I presume you are talking about the tyre profile... the answer is the same as any other car. Broadly speaking lower profile = better handling, higher profile = better ride. Its entirely up to you how much comfort you are prepared to sacrifice for ultimate cornering performance. For me that means 235/45 on 17 x 8 rims [i have a set of slicks for the track] but if you want 20in rims go for it!

at the moment mine sits about 20-25mm from the guard to tire, but id like it to sit right 10mm to right on it.

currently have Nismo S Tune suspension setup.

is quite good. good mix of ride comfort and sport, wouldnt say track ready though.

Agreed.. hence the "S" in S-tune = sport.

Nismo do not do an R-tune kit for the M35 but you can get stiffer springs if you feel you need it

Mine has bit more distance from tyre to arch due to a lower profile (235/40's).

A 45 profile tyre with a suspension kit that lowers an RS/RX around 25mm is perfect.

OK then it matters what kind of Stagea you have. Mine is a S1 C34 and ride height (as defined by Ryan above) is 340mm front and 350mm rear. "Slamming" it to the ground is usually a cosmetic choice as it gives you stuff all suspension travel and puts extra wear on driveline components.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By Duncan · Posted

      I feel like I'm missing something. You had an authorised installer come out and install a new alarm. Post install the car doesn't start, and you aren't getting the installer back to fix what they did wrong?

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      So either way it is gearbox out and look what is wrong?  I know about the input shaft bearing. Even before swap/new clutch the it sounded exactly like this: So is that inout shaft bearing or the other was installed backwards?  And can some please tell me the part number for that input shaft bearing? The gearbox is small box from R34 N/A and number is FS5W71C. Thank you

      I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'

      D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.

      KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
