Due to some helpful advice on this forum I decided to get me

some work xd9s for my r33 gtst. I've got a gtr front end so that

means wider guards

now I just don't no why to do at the fronts

the choices are

18x9 + 20 or 18x10 +18

I don't want to scrub at full lock

or have issues having a full car really shits me :)

if anyone can point me In The right way pls do :)

cheers

the 10s only stick out 15mm more then the 9s so with the correct tyre choice ie stretch there should be not to much headache.. it is 15mm less inner clearence though but again i dont forsee an issue

my car is 18.9.5 + 15 with 25mm wider front guards with a 235/40 tyre thats how it sits only scrubs cos its low few mm higher would be no issues at all.

Get the 18x10+18?

a 18x9.5+12 and 18x10+18 is pretty much the same give or take a few mm. If you've got GTR front end then anything under a 9.5" will be inside the guards and look like shit. Do it right the first time, buy the wheels and make them fit.

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
