Recently bought a set of work xd9s in 18x10 with a +18 offset. They havent been fitted to the car yet as its still in peices and waiting for paint. What i need to know is do these go on with out any mods, and will i need to stretch tyres maybe?

33 and 34 should be ok

not sure about a 32, think your going to have a little bit of an issue

thats the same offset /size 18/10/18 as i had on my NTO3s on the 34

why dont you just test fit one?

i havent ordered any tyres for it yet, i test fitted them on with the car off the ground, sticks out the guards a little, but i spose the car was unladen. Ive seen a few r32 gtrs with the same sized wheels, but unsure if any mods where done to get them on there

I had them on my 32 gtr with 235 tyres, only cuz that is what you could legally run on them in QLD and they stuck out 5-7 mm on standard suspension. So with some 265's and some lower suspension you should get away without flaring the guards, that if the guards havent been repaired for some reason in the past.

I'm in the same position at the moment with XD9's and looking at using a 265/35, would prefer not to roll the guards..

Here's a few from rimtuck.com without guard mods.

18x10+16 with a 275/35, -3 front camber and -1.5 rear camber and no guard mods.

18x10+20 with a 265/35, -1.5 and -2 camber and no guard mods.

When I first bought the car it had r34 gt-r rims with a 275/35, was going to add a 10mm spacer all round and it would of just cleared the guards. I checked the XD9's with a 265/35 against the old rims on a fitment calculator and it said the only difference is that the XD9's will stick out 7mm more.. I'm going to trial fit a tyre just to be safe before I buy a set anyway.

Here's the calculator

I run 263/35/18s on my XD9s the same size. You will need to get your guards rolled. I had them without the guards rolled and standard suspension and they used to scrub in the rears. Rolled guards and stiffer suspension has sorted out all my scrubbing issues.

im runing same wheel with 245/35/18 my gaurds are rolled, no clearance issues at all, goin to go 255 or 265 for my next set.

Is that both front and rear guards rolled? or did you get away with just rolling the rears?

i got 18*9 + 15's on my r32 gtr and i needed to trip the inner guard liners on the front and i need to roll the guards on the rear and i am running 245 wide tyres with a 35 profile

    • Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win? 
    • So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?
    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
    • Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.
    • Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks
