Hi Guys,

i know there is a lot of questions regarding offsets and wheel sizes for skylines, but i'm a newbie and haven't found any r33 gtst with the dimensions below

18x8" offset +40 front

18x9" offset +40 rear

my car is lowered 30mm with king springs, will they fit and will i have to do anything to the guards??

....It will look fine

But If you wanna be one of these guys that spend a fortune to get the flush look, even though it provides no great performance benefits,then go for it.

EDIT..i do hope your not running standard shocks with those springs..If not you should spend your money on some good quality shocks before worrying about different wheel offsets.

need wider dude....

+40 will look like a bag of dicks

how do you know what a bag of dicks looks like??

Arent you meant o be on some cruise anyway.. :P

It may not look the greatest but it will still look better than most and i think a good quality set of shocks should be of higher priority if they are not done already..Crappy shocks with hard springs and no tyre sidewall = a pretty crappy and unsafe ride

Why put all this pressure on these kids to make their car look a certain way then grumble when they get pulled over and defected because they spend more money trying to look cool rather than actually enhancing their vehicles performance.

EDIT anyway if your that concerned just stick some spacers on them..

What fortune is needed to get the flush look?

Thanks for the feedback guys.. I have replaced the king springs with Tein coilovers just today and the wheel dimensions I put on earlier were for a set of bbs lm replicas.. Does any1 know where I can get a set of lm replicas that will sit more flush?

VarrsToen in the US make BBS LM reps, but they will sit more poke than flush without rolling/flaring/pumping (19x9.5/10.5+0)

18x9+32 all round. Ran fine without modifying the guards. Only time I got scrapage was on bumpy corners...but a guard roll fixed that, and it's completely related to how low/high your car is. But yeah, as Hamish said...you'll be unhappy with the looks after a while, if you don't get offset and width right straight up. Mine look okay, but I'm now trading my rears for 9.5...will make things look even better without the need for guard flaring.

      So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.

      My thought is if you were just moving it forward and the upstream geometry remained the same, then no difference at all. But because the current one has the filter direct into the AFM inlet, you effectively have the best chance of a completely symmetric air flow profile upstream, and in, the AFM, whilst the aftermarket inlet thingo has a (small, to be sure) bend between the filter and the AFM. That would bias the flow to the outside of the bend (downstream of the bend) which might well reduce the size of the signal seen by the AFM, for the same total flow rate. Having said that: If you're proposing to make your inlet look like a hybrid of your existing one and the aftermarket one, such that there is no bend where the filter is clamped on... then I say it will be just fine. If there is going to be such a bend, then, if you can align the insertion of the AFM blade such that it is at right angles to the plane of the bend, then there is a better than even chance that the centreline velocity where the blade is will remain more or less the same, and the velocity will just be a little faster to the outside of that, and just a little slower to the inside. **This is not professional investment advice and you should consult a suitably qualified ouija board, tea leaves or the intestines of a goat for more accurate prognostication.

      Blue/grey smoke after idle

      By pacman_1219 · Posted

      Hi Tao, Thanks for your reply.  It's been a while and I managed to get the valve stem seals replaced with the head on the car.  Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue, the car still smokes a lot after idling (to be honest during idle you can see a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust), same after deceleration. I will try disconnecting the valve cover breathers, do I leave the PCV valve in? By engine oil drain pipe, do you mean the turbo oil drain?

      What about if you just give it direct 12v and earth?
