Hey guys,

After 9 months of purchasing my r33 N/A, im still getting around on its stock wheels, and the tyres are starting to go :action-smiley-069:. Im super strapped for cash, as ive just moved, and are constantly getting hit with annoying expanses, so saving money is getting hard. Being N/A, nice looking 4 stud wheels are very hard to come by cheaply(second hand wheels). So heres my question, ive found some nice looking "5" stud wheels with tyres included, im wondering if i could just drill my own holes and patch it up so its nice and solid...is this impossible and a ridiculous idea or can it be done?

to be flat out honest, it's a terrible Idea. I don't mean to be harsh, but if you can't afford the wheels, you most likely can't afford the equipment to redrill a set of wheel properly. also, if I owned a shop, i wouldn't do it for you because of the liability. just get new tires for the stockers and wait it out til you can get what you want. Much EASIER, and much SAFER too

Agreed!!!

There are some things you just don't do yourself, as they put people's life at risk, and this is DEFINITELY one of them!

Have you got a rich uncle who needs his vegie patch weeded or his gutters are full of leaves?

As you come back with your tools, ask him what he thinks of the canvas that's showing up from under the rubber...

just get some second hand tyres for the short term if ur not rippin skids they will last a while

Agreed - good quality 2nd hand ones and a balance. Or if you have a little bit more dollars buy a brand new set of cheapies :cool:

Put them on your stokies and until you save enough $$$

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      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?

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      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.
