9.5 +45 on the front will be interesting, I'm thinking you will need decent sized spacers on the front as well so it doesnt look heaps sunken, may have issues hitting the suspension without spacers as well although im not sure about that

All right I run a 9 +14 on the rear with 3degrees neg camber and rim is out side the guard ,so a 10.5 + 20 with a 7mm spacer is going to stick out 20mm more and have 18mm less clearance inside ???? How's that going to fit? Jet r 31 runs a 9.5 + 25 with a 5mm spacer so they don't fowl his rear coils so that works out to 9.5+20 so yours would have 6mm less clearance to the strut so it would hit and extend 20mm more ?

you 'might' get lucky and get the rear to work with a 7mm spacer (15 would be better to gain you some inner clearance).. below are pics of 18x9.5+0 all round, the car has an s14 cradle fitted (same width as manual stagea) with 3deg negative camber on the fronts and half a degree negative on the rear. the 20x10.5+20 with a 7mm spacer will have the outer edge sitting exactly the same but i've included a pic of the inner clearance i had - which is why i suggested a slightly bigger spacer as the 20" rim in more than likely to foul on the coilover spring seat/spring. with an auto rear cradle you'll be up shit creek.

front will fit with a 25mm spacer, but i'd recommend something like 40mm or so to at least have them match the way the rears will fit.

good luck.

Hmmm, I have r34 gtr wheels on the car now. There 18x9 +30 all the way round, I just assumed the 20x10.5 +25 would sit 5mm less from hanging out the guard, and thought the front would hang out 15mm more. Why is it so confusing? Can anyone here put me onto a good workshop that will make this work? I will just pay cash so I don't have to stress and do manual labour trying different things.

seems you don't quite understand how how offset and width are related, punch some numbers in to this to get a feel for it http://www.1010tires.com/Tools/Wheel-Offset-Calculator

honestly, if you want the simplest option it would be to buy another pair of the 9.5+45's and run 25mm spacers all round.. then the final result would only stick out just over 10mm more than the current r34gt-r wheels you have on your car now.

This is what i have to deal with, rears fit nicely. Hang out abit tho, gonna buy the right tyres for rear soonish.

Fronts i need spacers maybe 10mm to clear the brakes or even 7mm. plus i need the right tyres also, i will be stretching tyres to go on these rims, only option i have really......

took some shit pictures of my brakes on front my apologies.

they suit the red perfectly, but i guess it depends how you define 'fit'. i think you'll still run in to dramas with the rear, more-so the inner clearance - have you checked? only reason i ask is because we've all seen the tell tale marks of metal to metal contact on the threads of rear coilovers in these things from running ~9.5+15 when going over bumps (ie gaining more camber when the suspension compresses) and a 10.5+25 has 23mm less clearance, so those wheels would have to be sitting pretty darn close already..

theyll fit easy with a narrower tyre and some camber. would roll your guards to be safe too

as above, camber isn't an option with the little clearance he'd already have to the rear strut

big +1 on the big brake kit!

    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • 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.  
    • 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
