Anyone know what could make an r33 rear axle sit slightly over from where it should be? IE rear left wheel poked out, rear right wheel sunken ~25mm? Collapsed bushings?

something like that....has it taken a hit in the rear side on? usually moves the subframe but thats def where i would be looking!

have you had the car in for alignment checks?

If that's the case is that repairable? I've had it into Pedders before for alignment and suspension install and they never mentioned it.

I took it back to them thinking one side ride height was off but he said it was normal, and then said the rear end looks like it's tightened off to one side.

Nissan factory.... although normally not 25mm

there was a discussion about this a while back and many R33 owners came forward and noted that their car was like this.

Seems to be something normal and unproblematic and not (necessarily) because or a kerb bash and subframe and alignment damage.

Tho not to say that this isnt the case with your car or some examples of this one wheel sitting out furhter that the other...

sure not 235/40?

will look good man.... just be careful not to pull the front guards at all when you lip them and give the rears a good nudge from way up inside and they should both sit flush

Ok, they have 35 on them apparently , (2nd hand) so ill have to factor that in, could be a miss type on his end,

might be a 245/35 that's also reasonably common and will work but not quite as well as a 235/40... bombtrack is running them on his 9.5's with no hastles

I'm guessing 17x8 +5 on the front of a 32 gtst won't have enough caliper clearance? My 16x8 +0 didn't fit my front without a 15mm spacer...

The 17x8 +5 in question a stich mesh wheels.

depends on the brand...

with most jap rims caliper clearance is not affected by offset, rather by face

Thanks, you have a point, I've since found out that it would fit :)

I've been trying to source a set of r33 gtr rims for my 32 gtst. What sized tyres would be good? I usually run 235/45/17 with my other set that are 17x8.5 +30, the gtr rims are 17x9 +30 if I'm not mistaken. Could I fit a wider tyre in the back than a 235?

What are 18s going to sit like on a 34 gtt with

9.5 fronts +30 and

9.5 +12 rears?

Tires will only be

235 - 35 F

255 - 35 R

That's what I plan on running on my 34 cept +20 rears, I measured the +20s should be flush... I plan on running very little camber though as im tryin to get 500hp to the ground!

I ran 9.5+12 with a low car (tyres just tucked) and 320rwkw... had very little camber on the rears and had to massage the inner guards a little to get it to fit with a 235/40

    • That R31 was so cool. Only did Orange Park once. Scared the hell out of me.
    • Selling my TE37SLs since I've switched to smaller wheels.  They're for sale in Japan but it's pretty simple to send them overseas; USA excluded, since JPPost isn't sending there at the moment. Specs Front: 18x9.5j +22 5x114 Rear: 18x10j +20 5x114 Price: 320,000 JPY/ 3,285 AUD (current FX rate) Condition: a few scratches here and there, no bends, distortions or cracks.  Tires will not be included for international buyers, I'll get them dismounted before shipping. They're currently listed on yahoo auction and will be shipped in Japan with the tires if they sell here. Shipping costs to Aus: EMS (1-2 weeks): AUD 1,175 (current FX rate) Sea (2 months): AUD 460  (current FX rate)
    • The alloy coolant reservoir has a sight glass, so as long as I can see coolant in the sight glass it's GTG, as for PS, it isn't anything catastrophic if it gets low, and as it hasn't lost a drop since I have owned the car I cannot see it being an issue, even after putting the "big block" 2.5 in....LOL The only time it gets slightly messy is at oil changes, as the oil filter sits above the frame, and I need to use a plastic bottle with its bottom cut off to catch the flow when loosening the filter
    • Good on you for taking on the job, but it is a big one. Even if you have bolt on manifold and turbo, you will need: Post throttle pressure source to boost controller to wastegate (and FPR, and ECU/MAP sensor) Pre throttle pressure source to top of BOV(s) Oil feed - you can take that from the standard port in the middle of the block Oil return to block under the turbo - this is much trickier than it seems to route a decent/wide pipe past the manifold. You really can't use rubber hose because it is way too hot there, and also the oil out of the turbo core is a bit frothy so it needs to have a decent diameter Water feed - you can take that from the standard port in the rear of the block. Water return - mine runs to a T into the heater box return, just make sure you don't create a high point making bleeding hard. All of those lines should use 200 series style teflon braided hose with heat shielding because everything needs to be routed past the manifold. Also a turbo beanie is a really good idea to minimise the chance of the car catching fire (under bonnet lining in particular) You also need to decide a cam cover breathing solution as well, will you vent externally via a catch can (probably illegal) or return to the intake (plumbing required and can oil up everything over time) Keep in mind the intake and exhaust piping in the engine bay will be custom so you either need to be able to fab ally and steel or have someone you can get a car that isn't running to. Get the wideband fitting welded into the dump pipe at the same time. Also, just my opinion, a screamer pipe attracts attention and doesn't add power, I'd plumb it back if you want to be allowed to keep the car on the road. BTW do you know anything about how healthy the motor is, and what power you are targeting? Doubling or tripling the factory power on an unknown motor is a little risky. Also fuel system will need some attention (pumps, high current hanger, direct power and earth feed, injectors etc)
