Wheel Fitment For R33 Gts-t

Just bought a set of 18 9.5 +30 all round.

Fronts hit on full lock on the back web of the UCA.

Fitted a 5mm spacer, now have 3mm clearance with the car still jacked up.

Currently have 7mm clearance with 17 8.5 +35's.

Don't really want to use the spacers, plus sticks out a little too far for my liking.

I'm thinking of grinding away a section of the stiffening web on the upper control arm.

Probably only needs 5mm deep x 15mm long

Q's

Does the rim get closer to the UCA when the car is in motion as the suspension compresses ?

And, am I risking too much with grinding ?

I'm assuming these arms are over engineered 50 %

My main dilemma is: If I go back a size on the rim to (8.5) , the spokes lose the aggressive dish I'm after.

Thoughts please.

cheers

my honest opinion, if its a look thing, push the wheels out with spacers, then stretch some tyres over them, and camber the bitch with some adj uppers.

personally i probably wouldnt have an issue with taking that much out of a UCA, especially if u reinforce it in other ways. those front UCA's are f**king tough, the LCA, cross member, castor rods/bracket, tie rods, will all generally break before ur UCA's

yeah the fronts will have 235's on them, quite stretched on a 9.5 rim.

The rims are Rota P45-R's.

What's the go with agro camber?

Do you replace the stock UCA's with adjustable ones?

cheers

u can go a lot more stretch than that.

yeh, adjustable uca's, or lengthened lca's

I saw another post with an adjustable UCA link. They still retained the arm, but it was GTR.

Who makes these custom control arms or where can you get em?

Not much coming up on internet search.

cheers

      R35 GT-R production ends after 18 years

      By Rezz · Posted

      Order for the 2025 model R35 GT-R were accepted from 3rd March and 26th August the last order rolled off the production line at the Tochigi plant. Concerning the R35 GT-R replacement, current Nissan CEO Ivan Espinosa said "Nothing has been decided about the GT-R at this time, but we are well aware that everyone is waiting. The GT-R will evolve and reappear in the future. Please be patient until that day comes." Nissan has a lot of issues with management and finances so take Espinosa's words with a big grain of salt. From what discussions I've had and read about here in Japan, not a lot of people are confident about Nissan's future, let alone the next GT-R.

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      21 is explicitly the coils detected as the issue. Is it guaranteed the actual issue? No. Just the ECU thinks it is. When you say rattling, describe it better, get an audio clip as best you can if possible.

      Yea got me coppers. Bad news is I just put them in and the car still has the light and shakes. I also noticed I hear like rattling coming from the exhaust piping right under me. Does 21 also have a possibility of being O2 sensors?   So, coil packs are good, the harness is good, the MAF is working, and obviously the spark plugs just replaced and working.

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      Make sure you drop the GTT base tune back in, and set your injectors again, this will remove anything playing up with it you may have removed. Possibly lean there as it's normally a fast transient going THROUGH atmospheric pressure, and a turbo motor would then quickly go richer as boost builds. The only worry you MIGHT have is ignition timing, as the DE is higher compression than the DET from memory. But again, you're not in boost, so the DE motor will be a lot more forgiving at atmospheric.   Get Murray, Kinkstahs, and Johnny's input on tuning haltechs, those guys have played with tuning enough in the past to be able to help now you're past the trouble shooting stage of the MAP issue
