I was considering powder-coating my XT7s in black for my R34, but decided against it.

Now you're making me think about it again damn you lol.

But I must agree with previous comments......one of the toughest 33 GTS-T's around.

Just needs that front lip painted black to finish it off :P

Thanks for that, what about 18x9 +4 f and 18x10 +4 r would take fair bit of work to tuck them in hey?

Fronts with a 215 or 225 would need a roll and pulling out, depending on height of course. Rear will need a roll and possibly a pull also depending on how much camber your going to run and how flush you want it. But it would look great lol

Mr Hamish,

You reckon you could tuck 18x9.5 +14 in your 33 as is with same size tyres you're using on SSR's?

easy... I have had 9.5+18's on there with no hastles

my new rims are gonna be 10+18's btw

dont forget my guards are pulled tho.... why?

Thanks for that, what about 18x9 +4 f and 18x10 +4 r would take fair bit of work to tuck them in hey?

9+4 would be doable on my rig, but 10+4 would need more flaring or camber.

still easily doable tho

Hamish,

I'm selling the GTR for another GTST, and I remember there's some room in your front guards when you have the professors in when I looked at it last.

So your answer is very useful, thanks for that, how much have you pulled the guards?

Cheers

Grant

Hi All, I've read through this entire thread so I apologise in advance if I shouldn't ask this here (please direct me to the right spot)

I've come across some Works XD9's which are 18x9 +30 all round without tires. From everything I've read it seems these should fit fine on my R34 Sedan and will probably stick out about 5mm on the front? Anybody able to help with this?? Also they don't have tires, what's my best bet in terms of nice fitment?? (or is it best I just take the car to a tyre shop somewhere, I'm in Perth btw)

They are currently bronze but after seeing Blaqs I'm very tempted to go black also coz once you go black... =P

thanks in advance lads

    • So last night pulling away from the lights, I lost power for about 1 second. Bit weird, but I kept driving... 5 minutes later the pump completely dies. When I tried to start the car, the pump won't even prime.  I left the car for about an hour, tried to start it and it all appeared fine. Pump primed, car started, got the fuel pressure I should have.... Start driving home, 5 minutes later it dies again. I'm stuck in a shit spot this time going up hill with a car right behind me, so I just let the car continue to turn over while praying to the fuel pump gods. After about 2 minutes of turning the engine over, the fuel pump came back to life and I got home (only about another 5 min away).  So I've been digging around online, it seems like the 525 fuel pumps really don't like to be run at 100% all the time. I've found quite a few examples online of people killing their Walbro 525 pumps within about a year of usage when they are run without PWM.  So, my pump is an Aeroflow 525 (AF49-1057) and I've been running it at 100% without PWM. I'm thinking the Aeroflow 525 didn't like being run at 100% and has burnt itself up.  I really am sick of dealing with fuel pump issues, my current thoughts are -  1. Use a Walbro 450 and run it without PWM. It seems like these pumps hold up pretty well to being run at 100% all the time. I only make about 350kw and can't see me making any more power any time soon so this is probably a fine option.  2. Get a Walbro 525, run it with PWM. I know doing this will annoy me as I feel like with only 350kw, its extra expense that I don't "need" and I'll be thinking the whole time while setting it up that I should have gone with option 1. I know I'll be happy with this option when its setup and running, its only the initial setup frustration and cost as an issue.  3. Get a Walbro BKS1001 brushless pump. This is the fu*k it I'm already going PWM, might as well go full retard. This option just seems better in every way, with the only downside being cost. But I don't know much about this pump so I could be wrong.  Happy to get everyone's thoughts before I go digging around in the fuel tank again. 
    • Doing it this weekend. For sure this time. Thank you forum gods.  And im running map sensor now with the haltech. Still have the AFMs attached to the mushroom dome shaped air filter things
    • Actually, it is probably pretty legit. I mean, it's still woke feminazi bullshit academia, but you would have to agree that it is very likely that there would be a correlation between wanting a loud exhaust and scoring at the unpleasant end of the scales for dark triad personality traits. The fact that they found it didn't correlate with narcissism and only with psychopathy and sadism definitely shows that the loud exhaust thing is more of a "f**k you" than a "look at me", and I reckon that rings pretty close to most of the dickheads who take it to the extreme. Remember, this is correlation with tendency to be closer to one end of a personality trait scale than the other end. Of course someone who is at the literal opposite end of the psychopathy scale is going to be so considerate of others that they wouldn't even think about wanting to upset anyone with a loud exhaust. So the finding isn't that "you are a psychopath". Just that you score more towards that end of the scale than someone who doesn't like loud exhausts (on average, not necessarily even for specific individuals).
    • Blitz ER34 at some point hopefully, should be allowed in Gr3 if they do.
    • Stock R33 boost control, with the exhaust, and FMIC done, will boost creep. There is no tuning around it if it is the factory boost solenoid.   If it has an aftermarket electronic boost controller, the settings/mapping can be altered in it.   Oil could be anything as mentioned, however did it ever do it before you did the turbo swap? How much and how often did you drive the car before the swap?   I'm hinging on too much oil supply, or it's not draining properly.   To check, pull the air outlet off the turbo. Is it full of oil? Drop the exhaust at the turbo, does it appears to be oiled/coked? Now pull turbo and check the exhaust manifold, does it appears oiled and coked the same way?   Secondly, the PCV could even be stuffed / not functioning properly and will cause blowing of blue smoke.
