Hey guys great thread. I have had a look but would like some recoomendations as to what numbers to use on my R33 GTS-t. This car will be used predominantly on the track and I prefer 17" wheels (thinking of Rota grid, or P45R or something similar). Im also thinking of going with a staggered set up (9-9.5 rear and 8-8.5 front). I want to run some nice wide tyres also. Questions is, what do those who do track days recommend from their experience?

Cheers

Amir

Thank you to everyone within this thread that answered my questions and provided info, and ultimately helped me select my new wheels (width and offset) Here's the end result (minus big brake kit awa

Thought I'd share my setup since there doesn't seem to be much info/examples out there for this particular setup. Perfect for spirited driving on back/mountain roads, not so ideal for daily driving or

Hey just want a quick answer. Going to buy a set of Lenso D1R's for my daily R33. Would 18x9 +32 (Front) sit flush in the guards

18×10 +22 (Rear) sit flush in the guards

Or what issues am I gonna get

Just like to hear some feedback to help me out.

Assuming Gtst. Fronts will sit inside about 10mm, and rears outside about 15mm. This depends heavily on camber though. I have 18x10+38 which after resetting camber to 0 now sit flush, maybe the tiniest bit of poke, whereas previously looked like they had heaps of room.

12mm wider rim, so 6mm either side. But 8mm larger offset, so will sit in 2mm more than 18x9+32.

You'll also have clearance problems on inside with offset larger than around +25 with 9.5" wide rim.

Best if you learn how to calculate offset, or use a calculator on the net.

My recommendation would be to use 18x9.5+22 with 235s and roll guards to fit. Not too difficult or expensive and proven to be a good combination for 33 gtst.

I went for a staggered set of track rims last year (17x8.5 +30 front and 17x9.5 +38 rear) but changed to a square setup this year (17x9 +35 with 255/40 tyres) for the increased frontend grip and being able to rotate the wheels around the car as they wear.

Similar to what i have done, just with 18's :)

What's a good offset for Rota Grid Rs in 18x9.5 all round on a 33 gtst? Thinking +35 all round. Will only go as far as rolling my guards.

Cheers

I think heaps of people run +22 all around with little tyre. Might want to check front clearance before you go putting money down.

Did you notice any oversteer with the square setup?

Agreed, you'll definitely run into inner clearance issues with +35.

Honestly, if you're willing to roll guards just get +22 with 235/40/18s and be happy. I didn't get 9.5 +22 and sometimes wish I did.

Im thinking of getting 17x9 +25 for my r33. The guys at Rota recommended this and said the widest tire I can run would be a 255. They also said I will have better clearance with +25 than with +35.

Does this sound right to you guys?

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off.

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell.

      Looking for someone with a R34 front bar

      Final update!!! Got the front bar fitted and sprayed and all sorted now. My cutouts worked great and the indicators aren’t just falling off. 😂

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      Is this a brand new LSD? if so, have you followed any break/bed in procedure for it? Usually involves heaps of figure 8 patterns, a fluid flush.
