hey im thinking of getting a kit for my 33, only trouble is im not keen on the fancy aerodynamic looking ones i prefer the plain bn kit..

i know they look sweet on heaps of other cars like 32's fc rx'7s but im unsure about if they look "too big" on the 33? i saw one driving but didnt get a good look but the skirts looked huge? and i cant find any good photos on the net..

any advice or photos would be greatly apprieciated

cheers morris

hey mate im gettin bn kit fitted to my 33 at the moment, the side skirts are massive.. they dont look out of place just needs to match the look your going for over all.

check out vivagarage or jdm-drifters for some pics..

ive seen a bn sports rear bar on a purple 33 around my area looks like it suites it well, but have seen one on a white 33 and it didnt look good, and as ive got a white 33 chose not to get it...

so if you've got a darker colour 33 it may work for u, just imo

well i was thinking of painting mmy 33 a light clour so hope it works lol, on the viva garage web site the white one with the kit looks really good... cool my email is [email protected] ive got a drift spoiler on it so i think the kit should look the part :)

    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
    • Neg, the top one is actually for the front. The sizes are 18x10.5 +18 and 18x11 +32.   I measured many times but I'm sure I'll have problems as this is the thread for problems.
    • Just one thing; tapping tapered threads is tricky. Taps are always tapered and you would generally run it as far as you can, but with a tapered thread you have to stop much sooner otherwise the wide part of the taper will run in too far and you will have to thread the sensor in too far too as well (possible that it will never make a good seal) BTW nice wide wheels, I guess the top one is for the back!
    • Welp, good to know. Will have to wait awhile until steady hands with drills and taps are available. In other news, these just arrived! I will weigh them for posterity. Edit: 11kg each (or 10.9/11.1 depending on what my scale decides over multiple tests, the 18x11 don't seem to weigh noticeably any more than 10.5)
