Ok, sorry I must be missing something here. What offset did he say these things were?+20 or +30?

I had a quick squiz on the net, and could only findthose wheels in a 20x8.5 114.3 in a +35 offest. With a 120 PDC they come in a +20 or +40. Not saying there aren't more options, but thats all i could quickly find.

So, with a 20x8.5 +35, you will have 11mm less on the inner, and extend 1mm further out. No need for rolling or anything if it clears on the inside.

I'm sorry if i'm barking up the wrong tree, its late, but I just don't want him to be thinking he's going to be rolling guards/shaving wheels...:thumbsup:

yes you are correct............ changing from a 8" +30 to a 8.5" +35 is 1mm out :)

they come in +20, +30, +35, +40, +45

so i could get a 9.5" in a +45 if i can tuck an extra 34mm ROFL

by the looks of it my battery is pretty much cactus but what i would like to know is cos ive pulled the battery out overnight to charge it do i need to do the ecu reset proceedure again???

i got an RDO today so im gonna go install the plenum spacer :D

Bastard.

I was thinking about the plenum spacer on the way in to work (Yep, I sit on the bus and think about cars.. what of it) and wish I could better explain just what a difference it makes; its actually frustrating how Im not able to articulate what a difference it makes! Its a pretty straight forward install, the guys have explained/documented it really clearly - looking forward to seeing your response once its in :thumbsup:

Theo, the spacer is not the wrong one.

It was cut from the same template as all the other spacers that have been installed.

As I said in my PM, it only goes on one way, so try flipping it over or switching ends.

FARK!!!!! yeah my mistake....... thought i tryed it all 4 ways HAHA

looking forward to seeing your response once its in :thumbsup:

ok what i noticed when i put the exhaust on it got very peaky/strong but once i fitted the spacer it brought it back down to a more smooth liniar pull as it was before, also it doesnt drop down a gear as quickly if u deside to punch it.

other than that i thought the exhaust note has changed slightly

Bingo!

Exactly what I found, don't need to lean on it as hard to get the same performance either. You'll likely see a slight improvement in economy; once the novelty wears off...:ph34r:

my coilovers turned up today so far only managed to get the fronts in, i'll finish it tomorrow and see how it sits but its looking rather low atm....... its about 50mm lowered, might have to bring it back up a bit :ph34r:

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
