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.

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

yeh i dont mind flares on unpumped bodies, hell im running them atm haha, but i dont like flares on pumped guards (GTR's). it's like the guards already pops out from the body, to add a flare doesnt look right imo.

    • Euros are shitboxes man. My next car going to be a Lexus or Hyundai.
    • Maybe I used the wrong sandwich plate as well. Used one piece instead of two piece.  
    • Y'know what, after reading a topic on a 360kw build using a nistune (who ended up going LINK), im now considering a LINK over a nistune. The engine protection alone would probably be worth it. And id like to learn to tune so would be nice to have that safe guard. Which means i probably wont need a boost controller then, or the R35 MAF.  Becoming a bit of a blog now but oh wells. As mentioned previously, the goal is around 300kw, for a daily driver. Will be looking at fitting a highflow turbo or similar (something that doesnt require downpipes, manifolds etc to be changed out) when the current stock gives out or the money for it is there. 
    • Thanks guys. Are you meant to tighten the converter bolts through the starter motor hole? Think my plate between gearbox and engine is one piece. Im heading up there tomorrow.
    • Picked my tailshaft up yesterday arv!! Test fit it and because they've gone to a ford centre bearing and CV I had to modify the mounting bracket a little bit. 5mm of each side and she went up into position and fits well. It has a 1350 uni and flange on the gearbox end so it should be plenty strong!  Got stuck in this morning and started on the wiring mess. Cut out all the wires not required that go to the body connector and cut the engine harness out. Need to go through and work out which ones I need to keep and rewire into the new ecu. Should save a small amount of weight as well. I'd love to get in and rip the dash and everything out to completely remove wiring but cbf.  Next up was the power harness for alternator, starter etc. It has a few connectors from factory that run out of it. Cut it all apart and removed what was no longer required and put some new corro and taped it all back up and bolted it all back into place.  After that I worked out where I can mount the new flex sensor. Found a couple of factory bolt holes and drilled a new hole on the bracket to suit. Need to go get a few fittings and adapters tomorrow so I can keep going.
