i had these Veilside andrew racing rims, i brought it of my mate who was letting it go cheap before he sold his car. Its 18x11 the

tyre size is 285/30/R18 and the offset is +18 ( thats if i measured it right :S )

The previous owner had these rims fitted on his toyots supra.

Its 4 n 5 studed whichs makes it suitable for my n/a R33.

I tried it on my R33 just for fun, and i was surprised by how nicely it fitted.

The brakes cleared , it bolted up nicely everthing else looked fine, only problem was is that the springs was rubbing the end of the tyre

by just a little tiny bit.

Apart from getting wider fenders, would wheel spacers be the only thing i need to clear the springs and make the wheel fit?

Also is there any particular brand of wheel spacers i shuld be looking for on the market (dont want cheap dody ones ).

Another important question, is there anything that could go wrong with me having these rims put on my R33, like affect parts of the car when driving etc etc....

i got picture below with the rims bolted on, i couldnt drop the car all the way down because it was rubbing the springs, but you shuld get the picture from looking at it.

cheers nathan

damn , that offset is crazy. big word DEFECT!!!!! you might get away with a 5/6mm spacer , if it was to work. other wise youll need a hubcentric spacer for arguments sake. but i wouldnt recomend as it sits way to far out as it is. just asking for trouble. get wheels with the propper offset and fitment . im guessing if your cars lowered the camber will possibly make it worse aswell.

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.

      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

      Coolant leak?

      By Duncan · Posted

      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.
