Installed my whiteline swaybars + bushings, hardrace camber arms & BC Coilovers. Put on new wheels. Volk Ray GTCs 20x10.5 + 18 front + rear. I'm thinking it needs to be slightly lower with a lit

hey guys what would the title be for the above product? looks good i may want to change the silver plastic look...

If you were referring to mine, it was from mimoUSA. They do dash kits for the G35, but were able to convert that to the RHD v35 and take into account things like not having the analogue clock in the middle. They use real carbon fibre.

I bought mine through ebay.

The material itself seems to be pretty high quality. The finish is good, as is the adhesive. The fit was pretty spot on for each part of the dash. The only thing that concerns me were the cuts - some were rough - I had to take a stanley knife to a couple of edges.

I think this is because I chose real carbon fibre as opposed to a different finish - it may be thicker than normal? I'm not sure.

All I can say is the more I drive the car, the more I like the look of the kit!

That looks fkn hot

They look like front 19 9.5 +12 and rear 19 10.5 +12 ????

I was gonna but the exact same setup ... Need to sell my oem rays first

Yes, that is the spec

Is your car lowered on springs or coilovers?

Cheap coilovers, but they do the job. Rears are maxxed, fronts could go much lower.

is it just me or is it half up on the gutter so looks lower :lol:

It is 1/2 on the gutter, but height is still the same. Some more crap phone photo's.

Original height was too low so raised by about 10mm, this was how it sat before I raised it:

It is relatively easy to drop the rear, 275 35 19's only scrub on heavy bumps with someone in the back seat. The front is lower by default due to the stock staggered fitment. I cheated by running a square setup with 245 40 19's on the front. Same rolling diam as rear so give you more clearance and close the tyre/arch gap. I've had stretched tyres before and do like the look, you have to go real low to pull it off. 235's on the front would be an easier fit. Oh and fat is the new stretch, haven't you heard :woot:

275 35 rear, 245 40 front

I was told by a tyre shop that if u ran less profile on rears, the car would not sit balanced, the rear would be lower than the fronts, is this true?

the guy recommended me get 40's all round or 35 on front and 40 on rear.

Stock runs staggered. The profile is the same, widths differ, so overall diameter is different front to rear (rear is bigger). The danger of running square (what I have now) is tripping the stability control, the computer thinks the rear is spinning faster than the front and kicks in. Hasn't happened yet and the opinion on the internet is mixed so I will see how I go.

The only benefit is you gain some ride height and loose some guard clearance.

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!

      From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.

      That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.

      I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.

      If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
