yup, i have had an R34 where the wheels did fit over the brakes and normal driving was fine, but if you gave the brakes a good push the caliper would hit the spokes, never had the balls to push it really hard to see what would happen, but with china wheels it would be a bad ending.

1mm clearance is on the small side.  Expect something to rub somewhere.  Everything bends!

Hey your alive.
I think it's more than 1mm. I'll do a measurement to make sure. That was me just eye balling the space. I'm also thinking of upgrading the brakes as well.
That will give way more room as the caliper would more on the concave side of the rim. But that's later down at some point.

Well today I checked out a friend's r33 gtr that has 19 inch gtc's on it. He has it in storage, but drived it for a little bit. I'll attach photos. His had about 2mm. Clearance when I checked it out today. He had no clearance problems. I looked at my setup again today after work and measured it. 2.2mm is my clearance. So I'm sure I have found a perfectly good solution to my fitment problems. As a bonus. I have downloaded the stoptech template at 355x35 BBK kit and this will allow me to run a way way small spacer and even increase my clearance problem fender/guard to wheel situation. People talk about cheap wheels this and that. Just food for thought here as it reminds me of a history lesson I learned way way back in school, keeping in mind there is no price to place on your life, and in saying that, what's quality really when your life is on the line. I'm sure there will be a douch bag that will miss understand my point. Simple
While the Germans were building the best tanks for war. The yanks were building literally crap for tanks. Where the Germans took 6 months to get there engines just right the Janks put out 2 completed tanks by then. In short it was 8 yank tanks to one German tanks. Quantity won the war even tho the Germans built a better tank. Just to blow the crap out of them. If we could insure a war I wonder how it would have turned out.

    • 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  
    • 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
    • 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?
