Hey guys looking to get some lmgt4s for my r33 gtst but just need to know what width front and back and what offset front and back I should be getting.

I thought I'd jump queue and go straight here instead of cosmetic section. You guys know what your talking about so let rip :banana:

It's running on the stock breaks and I'm looking at 18" rims.

Thanks guys! :banana:

Are the 18's going to be that big of a problem?

No they won't. I bought these.... Nismo LMGT4's

Front: 18x8.5 (+30)

Rear: 18x9.5 (+38)

In terms of tyres I put 235's on the front and 255's on the back. I've lowered my car a little and I had minor scrubbing on the front and back. Fixed the back with very little guard lipping and fixed the front 90% by raising just a tad (still lower than stock). The fronts will only scrub on or right near full lock when going across bumpy roads or up really awkward driveways. I left them on for a track day once (at Wakefield) and had no issues whatsoever.

Top choice :banana:

Buy 18s .. Look better.. RUbber isnt that much

Get the above set staggered like above but run a +32 offset on the front will let them sit in a little more and not scrub.

Rears +36 .. Like below

Front: 18x8.5 (+32)

Rear: 18x9.5 (+36)

Enjoy

Those are the ones I'm after :D Fell in love with them at first sight...

Not too keen on the rubbing side of things tho haha

So those offsets will let me avoid the rubbing problem mentioned above??

I'm going to import them as opposed to buying them in oz for price reasons so I need the offsets to be exactly what I need. No just taking them back to the shop :P

How much will a tyre set me back on the 18's? And the +32 will clear the brake calliper?

I can't comment on the front offset but for me, the scrubbing at the front is negligible.

As for tyres, start ringing around. They vary a lot in price depending on brand/type. It really depends on how fussy you are. The more expensive ones can easily cost you around $1500 for a set but you can get a lot cheaper than that. Search the wheel/tyre threads. I know there's something in there were people compared brands and costs. That's what I used!

Cheers man. Looks like I'll be going your offsets. As far as I know they don't even come in the offsets the other guys mentioned.

    • Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win? 
    • So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?
    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
    • Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.
    • Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks
