Hey guy's, new to the forums.

I just have a few questions,

ive just brought a R33 GTS-T, bone stock,

i wanted to get a set of wheels, (18" prefered) (18x8, 18x7)

i was wondering what size i can fit under the guards no problem, i also want to get it lowered (not too much tho). i was going to get a set from tempe tyres or some where like that,

so is there any offsets or other things i need to know about before buying?

also, im after a full exhaust system (from turbo all the way). im in Syd,

any help apriciated.

thanks

Matt

18x8 on the front 235/40, 18x9 on the back 255 or 265/35. Tempe Tyres will now what fits and what doesn’t I'd say they have done a few. Get a whiteline package springs and shocks lowers the car by about 30mm that's all you need any lower and the R33 don't perform well. You will also need a castor and camber kit when lowering it so you can get it wheel aligned properly.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

If you lower it with just the springs you will still need the castor and camber kit or you will chow out your new tyres, plus if you still have the original shocks in there I'd say they have had there day, so like hawks said if you can afford it get the shocks, springs and castor and camber bushes.

When I done the springs in mine I found out that I was rideing just on the springs the shocks droped straight down as soon as I undone the pillow mount.

    • Yeah and hence my ghetto way of slamming the brakes, get the ABS to cycle, rebleed seems to be a sensible workaround.
    • Hey! Happy to help. Nothing inherently wrong with the adapter, it's more so with Brett Collins himself. He gave me a lot of incorrect information when I was in contact with him and was extremely rude when I challenged him. He stated I could not use any aftermarket twin plate clutches except for his own, not to use the dush shield, bla bla bla and it was all BS.  Collins stated to cut roughly 14mm's off the housing, I took off 15mm to make room for the dust shield. I would confirm with whatever adapter manufacturer you're using. 
    • There's plenty of OEM steering arms that are bolted on. Not in the same fashion/orientation as that one, to be sure, but still. Examples of what I'm thinking of would use holes like the ones that have the downward facing studs on the GTR uprights (down the bottom end, under the driveshaft opening, near the lower balljoint) and bolt a steering arm on using only 2 bolts that would be somewhat similarly in shear as these you're complainig about. I reckon old Holdens did that, and I've never seen a broken one of those.
    • Let's be honest, most of the people designing parts like the above, aren't engineers. Sometimes they come from disciplines that gives them more qualitative feel for design than quantitive, however, plenty of them have just picked up a license to Fusion and started making things. And that's the honest part about the majority of these guys making parts like that, they don't have huge R&D teams and heaps of time or experience working out the numbers on it. Shit, most smaller teams that do have real engineers still roll with "yeah, it should be okay, and does the job, let's make them and just see"...   The smaller guys like KiwiCNC, aren't the likes of Bosch etc with proper engineering procedures, and oversights, and sign off. As such, it's why they can produce a product to market a lot quicker, but it always comes back to, question it all.   I'm still not a fan of that bolt on piece. Why not just machine it all in one go? With the right design it's possible. The only reason I can see is if they want different heights/length for the tie rod to bolt to. And if they have the cncs themselves,they can easily offer that exact feature, and just machine it all in one go.
