hi guys,

I have been sorting through old topics to see if anyone has fitted 18x8.5 +30 offset wheels to an R33 GTR, however i have had no luck. Has anyone done this? does anyone know if it will fit/suit, or will it not fill up the guards and look like ass?

cheers for the help

How is steering on R33 GTR With 10.5 ? is it really heavy bcoz of the width? and does it hit on anything on full lock?

Get some castor and camber going - drives like a dream.

You will find the guard liner will get some rubbing depending on suspension. Mine is not rock hard kidney bashing stuff, so I get slight rubbing with 285s.

Not sure about 265s, I've not really drive the car hard enough with them on yet.

When i say rubbing, it's very very minimal. So much that you cannot hear it whilst driving and only 1-2 spots of inner guard will have marks

Doesn't hit on full lock. Doesn't feel heavy. It actually feels to me just like having stockies on.

Stock camber/caster might be ok, but wind on some castor and then see how it goes.

whilst mine's a 32, it runs heaps of castor and the inner guard cops a bashing.

      How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSPT male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSPT reducing bush? I am making the assumption the OEM sender is BSPT not BSPP/BSP

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use

      I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.

      You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.

      ..this is the current state of that port. I appreciate the info help (and the link to the Earls thing @Duncan). Though going by that it seems like 1/4 then BSP'ing it and using a bush may work. I don't know where I'd be remote mounting the pressure sender... to... exactly. I assume the idea here is that any vibration is taken up by the semiflexible/flexible hose itself instead of it leveraging against the block directly. I want to believe a stronger, steel bush/adapter would work, but I don't know if that is engineeringly sound or just wishful thinking given the stupendous implications of a leak/failure in this spot. What are the real world risks of dissimilar metals here? It's a 6061 Aluminum block, and I'm talking brass or steel or SS adapters/things.
