Ok

Im totally aware that there is a guid stickied but im retarded when it comes to understanding offset and all that.

So keeping with my "im gonna get rid of my car" theme ive decided to get some new wheels.

Now i currently own a 93 32 GTS4

Im looking at currently getting some wheels in these possible measurements...

18×9.0J all round

or

18×9.5J all round

These are the two wheels charts of the wheels im looking at... I just need to select which size and offset is the best.

Happy for people to post opinions etc but yeah ultimately looking at a 18x9 or 9.5 all round

Looking to have flush fitment

Ive been told i SHOULD be able to fit 18x9.5 +22 all round(or something similar (with 32 GTR front guards)) with minor lipping/flaring/rolling

I also have 33 GTSt front calipers.

They should fit no problems?

Those widths and offsets should fit pretty nicely on a GTS body with GTR front guards. +12mm will be too much. You'll definitely need a roll maybe even a slight flare with the +22's. I'm not too sure how much wider the front guards are, but I'm pretty sure they won't fit 'properly' under standard guards.

The caliper clearance will depend on the face of the wheel. You can't really depend on the offset to clear it.

^^^ Wrong. 18x9.5 +12 all around will fit fine with rolled and flared guards with stretched tyres.

Do it the Japanese way and buy the wheels and make the car fit them, not buy the wheels to fit the car. Don't be weak...

Will look tough as.

This is what...

18 x 8.5 + 28

18 x 9.5 + 30

... look like on a GTSt.

9.5 +12 all round will be roughly 30mm more aggressive out front and roughly 20mm out the back. It'll fit with some camber and a flare out back. Depends what look you're after.

Then there's this car, 18x10 +18 out back with 225/40/18 Federal's. Roughly the same fitment as 9.5" with +12 offset.

I think abu's car (silver one above) were running 235 tyres.

That give me a much better idea of how things will be.

Hopefully the GTR front Guards will allow me to fit the 9 or 9.5's at the front.

The guards in that picture also look untouched but im still undecided on the 9's or 9.5's

The rears have been rolled and the front are left standard, but the inner guard lining has been taken out.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By Jarsky · Posted

      Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it.

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By Duncan · Posted

      Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)

      I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
