I bought some 18x9.5 +22 rays which I'm about to pop on mine, under the recommendation of mike (forum member) I have also bought some adjustable camber and Toe arms for the rear to help them sneak under (gktech billet numbers) to avoid rolling the guards. Apparently 245/40 18 is the tyre size you would be after to avoid rubbing.

I'll let you know how they fit in a couple of weeks :)

harts.

The fronts will fit fine the backs will sit I a fair way . Have a look at" jet r31" stagea he is running the se offset from memory or very close to think 9.5 +22.your fronts will fit the same but as said your backs will sit further in due to smaller cradle if I had a manual cradle id prob be trying to run a ten on the rear ,

I ran staggered fitment for a while. 8.5" front, 9.5" rears. both had 235/40 tyres. They were fine until the tyres started to wear, then I started having some funny vibrations under load.

I then fitted 9.5's up front as it looked a little funny..

What are the measurements for most of you running wide rims in the rear? Shock - rim, shock collar - tyre, rim - guard etc.

on a 9.5" 245/35/19 mine are: 15mm rim to shock. 10mm shock collar to tyre. 5mm poke.

Do most of you use standard struts with springs?

Hmmm ok so what's the rule with staggered fitment and

attesa? As long as the tyres are the same width?

No its not the width its the rolling circumference that's important and ideally the width will be the same too as otherwise there will be a difference in grip.

Yep, make sure your rolling diameters are the same front and rear... It's much cheaper and easier to choose the right diameters than it is to remove, repair and replace the transfer case.

Yep, not sure if I'll go staggered just yet. Might be going for a set of cheap 18x9.5 +30 all round that I've come across for a while until I can get the the $ together for some more aggressive Meisters and coil overs.

They'll fit directly on no hassles and look waaaay better than the stockies for now

I picked up a 97 WGNC34 AUTO,AWD and has the 4pot front and 2 pot rear brakes(same as ECR33 GTS33).Its currently factory height and if I lower it, it will be done with GTR33 lowering springs. I am looking at putting 18in rims and tires on the car. need to know will 18x9.5 will be to wide and what offset to use, and should I go with 235/35/18 all around or 245/35/18 all around? I also don't want to do a BIG stretch or roll the fenders also.

these r the rims I am looking at for my stag

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
