not that i know off??

I have bought a set of rims and they arent sitting the same as the exact same items on my old 33 GTR. I cant understand why... just need some comparisons.

And if anyone is running 18x10 +18 id love to come over and just see how they sit

Its going into a suspension place today to check it out for me, camber etc. But to the naked eye it doesnt seem to bad... i mean on my last GTR the rims sat around 3mm inside the gaurds. these sit a solid inch!

I may have found the problem. Has anyone ever heard of this. The place measured the offset and said it's around + mid to late 30s and not +18, even tho they are clearly marked +18?? This would explain a lot but I've never heard of this happening before? ? ?

Does anyone else have XD9s in this size?

Maybe they have had the mounting face machined down at some stage.

Make sure that they measured them to the tyre bead not the edge of the rim, 12 mm isn't much difference.

Yer I just got home and measured it myself. The rims right, they were wrong.

Back to square one....

Does anyone in Adelaide have a stock 33 Gtr that would allow me to test these rims front and back on?

Or better yet have a set of 18x10 + 18s on a 33 Gtr?

Really need help guys...

    • That still isn't a lot to go on. I don't have a Y50 Fuga Head Unit wiring diagram. I can say that a lot of nissans of that age shared head unit plugs, so if you are in Australia something like this would probably help: https://aerpro.com/app091# You plug that into the car loom, then either plug the head unit ISO into that (if it has ISO), or you buy and ISO adapter harness that you wire in. Bit of stuffing around, but once you have ISO its easy to change things in future.
    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
