Hi all i know wheels have been covered a million times but i did a search and i absoulty love the jap wheels like the xd9's, work emtions and volks ect but i can not justify using like $3000 or so to get them. So i am looking for a nice wheel preferabley in 18's to sitt reasonabley flush with the gaurds. I have seen the drift techs and wheels like that i do like the lenso dr1's with the dish in siliver but have not seen any photos of these on cars and they are pretty hard to track down a supplyer. So can you guys throw me up some wheel susjestions as i am running out of patatance because as soon as i find i wheel i like bam its in the wrong size ie not wide enough or wrong offsett. How do the 19 inch hiro's from tempe tyres sitt on a r32 gtr do they sitt to far in and would i have to roll gaurds to fitt the 9.5 inch wide rims under or go to a 8.5 inch wide and what offsett do they come in i think they come in +25 correct me if i am wrong.

i found the best place for wheels are import spare places in NSW at least you can see them before you buy !

hey all update i have gone for the lenso dr1's and i have to admit they look sweet but do require me to roll the gaurds and removed the inner guard linings to fit them in the 15 offset and the 245/40/18 profile tyres with how low it is sitting right now but i am very happy for $2100 for the 18*9 in the 15 offset with kummo ku31 tyres

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
