Rims are actually 8 inch not 8.5, i see many of you guys telling people to get spacers, if there not roadworthy does that mean i can get defected for them? If i ever did get pulled over would the cops be able to tell its got the spacer installed? Guy quoted me 1,500 for the rims, spacers, new tyres 255 in the back 235 in the front, and lowering the car as much as i want with king springs, so far these guys have been the best price so i might do it.

I got no idea what the hell happened with that link... it was just a imageshack link 0.o anyways heres a pic of the rims, there not really that much of a deep dish, just have a silver lining around the rim

So i went to a wheel store today that recently opened, i saw these deep dish 5 stud 18 x 8.5 rims. http://img401.imageshack.us/img401/6983/d86l.jpg The guy offered me $950 for all 4 rims + 4 new tyres, problem is that its a 5 stud pattern, i drive a 97 r33 gts-4, they have a 4 stud pattern. The guy said he would fit in adapters so that the rims would fit on the car. Has anyone heard of these adapters or know what they are? Ill try describe what they looked like, it was a circle silver disk that had a 5 stud pattern on it. Ive never used adapters before so if any of you have or know anything about them tell me. Most important question is, are they roadworthy, is a p plater allowed to have them, would you get them etc etc, i just want to know about these before i purchase anything.

The car is up high as hell at the moment but will be lowered to the legal limit in a month or so. itll be 18 x 9.5 +25 offset for both the front and rear as i cant find any smaller =[ So 235s on the front and back? Also what does a roll mean? I dont know that much about these kinds of stuff.

Im looking at buying these rota p45r2, to put on my r33 gts-4, anyone know if they would fit? rims are 18 x 9.5 wide and +25 offset

Man these are exactly the rims ive been looking for! Any idea if theyll fit on an r33 gts-4? Im in melbourne so uhm if they did fit would you ship them down here id pay for the costs and stuff?

Its just the stock silver colour they came with. I think im probably going to get those rims, but im also interested in some deep dish with silver lining, i saw one with them and they look sick, just cant find any 4 stud of them so right now im most likely to get those drift teks. I think ill try look for some 2nd hand ones or anything that looks really similar as them, if i cant find any then ill just go down to a shop i know which has them. What would you guys do first, lower your car or fit the rims on them first? Dont really have enough for both at the moment, until my other car gets sold anyway. Also how much do you think i would get for the rims that are on currently? Once i buy new rims i wont have any use for them. From what i know, these are called osaka fusion rims. there 17inch multi stud pattern with potenza tyres i think. http://img844.imageshack.us/img844/3062/41wd.jpg What do you think would be a fair price for these when i put them on ebay, they are pretty much in perfect condition not a single scratch,mark,rust or anything, i think whoever put them on the car must of put them on really recently. (i bought the car a few weeks ago)

Yeah, not going to get 20s, rims arnt really the best either but being a 4 stud, not that much of a selection. I found these which i think look pretty good, they come in silver aswell http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/18-KOYA-DRIFT-TEK-BLACK-WHEEL-FIT-SILVIA-S13-S14-S15-SUPRA-200SX-AE86-ETC/271268899304?rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.m1851&_trkparms=aid%3D222002%26algo%3DSIC.FIT%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D261%26meid%3D2761352705554630945%26pid%3D100005%26prg%3D1088%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D5%26sd%3D270881094056%26 Ive seen another skyline same colour (silver) but a series 1 have them, they looked pretty good. What do you guys think, would they look good on a r33? If so black or silver?

That sounds like transmission problems, friends skyline does the exact same thing, goes to 2nd, makes a revving noise as if its slipping, then wil either stay in 2nd or go back to first. Again this is not on tiptronic as hes tiptronic doesnt work.

