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.

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      So either way it is gearbox out and look what is wrong?  I know about the input shaft bearing. Even before swap/new clutch the it sounded exactly like this: So is that inout shaft bearing or the other was installed backwards?  And can some please tell me the part number for that input shaft bearing? The gearbox is small box from R34 N/A and number is FS5W71C. Thank you

      I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'

      D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.

      KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.

      Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
