Hello warm weather freaks...

After some suggestions for where to get tyres and wheels (in canberra or syd)

for my R33.

If you know my ride, I have to get some power down at the rear, What width do tyres go to ? I'm looking at 18' or 19' and can see around the 8 / 9s and 9.5 -

are there 10s or higher etc (just asking)

Thanks for your help

Cheers

Goldie

R33 Gtst's can accomodate up to 9.5 - 10 inch wide rims pretty easily under the rear (assuming that you get the right offset), if you are having trouble with traction try choosing a tyre with a better compound / traction rating over just going wider.

If you have a really wide sh_t tyre for example it wont help you get more traction over a really good tyre in a slightly narrower size, most of your traction comes from having a really good tread design and compound and a really well built tyre casing.

My suggestion, if you want it to look really good and get great traction is:

18 x 9.5 +40 - +42 offset with 265/35R18 Federal 595RS-R rear

and

18 x 8 +35 - +38 offset with 235/40R18 Federal 595RS-R front

Speak with the boys at Trojan Motorsport in Mitchell and they can organise some really sweet lightweight Jap wheels or Jax Fyshwick if you want something a bit cheaper (but not lightweight Jap wheels) to get them locally.

I hope this helps :D

yeah i got those federals on my car they are saweet

as for rims...have a look around...really worth trying to find somewhere that can do a genuine jap rim as the enthusiasts will pick it and id rather a comment like "nice rays" than "nice chromies" makes you know your car is appreciated by the right people :D

i'm currently trying to find some genuine equips for mine. i think thats what the guy of here (cant remember name) with the chaser has...man they are hot rims

but yeah...deff federals.

tis I.. yea genuine japanese wheels are the shit... nothing suits a JDM car better than JDM wheels.

also, i think you will be lucky to find a local wheel place that will have over an 8inch wide rim, i think the law only allows 7.5 or something along those lines so if you want anything thicker you will have to get it either from japan or second hand off someone who got it from japan like i did

my wheels are Work Equip 18x8.5+28 225/40 rubber on the front and 18x9.5+41 265/35 rubber on the rears.. looks tough.. love it

    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
    • Yes sir am asking is there possible way from aem tuner from wiring pins 
    • Have you checked cam to crank timing and confirmed balancer marks are correct?
