Dose GTR have the same offset in wheels?
Same offset as what? A Kenworth truck? Morris 850 Mini? What are we supposed to compare the offset to?

As to the second Q, NFI, as I have been unable to decipher exactly what the question is!

Well then, on a GT-R (any GT-R), the fronts and rears should be the same size and same offset, and the tyres should be the same size.

You can go as big in diameter as the tyres you can afford, and I believe you can get up to 10" wide under the guards.

Hi Guys, I have never seen 10's on an R32 with out some guard work, no problems on an R33 or R34 GTR. In fact I have seen an R34 GTR with 10.5's on it but with 285/35/18's tyres. Realistically without guard mods, 9's seem to be the common size on R32 GTR's.

As for front and rear sizes being different, there are plenty of R33 GTR's with 10's on the rear and 9 's on the front. With 305's on the rear and 275's on the front. I can't see any problem with different sizes, the ATTESSA won't care. The rolling diameter difference is a furphy, what happens if you have new tyres on the front and old ones on the rear? There is 8 mm of tread on a new tyre, that's a substantial difference in circumference.

As for wheel offsets, if I change the camber and/or caster on the front I am effecting the SAI and the KPI. This is basically the same as changing the wheel offset and there are plenty of GTR's with non-standard caster and camber. So I think that's a furphy as well.

On the race cars we do run the same size tyres and wheels on the front and rear, but that is mostly so we can easily swap them around. Having different front and rear is a pain when you change the wheels as often as we do.

Hope that adds something to the thread

Hey Sydneykid,

I am currently trying to find out if you can run 280/40/17's all round on a stock (no body mods) R33 GTR. From what you have said here, am I assuming this is no problem??

That being the case, does anyone know who makes a single piece 10" rim to fit these tyres? (without being toooo pricey)

Comments would be appreciated

    • You know how your car rolled through a fence in your last jacking escapade? Scissor jacks increase the likely hood of that sort of thing happening immensely!
    • http://calfinn.com.au/product/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c   I have this and fits under a S3 33 GTR with no issues. Purchased in 2009 and not one issue. It was $950 back then. Not cheap but something so important isn’t worth cheaping out on.
    • Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?
    • Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).
    • Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
