i have 10.5 on the back with dish and 8.5 on front with no dish and 9.5 have little dish which will look better imo

edit: also i wanna get wide fenders and the 8.5 are inline with stock guards so might look funny

Edited by sxc13

most wider front guards are 25mm wider, meaning you can run what an R32 GTR would run... which i think is +20.. so it will fit yes..

how on earth have you got a 19 x 10.5" under the rear?? have you got pics???... i had 17 x 9.5 and it was near rubbing the rear tie rod and the rim stuck out from the guard. what size tyres are you running?? Bakes's R34 GTR has 19x9.5s and he has stretched 275's on them.

Since when are 275's stretched onto 9.5" rims? I've got 255's on mine and it's hardly a stretch at all.

For the op, mate if you're going wider guards then go for it. Use an offset calculator to work out the best fitment based on your current rims, just try to have them stick out 20-25mm more but with minimal to no lower amount of inner clearance. +20 sounds about right but double check anyway.

I still fail to see why people stick tiny tiny tyres on 10.5" rims....what is the point? 245s should be on an 8" - 8.5" rim not bloody 10.5"!

if your doing it for looks...well 90% of the population will say it looks like arse....

Lol I'd say 90% of the population would say a 245 on an 8 looks like ass.

I'm a fan of MILD stretch myself. Like 245 on a 9.5 looks about right depending on brand and type IMO. Less sidewall flex too.

ok,

1: 245's arent a tiny tyre

2: the point is looks, tyre availability, tyre price, reducing sidewall flex, increasing tyre response

3: 245's on a 8" will feel like shit as soon as u go around corner unless the sidewalls are rock hard, some people enjoy going around corners, not just straight line.

4: tyre width can be sacraficed to allow for the higher quality tyre, which ultimately will provide better performance

5: since when the f**k did we as car enthusiasts give a shit about what 90% of the population thinks?

sounds like u need to have a hard look at who u build ur car for, urself or 90% of the population. if it's the latter then i think it's time for you to move on and sell ur skyline.

    • 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).
