Hi guys as topic says I purchased my rays te37 time attacks earlier today and has rays/volks printing on the casting but the owner says it doesn't have stickers or I think he maybe can't find them on inaidw of the barrels, he advertised them as 18x11+18 now mind you guys these are Goinf on an r32 Gtr with rolled guards, I personally and few other guys think these aren't 11" as they have 265 tyres all around and aren't even that stretched, some people said for a 265 to be wrapped around an 11" wheel will need to be really stretched as 295s are recommended for them, here is a pic

No they won't fit. Tyre walls meant to be vertical. What is the point of buying good wheels that won't fit your car and then putting stupidly small tyres on them? If you want to run 265s a set of 9in wheels will do it.If you want to run 11in wheels get some 295s as you say and get a panelbeater to make you some massive guards.

LOL.

265 on an 11" is already eh and cheap..... but when you look closely, they stretched nankangs T_T.

If you didn't know, Nankangs are very very average tyres.

You will have a lot of trouble fitting them to your car.
18x10.5 +22 with 265/35/18 is probably the better fit.

Yeah they look like 11" wide with those 265 tyres stretched that far. Those sidewalls are almost at 45°. OP doesn't really care about grip nor performance it seems.

Get adjustable upper arms front and rear, run about -3° to -4° camber all round then slam it. Don't forget to sticker bomb one front guard.

So this is your reason for not going ahead with buying my Volk GTC's.

I mistakenly thought you were looking for a set of rims that fit a 32 GTR, not that you were looking for a set of rims that wouldn't !

Here I was trying to convince you that my rims were built for GTR's, fit and sit flush with no scrub.

Doh! - Now I realise I must have seemed stoopid to you.

You should have started off telling me you were after heooge camber & stretch/stance, didn't care about legal, performance or safety.

Then I could have just ignored instead of wasting time. Sorry mate I'm not a fan of that particular style/look and lack of driveability.

Damn these kids move on quickly these days. Back in my day, it was all about neon lights and candy apple paint.

My days too..

You'll be surprised actually. Neon lights are coming back...

Well.. LED lights.. and not so much colour... more a "glow" effect.

Anyways, back on topic, have sent you a pm OP.

Some like to cruise in their lowrider and some want to race at the track.

We all have different taste.

I probly dont like your fav colour, but who cares?

So "what fits" is up to you.

Do what pleases YOU.

You're right up to a point - neons, stickers, etc are a matter of choice but excessively stretched tyres have the potential to make the driver a danger to others.

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      By Duncan · Posted

      Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.

      Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it

      Coolant leak?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground

      Coolant leak?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
