Dont mind the missing fuel cap :banana: Was getting some paint for my ganadors just wanted to make sure it matched.

New wheels are lenso 19x10's, they have a +17 offset compared to the factory 30 so the wheels come out nicely now.

Thanks to Novak from Empire Aero for these, perfect quick delivery and nice guy to deal with.

Heh yeah I know she sits pretty high, im not fussed but.

Ive lowered heaps of cars in the past but now I prefer to keep the drivability and not have to worry about scraping over the smallest of speed bumps or angles. If the front spoiler didnt hang down lower than the rest of the body id consider dropping a few inches on it.

They are almost the exact wheels im getting! Im only going the 19x8.5" though. I've been waiting for 2 weeks just to find out if i can order the bloody things from the USA...getting over that pretty quick...

Might have a look at where you got yours from.

Very nice mate, looks like a mint GTR,

If that was my car the only other things I'd do externally would be to get a pair of nismo sideskirts or similar in CF to compliment the vspec lip and rear diffuser

and also get some CF ganador mirrors.

But very swoit as it is, lowered GTRs look wrong to me imo, that's just me

what happened to your fuel cap!! nice measurements on the rims though!

:P

as stated he's using the fuel cap to match paint.

looks 6.5-7.5/10... would love to see those rims in full gunmetal grey with a 1.5 inch drop... wheels excluded looks like an extremely nice example!

if your happy im very happy! nice stuff dude clean car all round! :ermm:

Like they say Jenkies you cant judge taste, if everyones was the same it'd be a pretty boring world!

Fuel cap is back on now :ermm: I got some ganadors but im painting them blue, im not really a fan of large carbon pieces. I have a carbon ztune style bonnet but thats getting painted also :D

After that im done with my patrol, then its off to straddie, or something :P

This is just my opinion, as you asked, so don't worry too much...

I think those wheels look like horrible, cheap, Tempe Tyre spec wheels. Definitely not suited to a tough GTR like that, imo some quality Jap wheels would look 100 x better. But hey, just my opinion, so if you're happy with the wheels thats all that matters.

Personally, not a fan of those wheels - reminds me of alot of the "JDM modfied pro racer spec" Honda Civics out there. I would of gone for something thick spokes, possible dish depends or just kept with the standard wheels. I would of also gone for something like shadow chrome, silver, dark bronze or dark grey - single tone; not two tone - would go well with the blue much nicer and be more subtle looking.

Other than that, definitely needs to be lowered - atleast to about just barely above the tyre; preferably have the tyre slightly under the guard. And as someone else mention - sideskirts would compliment the rear diffuser and front lip real nicely. Overall, bar the wheels the car looks mega hot :thumbsup:

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      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?

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      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.
