Hey guys, I just bought a set of Rays LMGT2 wheels and I want to fit them to my R33 GTST.

Specs:

Rears: 17 x 9 unknown offset? (sticker was removed) with 245/45/17 tires

Fronts: 17 x 8 +38 (they didn't clear my R33 calipers) with 225/45/17 tires

Now im looking at buying bolt on spacers all around. I have my Rear guards rolled and flared already, the Front guards are rolled only. The car does sit pretty low and i was wondering would 15mm or 20mm Spacers would be ok without scrubbing?

the look im after is making the wheels stick out the guards a bit all around.

I'm using 25mm front and rear on a 33 GTS T using 34 GTT rims with 245/45 17 rubber, I just used a ruler to work out the size and got one pair to trial fit, they fit just inside the guards, no rubbing anywhere, my ride height is 350 front and 340 rear.

Bolt on hub centric from Just Jap.

I recommend using locktite on the nuts and bolts on the spacers and torqueing them up tight.

Just saw you have the front 38 so you can go 20 or 25 on the front. If you run camber on the front go 25 if not can go 20 to be safe. I run camber on my front and have 20 mm spacers with same size rims and they sit slightly out of the guards

Thanks for the replies guys, I ended buying 20mm spacers all around.. im very happy with the front, I got the look im after, no scrubbing either. At the back... it looked awesome! but scrubbed on the guard :( Now im thinking of raising the car up at the back so i can fit the spacers, because i just fell in love more with my wheels when they stuck out the guards lol

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.

      Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)

      Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.

      Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
