Nismo Rays Lmgt1 Rims.

[are33]

Hey, At the moment im researching on wheels for my car, I have a 1997 R33 GTS25.

I want a set of Nismo RAYS LMGT1's. Just because =p

Now there are several problems in this.

Because these are designed for a GTR and i have a GTS25, What will i need to do to get these rims on my car with no bodgey shortcuts or money saving techniques, I am only researching at the moment so money wont come into play untill later on...

From start to finish and every little detail included, What will i need to do to get these on my car?

Hope someone can help.

thanks

josh.

I'm not sure if I understand you correctly but you are saying that LMGT1s are only designed for GTRs? That is incorrect. If you have a GTST just source a set with the correct offsets to suit. If you find one with GTR offsets chances are you will need to pump your guards or roll ur lip to fit. I have a set of LMGT4s for sale if you are interested..GTST offsets

Oh right sorry, For some reason i was thinking they were for the GTR only, My car is a GTS25 non turbo, hopefully soon ill be looking to upgrade the brake's from the GTS to GTST setup, I wouldnt mind rolling the guards if i found wheels with GTR offset. As long as its guaranteed to work.

If ur after the LMGT1 specifically, then good luck...its hard finding 2nd hand ones let alone the correct offsets. Yahoo auctions in Japan are ur best bet, then when u find a set get a trader to import it in for you.

I have actually found someone at the moment selling a set for under $2k, Refurbished, but i do not have enough money at the moment...

That's too much imo. A 2nd hand set of lmgt4 can be around 2-3k.

I would think the GT1'S would be worth more being older and harder to find..?

You can still buy GT4's from retail i think. well JDM sell them.

[n15m0]

doesn't really work tht way unfortunately...LM GT1s even though older and rarer is probably not as popular or sought after as the GT3s and 4s. I've seen LM GT1s go for bout 1.5k in 18s. 2nd hand sets on yahoo auctions normally go for around 50,000 to 60,000 yen...add freight and customs...u do the math.

Ok thanks for the help,

One thing, Is there any way i can view the yahoo japan auctions site in english

I've got a set of LM GT3's on my '93 GTS-T, the inside of the rear guard has been rolled right back; but I'm keen on getting it flared soon. Additionally because they'll be running 275/35 18's, make sure that you roll the front guards too, or you'll have chunks out of your tyres on full lock (found that out the painful way).

EDIT:: Irrespective of that, you WILL get scrubbage on front tyres on full lock (corner of tyre hitting the plastic crap behind the tyres. Cut holes if ya gotta.)

I'm running D2 coilovers which are currently slammed hell hard though, so if you've got softer suspension, hopefully you can find a gtst offset, or flare those guards.

My suspension is factory for the GTS25 except for a set of NISMO struts which i think was a factory extra. It sits pretty high off the ground at the moment, About a foot :sorcerer:

First thing i need to do before anything is the brake upgrade, Ill have to drive around on steelies untill i get the gt1's i want

Im gonna go coil overs after i put the wheels on.

[Kaido_RR]

why not just get lm gt-2, they are almost the same as lm-gt1

lm-gt1

lm-gt2

[T04GTR]

yeah. lmgt2s come in gtst ofstes. but are 17s there around but hard to find. i used to have 2 complete stes.

LM GT3's:

[n15m0]

LMGT4s

[Kaido_RR]

LMGT4s

ver05

[oweban]

ver05

I think something just happened in my pants.

[are33]

Damn some of these rims a fkn sweet!

I want a set of white ones in 18" not any smaller then that , I dont mind the white with chrome lip ones at all though

Ill keep my options open, The gt4's are steering away from what i want.. I dont really like the look of them, But each to their own they look hot on a 34

ALSO how the hell do i make any sense of yahoo japan auctions?

i tried looking on there but i was lost hahah.

any way to view it in english or will i need someone that knows japanese keke

Can I sway your further?

The only difference between the 05 ver GT4s is the center cap and color...both are forged lightweight monobloc wheels.

Thank you for that.

Yes its working but they suite your car though. SECKS!

I Like the GT3's i wouldnt mind hunting down a set of them in GTST offset in 18", i need a GTST brake conversion though

Instead of creating another thread..

What will i need for a gts25 - GTST brake conversion and how much will it cost for parts ONLY as me and my dad can fit them.

so far ive researched that i need:

GTST Hubs

GTST calipers

GTST master cylinder

GTST Rotors

GTST discs

New brake lines?

And do all of these need to be off a GTST that has ABS? as my car has ABS...

Hopefully thats all i need as id like to get this done fairy soon as soon as i have the money.

let me know if i have left anything out!
