I'm actually hoping they poke out a bit, just to get a nice stance. Are the rear guards wider?

Yes, and as you lower; they tuck in (negative camber) much tighter than the front. With a roll on the guard lip I'd say the rear is 15-20mm wider.

Yep, and the rears can be rolled a bit, the fronts are already rolled. Those sizes will stick out about 10-15mm I think, possibly more than 19 inch tyre stretch will help with but you wont know until you put them on. I would suggest test fitting them before you buy.

I know my 17x9 drifteks are perfect at +30 with a 255 with tyre but with 19 inch I couldn't tell you.

Do anybody make an adjustable upper arm to solve the neg camber issue?

So if they are sitting flush the +22 should look ok. :)

hoping some one on here has a rim somewhat like I'm looking at...

Who else has 19's and what are the size/offset you are running :)

Cheers.

Plenty of different stuff available for 350Z/ G35 in the US (think Ichiba,etc), but going that way will actually REDUCE the wheel to guard clearance.

Maybe shoot spoolin12 a PM, I'm sure his offsets must be close to this after the fitment of his Akebono Brake setup, due to the required spacers to clear the calipers.

looks like it...my spare looks the same.

:thanks: I wasnt too worried, given thats how it looked when it came out, just curious :)

if it sealed completely i dont think it would idle lol

for sure, no air = no go! But I thought if it was designed to be closed when turned off, then 'idle' would have the motor opening it ever so slightly - possibly the amount you see on the pictures - maybe more!

You may find that once it it being controlled by the ecu, it actually pulls closed. Most throttle bodies have an air bypass port to control idle, and the butterfly seals completely.

yeah spoolin has 19x9.5 +40 with a 12mm spacer so effectively a +28 offset... but they do stick out a bit - he has stretched tyres and they dont scrub.

but talk to him about tyre wear. with that width and offset you cant take out much of the camber or they will scrub the guards, so tyres wont last long.

Went a bit overboard on eBay today, picked up my slimline fan ready for the front mount intercooler, and ended up getting a Nismo dash after putting in an offer... Bit sad, but ah well!

Also picked up a Repco equivalent cabin air filter. Got the carbon one for $25.80 trade. They were out of Ryco ones and I figure this would be fine.

Going in tomorrow with the runner spacer (finally!).

Took the car for a thrash through the hills... man there are some idiot drivers up there, but makes me even more excited for the sway bars! :rofl:

I was checking out that Nismo......wont work on my car though unless I change my tyre size

Why's that? Just be out?

My stock speedo is already out around 10%, so doesn't bother me heaps. Will get it calibrated when I get new wheels.

    • I was 99% sure the standard one is long enough to get there, you might just have to change the throttle orientation. If not, I remember someone having used an r31 cable instead, but that is probably harder to find than r33 by now...
    • HELP   Hey all, Is there an accelerator cable from another Nissan that can be used on the R33 GTST RB25DET with a Greddy forward facing plenum?  Thanks in advance  Rob 
    • Or do we think it was installed to give 1 bar of boost max, all day, everyday?
    • So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit? 
    • Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!
