As per title,

I've decided to get some wheels spacers to fill out the gaurds on my gtr, since the standard wheels sit a bit too much in.

Im after that sorta flush - ish look, but dont know what spacers to get, that'll do the job. I know that the standard 33r wheels are 17x9 + 30.

Im not really too good when it comes to this sorta stuff. Thanks for all the help.

This is how my 33r sit now -

20mm for reasonably low like Ash's.

If yours is lower than that, 25-30mm.

i dont understand this reasoning, your saying if its lower get wider spacers..how come??

ED**oh wait this is a camber thing right??

Sorta.

Plus, if you lower than what height the GTR Ash have posted pic, 20mm will sunk further in hence wider spacer may be required (of course it all depends on what sort of look the OP want).

Also don't forgot, tyres are one thing you need to consider whether you want tucking in or sticking out - again depends on height of the car, camber etc etc.

Thanks for clearing that up dude, appreciate it, but im still a little confused

I dont really know how to get to what i want, I want that hella flush look, where the wheels and gaurds are as close as possible, and maybe a little wheel tuck?

If i was to use 25mm spacers, you think it'l do the trick?

how far are you looking to go? like this

for that look youll need at least 30mm spacers on the rears and maybe more like 40 on the front. then get some 195 tyres and some adjustable camber arms front and rear. and lower it like 3 inches. and roll your guards

It may do the trick, best for you to try and see how you feel.

I think your wasting your time going for the hellaflush look on stock wheels. Better to save the spacer money and hunt for new wheels

Your right in that regards, actually me and another member on here were looking at a set of Rota's P45r 19x10 +20, for his r32 and my r33. He got them, but when i sold my old wheels that were on my gtr i didn't make as much as i thought i would. So i thought, i'll make it look decent for summer (by using the spacers) and spend my money on something else (looking for a e30 bmw convertible atm).

If only money grew on trees :(

    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
    • Yes sir am asking is there possible way from aem tuner from wiring pins 
    • Have you checked cam to crank timing and confirmed balancer marks are correct?
