Yeah trust me, I've been there before..fell in love with a set of wheels, spent many weeks searching on yahoo auctions for it, finally found it, took me more than 9 weeks to get it here..then found out it didn't clear calipers, tried slip on spacers..dodgy..had custom made bolt on spacers...made my wheels vibrate at high speeds...in the end gave up and sold the wheels and bought ones that fitted nicely...

My high speed vibration were fixed with a simple wheel alignment and balance. No more vibrations at all :)

I Had spacers on my R33 when I bought it, and the standard studs on it only did up a few turns.....not enough thread. I ended up getting engineerd longer studs for the front to make it safe. Also they shaved the Nissan off on the front brakes to make clearence........bloody fags!.....don't go to LA performance in VIC.

and only a year ago I bought a set of Volk GT-C's 18inchs for my line and the fit was perfect....the right offset.

filled the guards and looked heaps better too!

don't use the wrong offset wheels.

sorry to hi jack this thread i just got a set of 18 inch gmax rims on my line. they seem to fit but the only problem is that there is a tiny clearance between the front brakes and rim (gap is 1.5 to 2mm). should i be worried?

Not at all, if there is a gap theres a gap, if it does not scrape then u have no problem. The wheel stays a fixed distance so aslong as it has some clearance there is no problem...

Spacers are illegal. I don't like that idea personally. Get soneone to hop in car and have it roll past you while you stand on the side of the road. If you hear is scraping then you have an issue. Get someone to profile the word nissan down like 0.5mm to be safe if you want.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
