hey man, how close do you seriously think they'd go to sneaking under the guards of a 33 GTR? i love em, i want em, but i don't really want to start hacking away on the body of my car, it's in mint condition and i wanna leave it that way if i can help it

I think the fronts will fit ok, I think the rears might be stretching the friendship....altho having said that, here's an R33 GTR with 18x11s and it looks fine - obviously offset would be a little more conservative;

passing this ad onto a friend, awesome wheels and even better price.

>> shipping will probably be $50+ per wheel. i got quoted 40 bux per wheel for 15x7" with no tyres from sydney so i imagine these will be more to brisbane and a bigger wheel.

Wheels are still here.

...to those who have PM'd me wanting freight prices I apologise, work has been nuts. I will get prices asap.

Hi Chris,

Let me know when you have a price(s) for shipping to Brisbane ;)

I am still very keen on these rims ;)

Also, a side note for those S13 people out there with 5 stud conversions.. you'll need approx 5" wider rear guards and 3" wider front guards to fit these :P

Regards,

Sherwin

I beg to differ young Sherwin...I test fitted them under the back of my old R32 4 door and I needed to pull the guards out 70mm to clear the rears. Bearing in mind 1 inch = 25.4mm, 70mm = 2.75 inches. In addition, an S13 has bigger rear guards & tubs than an R32 4 door and is also more dish 'friendly' - as it's a coupe and has the full quarter to play with (i.e. no rear doors).

You'll definitely need wide body or flares, but 5 inches is a bit extreme IMHO. Too bad I don't have my S13 anymore to test fit them.

Up ya get!

If they are still there in about a week or so then i'll pick them up.

If anything i'll need spacers to cover up my wheel arches i think i went a bit overboard with my widebody

I used an offset calculator to got those dimensions.. but I was doing it with 3 different rims at the time so I may have them mixed up??

Either way, when you have a price for shipping to Brisbane, Pm me with the payment details :thumbsup:

    • 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       
    • 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).
    • EMU Classic. For what I need it to do I see no reason to upgrade. Link and Haltech would both cost an extra chunk of money for a lot of unutilized features
