With the right offset and absolutely NO lipping or rolling of the guards whatsoever, it is absolutely possible to fit 275/40/17" Nitto NT555R's under the guards of your R33 GTS25t.

These are on a 17x8" rim and no i don't know the offset yet.

275 means 27.5cm wide, 40 means the height is 40% of 275 = 11.0cm high. 17 is the diameter of the rims they fit.

I think the trick for the 275s must be in getting the right wheel offset, I had to roll my guards to get 265 to fit without rubbing under load

yeah, well i have this faxed bit of paper - they want measurements:

rear:

hub's face to outer gaurd distance

hub's face to inner most contact point such as spring etc distance

front:

hub face to inner lip of gaurd

hub face to closest steering/suspension

then they ask about offset - the guy said somehting about a offset of 20? so i will have 5" inside of face and 3". He reckons the tyre would almost be flush with the side?

i know **** all about this shit...bah

maybe i should scna the fax :)

      Rusty roof repair

      Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.

      I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent.

      Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.

      So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