After reading some very old threads ive seen people have had problems fitting 20inch in there r33, so im not going to take the risk and adjust stuff just to fit them in unless its possible i guess... Anyone seen any rims for sale that you think would look good on an r33? Id want atleast 18 inch, probably willing to go 19 inch max unless 20 fits, but mostly want 18. Whatever you think looks good, also has to be 4 stud or multi stud? Please post if you see anything! Yes ive looked all over ebay,gumtree tyre stores etc, im not really sure what to put on this car, seeing as you guys are experts with these kind of cars, i figured youd have more knowledge and know what looks best on these cars. thanks.

Its an 97 r33 gts-4 which is 4 stud, meaning its really hard to find good rims.... so far. I found some decent looking rims imo, but the problem is im not sure theyll fit, im thinking they wont, but wouldnt hurt to ask. http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/cranbourne-west/wheels-tyres-rims/20-inch-mags/1031407023 Personally id prefer 18 inch rims but they are kinda difficult to find. My car at the moment isnt lowered, its up high as hell i can prob fit my dog in the gap lol, if that helps.

I want rims similar to this that are 4 stud anyone know of any?

http://www.carsales.com.au/private/details/Nissan-Skyline-1997/SSE-AD-2135423/?Cr=116&sdmvc=1 My god they look sooooo sexy, please someone find me these exact same rims or anything close it it.

So this happens only when in tiptronic? Friend of mine has an r34 which does a similar thing when hes not in tiptronic mode, transmission replacement on hes, not sure about yours.

Im after some rims to go on my r33 skyline, willing to buy either 17,18 or 19 inch rims. Must be 4 stud. Must be all 4 rims. Im not after anything in particular, whatever looks good is what im after. Post what you got, if i like the look and price, we might be able to arrange something. Dont really have a price limit, but obviously being second hand rims dont expect me to buy anything over priced. Tyres must be included, although not required for 17 and 18 inch as i have tyres for them, wouldnt hurt to have a 2nd pair though.

Well i actually still own the honda lol, ill be selling it very soon though. I actually liked the engine in the honda, i just didnt like the front wheel drive or the whole body. I know honda has vtec, toyota has vvt-i, ford has zetec, what do nissan call there value timing, and do the r33s have it? Im not a honda fan boy or anything, but it honestly did feel awesome when vtec kicked in. When i was driving a friends car years ago, it was a toyota echo, it has vvt-i, this thing was slow as hell, until it i hit a certain amount of rpm, it just felt like this little toyota echo thing with probably 50kw, made it feel like it had around 100kw lol. All im going to say is, i will never ever own a honda again (unless its that new type r civic coming out with a turbo), cool little engines with a fun sound, but there are so many cars out there that feel better to drive (like a skyline). Honda parts were god awful expensive, i paid something like 400 bucks just for a fuel pump when it needed replacing. Yeah they are fart box's but, for a little 4 cyl, this thing was pretty quick, quicker then youd expect it, not much slower then the skyline, but still slower.

The car is as stock as stock could be, excluding 17 inch rims the prev owner had which i do not like at all, and one of those weird exhausts that arnt shaped like an oval, more of a oval spread wide, if you get what i mean, its a pretty decent size, but not a cannon. Not sure what the prev owner has done with the exhaust, but its real quite on start up/idle, and quite when below 3000rpm, but once you hit around the 3000rpm mark, the car is very loud. On my prev car, i ended up getting a epa notice in the mail, saying to test my exhaust cause they thought it was too loud, the exhaust is really loud, didnt help that the vtec would engage around the 2800rpm mark, went and done a test, tester reved the car to something like 4250 rpm, idk something around that, the exhaust reading came back as 96db, 90 is the legal limit. What im trying to say is, when the skyline goes above 3000rpm, its not as loud as the 96db exhaust on the other car, but dam it is really close, and its not an exhaust sound you hear, you really hear the engine. The car isnt lowered, its up real high for some weird reason, it is going to get lowered, but only to the legal limit. The whole time i was driving, i was doing about 5km under the limit, wasnt breaking any laws, maybe because the car was clean and not breaking any laws the cops decided to leave me alone? Also i am 20, so thats a big reason id expect to get pulled over lol. Also i was driving today, was on that road where sandown is and that cemetery. its 80 on that road, and usually there are cars parked on the grass, they usually have speed cameras at the back of the car. So i saw the speed camera car, went down to like 70-75ish, then all of a sudden i start hearing this awesome noise coming from waay behind me, i look in the mirror and see this japanese sports bike miles behind me, within about 2-3 seconds, the noise got louder and much closer to me, i look in the mirror again, and this bike is like literally half a second behind my car, about 0.50 seconds later the guy coming flying past my car, was about 2 inches away from hitting my mirror, so im doing 75 or so, and this guy literally passes me and all the other cars in front of me within a second, then i see the speed camera flash and a undercover cop car took off after him. Cop gave chase for about 3 seconds before realising the bike was loooong goneee. When this bike came flying past me, i shit you not it felt like an earthquake, my whole windows, steering wheel, seat, everything, was shaking like it was having a spasm. Im no expert, but i was going 75, he was gone from sight within a second or 2, im going to have to say, this guy was going atleast 170 in a 80 zone. What do you think he would of copped going almost 3x above the legal speed limit? had a girl in the car to, i dont think ive ever had a girl piss her pants in my car before, she was seriously freaking out as if we were going to have an accident.

