Hi all

I just fitted some volk rims onto my r33 but when i drive the front right hand side is making a really bad grinding metal on metal noise... I know the offsets arent rite but i got a workshop to fit them with some spacers. It doesnt look like there is much clearance on the studs as well. The nuts hold the tyres in.. i just dont think its secure as there wasnt much of the stud left after spacers were put in. So any1 got any suggestions?? Really wanting to keep these rims as they are nice.. So i was thinking, get longer studs put on them?... Grind off the nissan on the brake caliper n see if thats the problem... or get rid of them altogether and get ones that fit properly... (last resort tho).. I want this car outta my driveway.. so any help asap would be great

I just want these god dam things to fit :D

Any1 who can help with fitting them... $$ will be paid..

Cheers

    • Have you done your thinking backwards? 3 bar, 43.5 psi pressure drop being the presumed specification for an injector, means you need 3 bar upstream when they are firing into atmospheric pressure, and more upstream pressure than that when on boost (you add your boost to your rail pressure to maintain 3 bar across the injector) and you need..... less pressure upstream when you have vacuum in the manifold. So, presuming that you're idling at -10 psi, then you only need ~23 psi in the rail. I realise that I did not need to say all of that to you specifically Matt, once you'd realised your mistake. It's mostly there for complete clarity for others.
    • Have you reached out to the guys at Spool Imports? They are a Ross dealer, I can imagine they would have the rings just sitting on the shelf (I could be wrong).  
    • There's one for sale at Grand Auto Wreckers in Lonsdale (SA), for .... let's suggest the sum they're asking for will make you cry. You may have to embrace the idea of modifying the rear subframe to accept some other diff. You could probably find a way to wangle a shortnose into there, with a custom rear adapter and some sort of shenanigans to relocate the front mounts. This has probably already been done by others, so there might be some guidance available as to how easy/impossible it is, out there in the googles. But you possibly needn't restrict yourself to Nissan diffs if you're going to contemplate that. There are similarish Toyota diffs, possibly some Euro ones, possibly some Seppo ones.
    • The ball joint taper and arm taper have to match angle and diameter, but just doing the bushes is a much better option.....seems like the industry moved to "it is cheaper to replace the whole arm than take on the labour for changing this bushes", glad the aftermarket supports it
    • Gee she looks a bit rear heavy in that first pic! Sounds like a great project with the kids, but as I guess you know R series stuff is getting hard to find and pre that is pretty much impossible these days
