Hi fellas,

I recently came across an opportunity to buy off a mate a set of black Volk TE37's in 19x9.5+12 all round and plan to run on 275/30/19 tires.

I have heard contrasting views, some saying this offset looks best whereas some suggest 19x10.5+22 is the better, but various people seem to run the 19x9.5+12 more frequent. Can someone please share with me their experiences on a R33 GTR and best tire profile as noticed chunkier profiles look best on a R33 GTR.

It looks good on his R34 GTR, but not sure it will look good on my fatter R33? Just don't want to buy them and regret it!! Please help!! They seem to look ok on 350Z's??

Pictures would be great!!

Thanks.

SM

R33/34 GTR.

19x10.5 +15 or + 12.

Other sizes will work. But size above in 18/19 is best IMO.

Will fill guards the most.

X9.5 +10-20 works as well but will sit in the guards. Noticeably.

best offset would be +12 or +15 but then again that all depends on the size available to you.

i wouldnt go for the 9.5 even tho they do have good offset. id hold out out for atleast 10" wide with the same offset. would look that little bit more aggressive

Thanks mate for the advice. If I were to go for the +9.5, would it still look ok?

you could always just put some spacers behind them to push them out that bit more if you are realy worried about it.

if you used say a 12mm spacer that would basically make them 10" wide.

ive only ever had 10.5" wide on my gtr with the 3 sets of rims ive owned so i cant give personal advice on how it would look

So you think 19x9.5+12 with custom 12mm spacer plates would look tough as 19.10.5+12? surely with spacers, it would look just as tough as x10.5 in terms of width, right mate?

Thanks all.

19 x 9.5 +12 will just give you more lip and a tad more concave on the spokes, which will give a more aggressive look on you wheels.

19 x 10.5 +22 will give you better rear traction due to it being a inch wider of tyre but a less aggressive offset.

R33 GTR's have wide rear guards, preferably you run 19 x 10.5 +12 as the stock R33 GTR wheels are 17 x 9 +30 and the look tiny.

But if you got 19 x 10.5 +22, it should still look ok but won't fill out the guards as good as 19 x 10.5 +12.

19 x 10.5 +12 fills out the guards nicely.

Don't bother running spacers and get the correct offset to fill out the guards.

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.

      Skyline v36 350GT sedan hunting on idle

      By Robot · Posted

      Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣

      After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
