I don't really get the tempetyres?!?! but I don't plan to invest lot of money on that car. Especially not on rims, no go on brand like Volk Racing...

But I'm going to get something like that:

110232070_full.jpg

( TE replica ) with some Yokohama S.Drive :)

I do plan to hit the track, so far I'm set on 18 x 9.0 + 30 allaround

But waiting for the car before deciding on anything, should pick it up my R33 tomorrow. :D

I had Yokohama S-Drive all round on my R33, and have gone to Potenza RE001. The Bridgestones are a far better tire. Depends on the cost and what you want to spend of course though :D

Of course the Potenza RE001 will be far superior :P .

But like I said, it will be just for cruising around and go to work ;)

While on topic, any one running 18x9 +25 on the rear? How does it sit, any gaurd work needed? 18x9 +30 fit GTST's no problem (stock GTR wheels), so +25 should still be fine right?

will be fine it will be exactly 5mm further out the the 18x9 +30 so just work off your knowledge of how that looked and add 5 mm :D

and pls dont buy copy rims im all for cheap wheels but slapping cheap look alikes is lame its like wearing 4 stripe tracksuit pants.. everyone knows your a tightass.

atm it has 18 x 8.5 +30 w 235/40/18 nitto NT05 and 18 x 9.5 +30 w 245/40/18 nitto NT05

but in a week or 2 it will be the same rims in 18 x 9.5 +25 all round with the same tyres

cops pulled up over on an sau mt buller overnight cruise, was a top bloke.

Small update, since I can't find the right type of rims or size I want (without spending to much on brand name)

I end up on DTM/Diezel Drift, they look ok.

size will be:

17x9.0 +35 front

17x10 +35 Rear

hope it will fit fine.

It will fit but it will hit the top arm on close to lock and at track or hard cornering it may rub on the guard...

Clean up the top arm a tad to prevent it hitting and pump front guard a tad...

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way.

    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
