Still for sale.

Just curious.. I have been trying to follow this thread a bit. I have a R-34 GT-R Vspec on the boat heading out to me from Japan to USA... These are the rim's i want. Is this offset too much to use without Spacers?? I'd rather get a set of rims that does not need spacers.. if they do need them what offset would i need that wouldnt touch... a +15?

Hey Mark,

Yes, because they don't quite fit over my front calipers on an R33 GT-R, they won't clear yours either, unfortunately, without spacers. I have bought some slip-on spacers that I can give you if you bought these wheels, which allow the rim to still sit on the spigot (hub) and not on the bolts alone. Like you though, I preferred not to put spacers on the car.

I do know someone who has an R34 GT-R and, like me, he got a bit screwed by the person he bought the rims from, and was given the wrong disk type. He runs spacers on the car though and hasn't had a problem so far. He has 19" versions of the same Volk GT-Cs.

So check out the Rays Engineering website, which lists the three different disk types. +12 should actually be okay for an 18x10" rim on a GT-R, it's just the disk type which means the inside of the spokes interferes with the calipers. Otherwise they would be fine, so I'm told; they wouldn't require guard-rolling nor would they scrub on full lock.

Cheers,

Matt

nah they wont

They'll easily fit if you run stretched tyres, roll all guards and a slight flare on the rear, 2.5 deg neg camber on front.

These would look tough as f**k on a R33 GTS-t

Thanks guys. Yeah AFAIK there are ways of making these fit on a GTS-t but as Hypnotik said it would take a bit of modification.

Cheers

      Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga

      yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By MBS206 · Posted

      From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
