Hey guys, was looking at a set of volk ce28n wheels, 17x10 with a +15 offset (with 235/45 fronts and 265/40 rears) is that too crazy to run on a R33 gts-t, as they are more suited to a GTR? I realise they would sit out the guards to a degree, but too much? I am going for a tough wide/low offset style but not sure on what work would need to be done to fit them. I am prepared to do some work eg. rolling guards/ modifying guard liners etc. and also camber/ castor settings to get them to fit.

Does anybody have any pictures of a R33 Gts-t with these or similar wheel specs, if so please post, and if possible the castor/ camber/ guardwork settings needed.

Any help and/ or pictures aprreciated.

Cheers.

+15 offset, 10in wide, will go a fair bit outside of your guard, you would need to add almost 15mm of guard surely.... that's with out thinking about the tyre or rim rubbing the upright...

What width fronts?

How low are you?

Cheers for the help guys, i was thinking that they may be too low offset. I'm not really interested in putting wider guards etc. on the car, flared rear is a possibility, but yeh not a fan of the flared/vented guards unless i found some GTR guards.. mmm. I think i'll just give the wheels a miss, too much hassle. I'll still look for a tough offset wheel though maybe more around +26ish or some +30 gtr 33 or 34 wheels.

      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.

      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).
