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

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way.

    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
