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

what is the rim size and offset .................20X8.5" +30????

I'll be joing the wheels club tomorrow. Picking up 4 big packages that have made their way from Japan! Won't have time to fit them up, so it'll have to wait a few weeks >_<black_lrg.jpg

19's SSR type F

HAWT!

what is the rim size and offset .................20X8.5" +30????

to be honest I'm not really sure what the offset of these rims is, or the actual rim width either. I do know that the tyre is 225 though lol.

it was basically a off the shelf purchase, didnt put much thought into it as I just wanted a nice set of rims rather than the gutter bashed stockies. in hindsight I should have researched ideal offset, width, dia with a decent tyre and talked to import monster for a nice set, but instead I got talked into something that probably wasn't selling so well with a set of tyres that were the cheapest of the lot. I didnt think this car would grow on me so much..

Hi guy's,

After doing a recent motor change we found an inherent problem with the M35's front lower control arm bush on both sides....seems they start to fall apart at about 100,000km's.

Now I thought to myself after talking to someone else that it may not be every car so I decided to check mine as I had noticed it's starting to track worse and worse....and I also have that f#$king vibration when powering to the left that nobody has been able to find. Sure enough and although hard to see that had fallen apart....I had to remove the arm to check it properly as it didn't appear to be broken when it was up there.

Anyway enough drivel......I have sourced polythene ones which I will put on in the next week or so and I'll check to see if it turns the drive of the car too firm. Once I have done that I have spoken to the suspension place I am getting to do it about setting up an exchange set and doing the install if needed. For those of you in Vic I will be talking to Scott about doing the install and exchange set's and dealing direct with the suspension place.

Please note that you will need a wheel alignment after doing this.

Anyway I am hoping to set up the exchange set to be about $250-$300.......you will have to go through Scott or myself to do this unless you want to put down a returnable deposit to insure we get our arms back.

I am not sure about the price of the install but I would be thinking it would be around $500 at the most including the wheel alignment at my suspension place.

any thoughts guys.

its a great idea, and after seeing those bushes stay in the car when the arms were in my hand, its a little scary.

im guessing the same thing has happened to my car.

i actually wouldnt mind going ALL poly bushes, front and rear.

    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • 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
