no such thing as a bit excessive, do you see this bloke saying that "can't use those rims as they are a bit excessive" NO.

well for some stupid obscene reason i took your advice today... picking up my new gestalts virogue's tommorow :)

18x7 +45 all round. fair good aye?

NOT :P

we shall see how they fit up first before i post it up :ph34r:

p.s. if i cant physically fit these new wheels on im blaming it on you hahaha :happy:

got em on,

heres the details:

work vs xx

18x10 front +13

18x12 rear unknown offset (there was no stickers on em and i couldn't be arsed measuring for now, just wanted em on)

20mm rear flare will just cover the tread on the stretched tyre but rim will still stick out, front will be fine with a 15mm flare.

and nisskid, take a look at jms old r33 skid car, that had flared gtr guards on it...

in fact i have a pic of it uploaded here:

not many things make a 33 look good as its a very bubbly and weird shape to begin with, but those flares on gtr guards are hawwwt.

wait, so u have rear GTR guards, on a GTS-t?

and im going off the ad on ebay, that says they are 18x12 -4, but ur saying the offset is unknown.

im confused lol, im not following that well.

also flares may create a nice veranda that covers the tread, but wont give u as much clearance for the tyre going up into the guard. each to their own. not a fan of the mexican look, would rather see a more flush look.

nah theyre not those wheels off ebay man... different set but same specs pretty much.

i have no guards on, just standard ol dirty r33 body. And yeah i get what youre saying about the tyre going up in to the guards, as it is now it scrapes a little bit but well see man.

Ill get em flared and get some camber on it see how that fits/drives, if its not what im after then ill get some new guards for it. I just dont like fiberglass as its like a cheap way out and you can never get the finish perfect, not to mention all fiberglass flares/kits for an r33 are dog ugly

    • would a r34 gtr hood line up with gt/gtt stock fenders? after latch, front bumper and hinges are swapped for gtr ones? or would the fenders be too low or high in relation to the hood surface? ( I believe seeing somewhere that gtr front fenders use some type of riser for the sides, but do not know how that relates to stock gt/gtt fenders.)    
    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
