Hi Guys,

I had 18inch rims on my 33, and have sold them. I have put back the stockies with 215/60/15 tyres on.

But for some reason the front tyres rubs this. I dont know what its called but heres a pic of it. But when i had the 18's they didnt rub at all.

The thing on top of the wheel looks like it isnt touching the tyre, but it is actually rubbing on the tyre.

anyone had this problem?

this looks like a bracket for your Wishbone "control arm"...

stock rims shouldnt be allowing it to rub on it

some of the R33 rims use 205/55/16 without problems...

try checking the plate at the side of your door...it should show correct tyre sizes...

if other people have the same tyre as yours, then a more involved culprit may be a cause

is anyone out there using 60 as a profile on stock rims and have this problem???

this is probably the answer to your problem.

reccomened tyre sizes for the stockies are 225/50/16 or 205/55/16

i am using 225/50 all round on my stockies

      I've never played with one, but I would expect that you are correct. That slot looks like it is intended to be used to unscrew the end, and the flats on the body would be better than grabbing it around the round bit with a pipe wrench. So, yeah, probably unscrews. You'll probably have to make a tool to drive in that slot.

      A bit late but A disk S13P fit over stock R32 GTR brakes, usually A disk front, O disk rear works.

      Or, the height of the release bearing is not correct for your combo. Start with the bleeding and checking the slave moves throughout its range when you press the pedal (2 person required), but it is possible for the height to be internally wrong too (box back off to measure.

      Yes, there's quite a few things that can go wrong during a clutch install. Very unlikely. I have a similar clutch. They (ACS) make good gear. No, it is not normal. It is possible that you just need to bleed the clutch slave. But the new clutch will also have a more aggressive actuation force/pressure, and so your old slave cylinder might be a bit leaky or otherwise compromised, and not up to the extra force required. Or the master cylinder, same.

      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?
