Well i have finally decided to spend some money on some 17" wheels.

I have had my eye on some for a while now - AMG Matrix Chromies. (Dodgy scan attached)

So hopefully i will get them within the next week or so. The only hurdle i have is Bob Jane (or there finance company) have to approve my finance for them. But that should be sweet.

Anyways im really happy as the stock rims are really letting my car down at the moment. Should be getting new lowered suspension in the next few weeks as well.

A question. The rims are 17" x 7.5"....... I want 245s on the rear and 235s on the front. Will 245s fit on the rear? The guy said it will stuff up my speedo/ odometer etc??? I didnt think that was right.

Yeah I know the colour you mean Adam but the Matrix only chome in Silver or Chrome. The ROH Adreneline com in shadow chrome but every second car has those rims nowdays

Anyways.....

Not getting chrome anymore because they wont have them for a few months so i am just getting silver. Oh well they are easier to maintain. They are coming from the eastern states so hopefully they will be in on Friday.

Incidentally one fo the guys that works at Bob Janes WRX was parked out the front (always is) ....... runs 12.2sec 1/4 mile :burnout:

Anyways im happy :cool:

      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?

      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.