Hey guys, im thinking of putting a strut brace into my awd r33 non turbo. I have some idea of what they do, but i dont know of everything they do, just the basics, also im not sure if it can even go in an awd? Or if it even improves at all? Just came to get a opinion before i do anything, what do you guys think? Is it worth putting in a strut brace? If so which one would you recommend?

So i went out driving at around 11 30pm at night, just went for a nice relaxing drive. Decided to drive to endeavour hills, i live like 2mins away from it. Its 80 up there, was at the second set of lights, just going slow, changing gears at like 2700rpm, doing about 70, see this red vy or vz ss come flying past me. eventually he gets caught at the lights, as do i. so im next to him at the lights, hes windows were tinted black as hell, he starts reving me on trying to race him, i didnt do anything, thought it might of been an undercover, the car looked like an undercover, maybe i was too worried who knows lol. I drive down more approaching narre warren north, see a mazda mx6 with an after market exhaust come next to me at lights trying to race me, guy lauches as soon as the lights go green. Never realised id get so many people trying to race me because of my car lol, it does bring attention. Also was driving near the chisholm tafe in dandy, saw 2 cops around that area, i was expecting them to follow me or pull me over as ive heard from other skyline owners, they didnt give a shit about my car, just overtook me or turned into a street. Rather unexpected, makes me not worry much about cops now, but kinda sad they dont give a crap about my car lol.

yeah thats the one. Usually go to that one instead of the one on gladstone road, not sure why, guess its less full most of the times.

Dam, i remember about 2 weeks ago, i was at the car wash near wellington high school, thats near waverly gardens shopping centre, saw a white r34 take off from the car wash, not sure if it was a 2 door or 4 door or even if it was a gtr or not, but man that thing was so dam loud, even my dad who only loves hes v8s said he loved the sound of it lol.

You wouldnt happen to have a black r34 skyline gt-t with an after market spoiler? Ive seen that around the dandy area a few times lol

Hey i just want to know abit about the Dandenong area (dandy noth,south,west etc). What are the police like around that area? Recently bought my first jap car, so im not sure what the attention will be like as ive never experienced it(p plater). I would also like to know what your views are on the area in general. Also theres a car dealer which only sells jap cars, near the parkmore shopping centre, i drive past it everyday. I dont know the name of it or anything, but it has heaps of skylines,supras and a few other japs, anyone know any info on this place?

Yes that is what i am looking for, spark plugs that will give better fuel economy, and possibly make the car run better/slighty faster.

I found these ones, they any good? http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/NGK-Double-Platinum-Spark-Plug-MADE-IN-JAPAN-PFR5G-11-Suitable-For-/251327969086?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&fits=Plat_Gen%3AR33%7CModel%3ASkyline&hash=item3a8450773e&_uhb=1
