I'm not sure which way I'm leaning at present, I have loaded up the car with some heavy items quite a few times so it needs to stay functional.. but the look of it squatted tempts me badly! I also love being able to drive over things without fearing the usually scrapage that I get with the Supra, but I want it to have less understeer than at present. I'll wait and see how the Whiteline sway bars go that I just ordered from Daleo :D

dude, its an ARX and the guards are lower AND you have a larger rolling diameter wheel.

cant compare RS/RX and ARX like that. your car may LOOK lower, but isnt

take craigs car and mine for example. mine IS lower, but his LOOKS lower :)

thats because it has awesome!....oh wait...so does yours..........we are both awesome!cheers.gif

what if its already happened?

anyway, i need to drop the rear a little. maybe raise the front. but dont think so. my new exhaust wont hang as low as the stock one. mostly due to its lack of mufflers

this is what the AXIS looks like now.. big wheels but they look tiny being up so high. would love to take an inch out of it but almost seems like more hassle than its worth. Your cars are dumped!! I couldnt go close to that

lol you need larger tyres.

17", go for a 55 tyre

18", go for a 45 tyre

19", go for a 35 tyre

Edited by iamhe77

these are actually 20".. but yes I def need larger tyres! I'm not too happy about the offset on these either... need some new 19" forgies yummmmmmmm.

my original aim with these wheels was to complement the car so they didnt stand out too much.. i guess it worked! lol

but with some height taken out the rims increase in size.. but it becomes less practical the lower you go!

My love of this car grows everyday so it might get to a stage where a new set of rims with suspension is in order.. and some new brakes!

or just put some 30's on your existing wheels.

They will be a smaller rolling diameter than the standard RS/RX/Axis rolling diameter, but better 12mm smaller rolling diameter than 12mm larger if you put 35's on there (might scrub)

    • 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       
    • 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).
