to my above question

i asked a mate who has had a different sets of rims on hes 32 and reckons that the 18 x 9 +30 will be fine

he suggests a 215 front tyre and 225 rear, i dont mind having tyres stretched a tad and will suit the car nicely

sorry for all this newbie questions not the best with offsets and that

Cheers

u can make it fit, depending on the tyre you run up front and the offset all around.

18x9.5 +35 with 255/35 all round. Would that fit without needing to lip/flare the guards? Also, would that be the most suitable size tyre, or should I be looking at 235/40 or something?

235/40 would be a much better option for a daily driver, 255's will scrub on the guards and possibly on the suspension up front. 255's are overkill, especially up front, better of spending more a quality smaller tyre. also not 100% sure about 18x9.5 +35's fitting up front, id be worried about upper control arm clearance, saying that im not too sure how much clearance R33's have.

quick questioin

which would fit better to my sedan

18 x 8 +35 all round

or

18 x 9 +30 all round

car will be fair low as well, so might need liping?

Cheers

depends what tyres u run, if u run relative sizes for each width, for example a 215 on the 8" and a 235 on the 9", the 8" with the 215 will have more clearance both from suspension and guards. 9" will sit a lot more nicer and allow better sized tyres, and still fit as long as u long as u dont run over a 235-245 up front.

215 and 225 will be fine, but as i said u could get away with a 235 up front, and probably like a 255 up the rear if u really wanted.

first id ask why u want to run 255's all round, u could get away with smaller tyres easily while maintaining the same traction. im not 100% sure how much inner clearance there is on a R33, but id suspect u couldnt go much over a +35 at the front, to be safe id probably go +30, even so ur looking at issues with guard clearance. id be going a quality 235 instead, will probably cost similar $$ and provide better steering response and clearance.

For circuit work, with slicks

For road rally work i am thinking 8F & 9R

Hey I'm looking at buying some 20"x8" (yes i know 20s on a skyline is a bit of overkill, i want something that will really fill the guards though)

anyway, just wondering if they will fit

20x8

+42 offset

235/30/20 tyres all round

my cars lowered on adjusties, isn't slammed, sits at a nice level, bit lower than super low king springs

Cheers

and no they aren't bling bling chromies lol, they're dished black wheels

doubt it, rear they will probably fit no worries, fronts i strongly doubt it, will most likely foul on the UCA's pretty bad.

Quick question, do you think 17x9 +20's all round with 225/40 tyres would be too much for a R32 GTST 2 door with stock guards at quite a low height (currently 17x7s all round, tyres in guards almost)?

Edited by Ceffy_SA
^^will sit very nice depending on camber, but u will need to roll the guards, no pulling or flaring needed.

Ok thanks that was the answer i was looking for, not my car but a friends, will be having the wheels fitted by Wheelworx this weekend, sill put pics up when its all done.

Any thoughts on R33 GTR rims (17x9) on a 32 GTSt?

I have a set and they fit fine with stretched 215/45/17 rubber. I am planning on using them as track wheels so I can run 235/40/17 RE55's all round and rotate them.

I'm expecting to need to flare the guards a bit but i don't mind that. Might even buy fibreglass front guards that are wider.

I'm a bit concerned about hitting the suspension. Has anyone had this combo before with wider width rubber?

thanks,

Russ

Wheel diameter = 18

Wheel width = 9.5

Wheel offset = +35, but with the 15 mm spacers this has changed. Can somone tell me what they are now? +20?

Tyre size = 235/45/18

Modifications to fit = 15mm bolt on spacers all round to clear the brakes + lipped and rolled guards.

Yeah 20 now. Further out is a smaller number. That's a pretty aggresive offset! Did you need the spacers to clear the suspension?

i ran 235/45's all day every day on R33 GTR rims, 17x9 +30 with a 235/45 is pretty much the limit for inner clearance, u wont need a flare to fit it in the guard, but ull need to roll the guard, which is something u need to do to fit any decent size wheel. depends how much camber u are running as well, but imo its perfect size for stock guards.

