Hey,

I'm looking to purchase a set of Nismo LM GT3 rims that are 18''x9'' with +26 all round for tyres....

I am very curious to know if they would fit under a 1993 Nissan Skyline R33 GTS-T...

I am far from being the most technical person so basically i am wondering if they would fit if i had the guards rolled or they are just to large to fit under the wheel wells even if they are rolled?

Are the Stud patterns the same?

Would my camber be destroyed if i put them on or is it a direct bolt on?

If camber is destroyed where and how much would i be able to find a fully adjustable camber kit to make them work?

Help on this subject would be awesome so i know whether to purchase them or not...

Please help me out...

Thanks...

Jake

They will of course bolt on, which will be great for photos but driving will be another issue. Being GTR wheels, they're deigned to fit under much wider guards and fitting these onto a GTS25t will have them hanging out the guards by at least 10mm meaning guard clearance issues. There may also be issues with the rim width of 9" (not sure), you'd be better off getting something more suitable that won't give you a headache and burn a hole in your pocket at the same time (despite looking awesome!)

Maybe check out 350Z or Maxima wheels.

Wheel selection won't alter your camber, good luck.

I have already purchased new front guards that are wide body (20mm wider on each guard)... So i hoping the front will be fine but i am more concerned about the rear guards...

Will they fit flush or will they be hanging out the sides? (even if the guards are rolled, and being that they are 9'' wide)

Or even worse rubbing on the interior guard or undertray and destroy the rubber...

Please post up again once this is read as i am quite eager to get them...

Any help would be much much much appreciated...

the best thing about the r33's is you can fit whatever width wheel/tyres you want (within reason ofcorse). you shouldnt have any clearance problems with standard rims and tyres from another car. i had 19x10's on the rears and they were fine.

this is a pic of my car jacked up on these rims.. they sat fine:

Also, what size tyres should i be thinking about getting?

The seller suggested that i change the existing tyres from 265's to 235" or there abouts...

Will it make a dramatic difference if i do change them or will it be fine if i stick with the 265's for a while?

I'm in the process of fitting 17x9's with an offset of +22 to my gts-t and yeah as someone said.. burning a hole in my pocket.. but i love the rims

I'll be getting camber kits to help out a bit and flaring the guards, we'll see how it goes then. Haven't seen the rear on but the fronts stick out like nothing else.

But I say, the main problem is just the fronts and you have wider guards for them.. so just do it! Maybe look at flaring the rear even if you don't need it so it doesn't look so odd with fat front guards!

but yeah i say DO IT!

my 19x10 fix without any camber kit or anything.. heres a pic of it the moment i got them on my car... it looked like a 4wd but they didnt rub which is the important part. if you dont want to fork out money on camber kits or whatever, just lower the car according to how much space you've got.

Thanks for all the help from everyone...

Ok, to afford the LM GT3 Nismo rims i will have to sell my current rims, they will be posted in the for sale section but i thought it appropriate to put them in here also...

They are 4 x DOLCE DC-6's that are 19'' x 8'' (Fronts: WANLI S-1099 245/35 75% Tread... Rears:FALKEN AZENIS ST-115 245/35 80% Tread )

There are 1 very small mark on a Rim from when a car has kicked up a stone...

(not the long grey cord, that was from digital camera, about a cm to the left is a tiny mark, sorry bout quality but was best i could do and it really is a tiny mark)

Would have to be local pickup only too sorry, would not know where to begin to ship rims off to another place... Local pick up would be Wollongong or the Illawarra area...

The rims are perfect and look outstanding on Skylines... If interested please PM me or Leave a msg in here or in for sale section or msg my phone on 0421 545 240

Thanks... Jake

      High temp brake fluid?

      By PranK · Posted

      In all the track days I've done over the past few months I've only had 1 issue with braking and thats with my current EBC pads (can't remember the colour, but they're not a track pad). I don't *think* I have had issues with brake fluid getting too hot, my understanding is that when that happens you will have quite noticeable brake loss - which I haven't had.  I'm using just regular ol' Penrite Super DOT4 fluid. I use this fluid in everything and my cars always seem to stop so I see no reason to change, except ... for the 335i. I need to do a fluid flush and was thinking about my fluid of choice and wondering if I should consider using something more high temp? Its not a super fast car by any standards but I'd hate to do a flush and then find myself with no brakes when I get. to Wakefield.  I guess, my question can be summed up as "How fast do you need to be driving to need higher temp brake fluid?"  I remember high temp fluid was considered a must have back in the day when I had my GTR.

      RB25DET in GTS4 R32 conversion

      By Jason Abell · Posted

      For anyone that comes here looking for answers on what can go wrong with gts-4 to rb25detneo swap. The Gloria's awd sump is different and does not fit. The rb25neo from stagea are exactly the same sump bolt pattern and axel alignment. Castings numbers are different on Gloria's blocks and oilpans if they need to be identified.

      RB26 AWD Sump / RB25 AWD Stagea Sumps - Are they the same?

      By Jason Abell · Posted

      I have information on this for anyone that comes looking again. https://www.facebook.com/share/p/18gsbFaYTU/ The rb25det neo from the stagea has the same sumo as rb26 and r32 gts4 (and other awd models). The sump that has caused so many problems during swaps are from the awd neo Gloria's. The casting numbers on the block and oil pans are different so this may help identify if you can't confirm where the motor came from

      Not feasible to fix the boot lid you had? Damage looked minor/hard to even see :p Source: Drove into something recently and you should be happy you didn't!

      Another new used boot arrived at the painters, it was sent back as there was nearly as much damage as the original one I want to replace  Finding a clean used boot lid is proving problematic, and I'm not keen on dropping $1500 on a new one from Mazda Sigh....
