Ok now have i missed something....?

Where was i when it was decided that rims and tyres that stick way out side the gaurd was cool and a good thing???

Apart from the obvious, massive rubbing over bumps, defectable etc etc it looks stupid. (thats just in my opionion of course)

Who started this trend and why would you do it for!

what do you guys and girls think??

end rant! :devil:

I don't see anything wrong with it. With the Stagea above, I wouldn't want anything more 'sunkin' in.

For me, I want the wheels to be even with the guards, anything less is :devil: in my opinion.

i agree even with the gaurds, wider the better! but not to the point they move outside of the gaurd!

I don't mind the wheels going outside of the guards on some cars. On skylines, I prefer the wheels to be flush with the rolled guards and on silvias I like the wheels sticking out at least an inch from the standard guards, but then I would flare them out.

It really depends on what car it is.

If it sticks out, it needs flares to make it even again.

Yeah, you need flaring done if the wheels are purposely made to stick out. If you're talking about not flaring and just making the wheels stick out 2", I find that stupid as well.

agreed the stagea up top looks ghey cause stagea's are very slab sided.. to get away with the look on one of those you would need to massage the gaurds out

i think the wheels sitting slightly out of the gaurds looks f**kING GOOD, but to pull it off you need stretched tyres to keep the treads under the gaurd itself, and maybe some slight flaring too

It gives the car a wider, meaner, tougher stance IMO....also means you can have wider wheels :domokun:

how does having wider wheels help when they have smaller tyres anyway?

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
