hey guys and girls just wondering what rims people have on the r33 and what the biggest size I can go would be without rolling the gaurds or using flares, obviously I wanna run 18 inch rims but am unsure of how wide I can go before I have to roll the gaurds. im after wider wheels on the rear than the front but not to much different that it looks noticibly shit any advice??

I was looking at konig milligram rims 18x8.5 front and 18x9.5 rear or same rim but 18x9.5 front and 18x10 rear would these be fine on the 33 and will they fill the gaurds out nicely?? another thing so you have all details is that the car will be standard ride hight and if I lower it it will only be between 7-12mm or there abouts. also what cmber and caster would be good for this sort of setup.

if these rims wont be a good setup for the r33 what do you guys suggest?? post rim brand and size and offset if you could so I can have a idea of what fits and what to look for cheers peeps.

EDT: also I want deepdish rear but not front but want the same rim design front and rear is this possible?

there is tonnes of info in there. If you roll your guards and run camber arms you can go wider. If not prob stick around 9 +30 for the front and 9.5 +30 or 10+40 for the rears.

You prob wanna research it as good wheels and offset makes or breaks a car

cheers man yours looks nice, yeah didn't really wanna roll gaurds or anything just yet just wanted some 18s I could jst drop straight on coz 17's just don't fill the wheel arch properly lol eah I looked at all the forums on here but it just confused me more coz everyone was running different offsets ect so this will be good for a standard ride hight yeah

will I be able to pull off 9.5 for fronts with 10 rears or is 9 the max for fronts wihout mods

      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.

      Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
