Ive got Nismo LMGT3s on my 32GTR. 17 x 10" and they clear my F50 brembos with about 3-4mm gap and just fit inside the guards (you cant fit your hand on top of the front tyres). Any bigger than this i reckon youd need to roll guards

ok guys i found a set of Volk F-Zero Challenge rims in 18x8 at the front and 18x9 at the back, i've asked a few people who deal with imports etc about the offset because the rears are +45, but i'm not sure of the fronts, and i got told that should be fine because there's huge amounts of space under there before anything will hit the coilovers. they said i could go for an 18x10 with a slightly smaller offset and still not have to worry about any hitting or guard rolling. anyone got any comments/experience they wanna share?

yeah i know. i've already got 235/45's for the front so going 265/40's on the back will be a perfect match. if all else fails i'll just do 235/45's all round, it won't make any difference, they should still fit up nicely. i was more concerned about the offset than anything. as long as the fronts are somewhere between about +25 and +35 i should be fine. and considering the rears are +45 i can't imagine the fronts being any smaller than +30.

anyone have any objections to the +45? lol. according to the offset calculator they'll only stick out 6mm further than the standard rim but will be 20mm closer on the inside cause the standard offset is +38 for the 8" wide gtr rims right? sorry to harp guys, its just that i'm looking to pick these rims up tomorrow and hope to not have any fitment problems lol. so any advice would be great. thanks.

+45 offset it pretty high and 20mm LESS inside clearance would be a problem I would assume. I agree with SoFly, get something in the +20's range or even less for that width.

If that's what you want though, trial fit.

You didn't mention the width of the wheels (offest and width work hand in hand to determine fitment and stance), but I can tell you that I'm 99% sure that they're not going to sit flush the guards at all... They'll sit in the guards and won't look as good as proper offset wheels.

Look for +22 offset in a 9" wheel for good fitment on an R32 GTR.

read what I wrote before. If you don't know what your doing when it comes to offset its going to look stupid and defect magnet. IMO If you put on +35 or greater the rim is going to stick out plus rubber. Its going to look tough but also stupid at the same time if you know what i mean. Also you prob going to need spacers if you get the wrong offset that is also crap and extra money. If you put smaller wheels on front and bigger on the back that should be ok with GTR but it looks better when its even and better handling as well and not to mention a nightmare to get your wheel alignment sorted out for the x time your chamber will shift so extra money plus have fun selling this set when you plan to upgrade or sell your car. hope that helps.

      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).
