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 :)

    • Just had this happen to me too.  R32 GTR.   Also broke "just before going out onto the track" - someone up there is looking out for us... Very scary since I was about to do a narrow street course with zero run-off and curbs everywhere. Many people on here upgrading to billet uprights and R35 bearings?   Or buying new OEM knuckles?  I am not keen to replace with another s/h 30 year old fatigued part.
    • Top off with distilled water and see what happens. If you keep losing coolant then you know to start looking.
    • Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win? 
    • So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?
    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