Hi guys, as for me I have

Skyline model = R33

Wheel diameter = 18"

Wheel width = 8" front, 9.5'' rear

Wheel offset = 35

Tyre size = 235/45/18 front, 265/45/18 rear,

as for winter (here in Russia its a bit snowy :D ) I put on rear 245/45/18

    • Power is fed to the ECU when the ignition switch is switched to IGN, at terminal 58. That same wire also connects to the ECCS relay to provide both the coil power and the contact side. When the ECU sees power at 58 it switches 16 to earth, which pulls the ECCS relay on, which feeds main power into the ECU and also to a bunch of other things. None of this is directly involved in the fuel pump - it just has to happen first. The ECU will pull terminal 18 to earth when it wants the fuel pump to run. This allows the fuel pump relay to pull in, which switches power on into the rest of the fuel pump control equipment. The fuel pump control regulator is controlled from terminal 104 on the ECU and is switched high or low depending on whether the ECU thinks the pump needs to run high or low. (I don't know which way around that is, and it really doesn't matter right now). The fuel pump control reg is really just a resistor that controls how the power through the pump goes to earth. Either straight to earth, or via the resistor. This part doesn't matter much to us today. The power to the fuel pump relay comes from one of the switched wires from the IGN switch and fusebox that is not shown off to the left of this page. That power runs the fuel pump relay coil and a number of other engine peripherals. Those peripherals don't really matter. All that matters is that there should be power available at the relay when the key is in the right position. At least - I think it's switched. If it's not switched, then power will be there all the time. Either way, if you don't have power there when you need it (ie, key on) then it won't work. The input-output switching side of the relay gains its power from a line similar (but not the same as) the one that feeds the ECU. SO I presume that is switched. Again, if there is not power there when you need it, then you have to look upstream. And... the upshot of all that? There is no "ground" at the fuel pump relay. Where you say: and say that pin 1 Black/Pink is ground, that is not true. The ECU trigger is AF73, is black/pink, and is the "ground". When the ECU says it is. The Blue/White wire is the "constant" 12V to power the relay's coil. And when I say "constant", I mean it may well only be on when the key is on. As I said above. So, when the ECU says not to be running the pump (which is any time after about 3s of switching on, with no crank signal or engine speed yet), then you should see 12V at both 1 and 2. Because the 12V will be all the way up to the ECU terminal 18, waiting to be switched to ground. When the ECU switches the fuel pump on, then AF73 should go to ~0V, having been switched to ground and the voltage drop now occurring over the relay coil. 3 & 5 are easy. 5 is the other "constant" 12V, that may or may not be constant but will very much want to be there when the key is on. Same as above. 3 goes to the pump. There should never be 12V visible at 3 unless the relay is pulled in. As to where the immobiliser might have been spliced into all this.... It will either have to be on wire AF70 or AF71, whichever is most accessible near the alarm. Given that all those wires run from the engine bay fusebox or the ECU, via the driver's area to the rear of the car, it could really be either. AF70 will be the same colour from the appropriate fuse all the way to the pump. If it has been cut and is dangling, you should be able to see that  in that area somewhere. Same with AF71.   You really should be able to force the pump to run. Just jump 12V onto AF72 and it should go. That will prove that the pump itself is willing to go along with you when you sort out the upstream. You really should be able to force the fuel pump relay on. Just short AF73 to earth when the key is on. If the pump runs, then the relay is fine, and all the power up to both inputs on the relay is fine. If it doesn't run (and given that you checked the relay itself actually works) then one or both of AF70 and AF71 are not bringing power to the game.
    • @PranK can you elaborate further on the Colorlock Dye? The website has a lot of options. I'm sure you've done all the research. I have old genuine leather seats that I have bought various refurbing creams and such, but never a dye. Any info on how long it lasts? Does it wash out? Is it a hassle? What product do I actually need? Am I just buying this kit and following the steps the page advises or something else? https://www.colourlockaustralia.com.au/colourlock-leather-repair-kit-dye.html
    • These going to fit over the big brakes? I'd be reeeeeeeeaaaall hesitant to believe so.
    • The leather work properly stunned me. Again, I am thankful that the leather was in such good condition. I'm not sure what the indent is at the top of the passenger seat. Like somebody was sitting in it with a golf ball between their shoulders. The wheels are more grey than silver now and missing a lot of gloss.  Here's one with nice silver wheels.
    • It's amazing how well the works on the leather seats. Looks mint. Looking forward to see how you go with the wheels. They do suit the car! Gutter rash is easy to fix, but I'm curious about getting the colour done.
