Hey Team,

I came across a cheap set of R33 GTR Rims for sale. ( 17x9 +30 )

I was wondering if anyone knows how they would fit on an Auto S2 RSFOUR Stagea?

Im open to opinions on whether they would suit/look good etc... Positive / Negative comments welcome :)

Im only willing to go as big as 17's as I prefer the ride of a 17" tyre wall :)

Cheers,

Aerron

I think DaveB is (or was) running set of R33 GTR Rims, might be able to search for some pics of his stag. As far as clearance goes that won't be a problem, I'm running rims with a +30 offset with 245's, my car is lowered and I have no issues with the wheels scrubbing.

That's right - sorry about the dodgy pic', can't find any better ones just now:

This was before I lowered it, but there's plenty of room in stag' wheel wells for BIG wheels :D

Used to see a series 1 maroon stag all the time in Camberwell, had the r33gtr rims, looked sweet.

Reckon they'd look just as good on a S2.

personally i prefer r34gtr rims (i'll keep wishing/saving)

That'll be Scotsman's better half

Woah... So its agreed that they fit, look good and most probably a good idea :D

As for how cheap is cheap, I found a set with no rash etc $800ono no rubber, but thats easy :bunny:

I was most worried about whether they would hit the guards etc, I've got my Stag sitting about level with the tyre in the front, maybe 5mm above the tyre, the rear sits dead level. But once I get some passengers sitting in the back it squats it down a good half an inch maybe a little more.

Dont get me wrong, I love Nissan's design and lines/curves of the car... but I wouldnt hesitate to roll the guards with a slight pump/lip if need be. :bunny:

Also, I was thinking IF I got these 33 wheels, of getting them sprayed up Gun Metal Grey. I think it would compliment the Perl White :devil:

You *might* have to get the rear guards rolled, but that's a minor issue.

I've got 18x8 +30's on my car with 245/40 tyres, and it rubbed a little bit on occasion when I had loads or hit sharp bumps, but since I've had the guards rolled it's been fine.

Your V35 wheels look slick, how much to roll the guards?

I have found that choosing a good tyre with a good rim and throwing some decent money in this area makes such a difference to your ride, I have Potenza RE050As worth the outlay.

17x9 R33 GTR +30 - 235/45 R17 = good.

Autech BBS wheels are a good option as well, although I dont dig the mesh look.

I had some but didnt sit right with standard springs till I got teins, but sold em and went with weds sports SA-90s +30 with 15mm spacers up front 5mm backs but fit snuggly in the bulky S1 stagea guards.

For street and track purposes, cheap tyre sizing and widely available.

I wish I had kept mine for skids and future track days. :blush:

Thanks, man! I love the way they look too, and have had nothing but positive comments from others as well. Hmm, if I'd found a set of R33 GT-R rims at the right price, I'd probably have a set of those on my car instead of the V35 rims. I would REALLY have loved a set of bronze RAYS CE28N's or RE30's, but I couldn't find a used set at a price I was willing to pay, and justify the cost of a new set...

Absolutely - a good tyre is mandatory!!! There's absolutely no use in spending on power mods and better suspension and brakes if you don't get back to the fundamentals of having decent grip to make the most of it all.

      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.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      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.

      R32 gtr transmission strength, billet plate

      By cosline · Posted

      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

      Spotted on the street....

      By Rezz · Posted

      Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
