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

      The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.

      Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.

      Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks

      Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..

      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.
