Quick story, I'm ordering a set of Cross Factory rear guards for the 33, they add GT-R width +30mm on top of that, so 60mm total, and wider fronts (around +30mm)..

Currently run 18x8.5F 18x9.5 rear, i think honestly I could run another half inch to inch on them no worries on the standard body.

Anyway,

considering 18x10 front, 18x12 - 13 rear.

Have a mate who sells tyres so cheap ones aren't an issue ;) $220 for 265/40/18 Federal 595RS-R (semi's)

So,

Offsets, what could I fit with standard R33 GTS-T brakes? I know there will be TONS of dish which is what I want I want minimal offset!!

So anyone who's good at this stuff, HELP!!

Thanks in advance guys!

brake clearance is not actually defined by offest.

jap rims come in differing brake clearences, what rims are you looking at?

also i'm not sure about 265 RSR's stretching enough for 12's due to the sidewall construction, it's not really common practice to stretch semi's

18 x 9.5 + 30 will hit your front upper control arms on full lock, not by much though.

I have these and ground out a notch in my UCA's to clear.

Only from the back stiffening flanges.

Plenty of over engineering there, especially as they're in compression most of the time.

I think Joey has + 25 all round with no scrub.

Previously had Sterns.

Front were 17 x 8.5 + 40

I have R33 GTR 324mm Brembos and had 2mm clearance between spokes and calipers.

With the 18 Rotas, I have more than 10mm clearance.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit?

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      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!

      I'm a fan of the JZX110, and the Aristo. Big cruiser cars, and with the factory cars, super comfortable and feel like you're driving an armchair! And the JZ motors are a pretty nice engine too, especially with some basic mods.   The import process, and the need to be able to trust people, and the fact there's so many scammers around is what ever puts me off wanting to go through that ordeal!

      I don't care for these at all, but at least the underside looks straight and not rusty. A good basis for a long life. Many cars from Japan have been lifted with forklifts and f**ked almost irrepairably.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yes, but it's not dumb or dodgy. You can build a perfectly good boost controller from a pressure reg, a relief valve (looks same same as a reg if all from Norgren or SMC, for example) and a check valve. I ran one for years. Only superceded with  EBC because I could get one for cheaps and wanted finer control.   THis mod is certainly not a sketchy boost mod, provided the boost is kept below the "spin to death" threshold of the turbos.
