would 18x9.5 +30 rims fit on a stock r33 gtst?

eeeeeasy.

Especially when they cry about how much they miss it :)

lol. ill miss my car, but ill just steal yours when i get bored.

thanks for the quick replies guys

edit:

actually how bout 18x10 +15 ? Im guessin they wouldnt.

Considering getting in on this group buy:

Any thoughts?

You guys need to go a bit easy when giving advice on fitment. I know some of you are hard core with your own cars, but the average Joe Blow doesn't want to :

1. have to roll his guards

2. endure the occasional tyre scrape on the guards on bumps

3. fit a camber kit and run mega camber

4. chew through tyres like no mans business (see above)

5. stretch 225s on a 10" rim in order to make the tyre not foul on the guard

6. have wheels illegally (and very obviously illegally at that) hanging outside the guards

etc etc etc

id consider something like this a little on the 'unreasonable' side.

anything that simply requires a light roll to fit is pretty reasonable imo.

im running (on the rear) a 9 +17 with less than a degree of camber and a 225/45 tyre on mildly rolled guards, ive still got enough space left in there to run a 235/45 with no adjustment, and a 245/45 with a newspaper roll.

granted this is on an s14, but the space they have under the guards isnt all that dissimilar from an r33.

i only ever have trouble with rubbing on my front inner guards*, and thats only ever been an issue at the track, and camber kits and the like are part and parcel when you lower a nissan anymore than what... half an inch? the factory toe and camber arms just dont have the requisite levels of adjustment need to correct geometry when you lower your car.

*... okay, i also had a bit of trouble with the wiring loom, but i caught that before it was an issue, and it was an easy fix.

haha yea Im not too keen of having some weird camber.

Whats involved in having your guards rolled? Might consider that.

Dont think I would mind the scrapes either, as long as they were occasional :)

Otherwise would typically want something that fits in fine without much modification. I believe I read somewhere that +30 or more is what I would need but Im not sure if that is right. Nor do I know how this relates to the width of the wheel.

I guess I should jst take the time to have a good look and measure it up

Just make sure you try before you buy. Some rims will theorietically work, but infact dont. Places like JIS are happy to fit them up before you buy them to see if it all works.

holy shit, blast from the f**kin 90's!

belting out a shit ton of music on itunes at the moment, and the last 3 songs it spat out were glycerin by bush, shimmer by fuel, and be quiet and drive by the deftones... f**kin hell, it was awesome.

you lower your car and youre gonna have weird camber. all a part of modded car life. thankfully, camber arms are cheap.

pretty simple procedure, some body shops and most wheel shops (tyrepower, wheeljerx, etc) will roll your guards for $40 a corner.

basically it just involves heating the lip of the guards and knocking inner horizontal lip flush with the skin. gives you a solid half inch clearance.

scrapes arent that bad. as i said, ive only ever had problems out on track, and they were solved with zip ties... you mightnt even have that problem.

youre gonna scrape your exhaust and shit more than anything. andrews just being dramatic.

whats your definition of 'fine'?

offset is pretty simple stuff, theres a bunch of great articles out there, even wikipedia has a page on it.

but yeah, places like jis are happy to help you test fit wheels to your car to see how they look, and places like adelaide tyrepower and wheelworx will be happy to give you a hand.

Below is an awesome tool to help you get a feel for the correct width and offset of wheel. Just put in the stock width and offset, and compare the numbers. Obviously you need to be mindful of inner, as well as out clearance - as inner clearance dictates whether you will foul on your suspension components, and obviously outer clearance is whether you will hit your guard (if it is not rolled and assuming no camber). I strongly recommend you lower your car to how you're going to keep it, get it wheel aligned, THEN start choosing wheels/offsets.

so here i am , sitting at my pc at 4am in the morning and ive started thinking about putting my dented r33 shell to good use as a drift hack...

thinking about putting my whole car into it basically...

just so that i can skid it and not have to worry about paint work getting scratched , panels getting macked in etc etc

sorta missle spec.

should i do it ? :)

i think im loosing my mind...

Then why sell it?

Because I don't want to track it, and I want something I can track without a worry.

Sure I could track the 32 but I really don't want to, too much to loose if I twisted it

    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
    • So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
    • Well this shows me the fuel pump relay is inside the base of the drivers A Pillar, and goes into the main power wire, and it connects to the ignition. The alarm is.... in the base of the drivers A Pillar. The issue is that I'm not getting 12v to the pump at ignition which tells me that relay isn't being triggered. AVS told me the immobiliser should be open until the ignition is active. So once ignition is active, the immobiliser relay should be telling that fuel pump relay to close which completes the circuit. But I'm not getting voltage at the relay in the rear triggered by the ECU, which leaves me back at the same assumption that that relay was never connected into the immobiliser. This is what I'm trying to verify, that my assumption is the most likely scenario and I'll go back to the alarm tech yet again that he needs to fix his work.      Here is the alarms wiring diagram, so my assumption is IM3A, IM3B, or both, aren't connected or improper. But this is all sealed up, with black wiring, and loomed
