other compressor, which will push the operating point on that other compressor up (vertically). This will generally result in it bumping up against the surge line on the map, but even if it doesn't, it upsets the compressor and you get this surging shuffle back and forth between them That is "turbo shuffle" on a GTR. It is related to other flutter effects heard on other turbo systems, but it is a particular feature of the somewhat crappy outlet piping arrangement on RB26s. There are plenty of mods that have been attempted with varying levels of success. People have ground out and/or welded more material into the twin turbo pipe to try to prevent it. Extending the divider inside it works, removing material doesn't. There are aftermarket replacement twin turbo pipes available, and these exist pretty mush purely because of this shuffle problem.
    • You can temporarily* use lock collars to keep it in place until you can do the bushes, back the nuts off, slide them in, snug back up. *temporarily is often for ever
    • Thanks for the quick reply. To be clear, when you say turbo shuffle do you mean turbo flutter "stustustu" or referring to something else? I had thought they were the same thing. When I wrote the post my intention was to say it wasn't a flutter/compression surge sound. My understanding was that a flutter sound would be occurring when throttle is released, whereas I can keep the throttle in the same position for this noise
