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.

    • 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).
