hehhe, i looked into the exact same thing over at the gtr.co.uk forums. Yep, they make 18" copies of the LM-GT4, about the only ones i know of besides Bee-R, but i'd say Bee-R B5's are a product all of their own.

I did come across some pics of Rota rims cracking at the track (at the gtr.co.uk forums) but didn't see any problems with the 'GTR' rims (i think that's the what the GT4 copies are called) Prob cost a crap load to get them out here mate. I recommend you stick with some Jap rims, get something forged :P

looks like we are on the same page, thanks for pointing out those Bee-r b5s they look nuts

Just thought id let you know, i bought some rota gtrs(p45r) for the front and rear of my r33 (x9.5" all round).....ive had em on for 2 years now, best rims ive ever had, never had any problems with them, and everyone comments on how good the rims look!!!, yeh theyre nismo lmgt4 copies, but not bad at all, and for 1/3 the price, i payed AU $1750 for a set of brand new 4 x 9.5" gloss black rims.

P.S: they are light let me tell you that much, mine weighed in at around 7-8kgs each, compared to my old dishes which were like 23kgs each...do the math...

i love em.

Steve, a mate of mine from the UK (wiltshire) has a set of 18 LMGT-4 copies on his GTR.

Although he said poor quality and deff second rate materials. He found this out after going over some road works (not like 2 meter holes or anythinh excessive) and it cause a crack in the rim, the tyre went flat and rim was bent and then took it too a specialist mag rim repairer and said it was unrepairable....

Could have been bad luck.... but after reading that I bought genuine nismos.... I had em up in a recent post. very nice, excellant quality.

But not having seen the rotas in the flesh its hard to compare.... but alls I can say is Nismo rims are The Business.

    • Yes, but it's not as easy as pulling a fuse on anything other than an R32. There's a routine you have to do, involving disconnecting a loom plug and bleeding down the preload.
    • A question for tuning awd, is it possible to disable the AWD? The stagea is an EA/T AWD, Toshi had said on a GTR, he was able to disable it and make it 2wd. Just wanted to double check if this was possible
    • Whoa, that's a name I've not see for a long time! Sorry to hear about the engine / turbo damage.  Fwiw with any engine problems it often really a case of just seeing what happens when it's apart, ymmv - I wouldn't rule out the possibility that the damage isn't even from the turbo failure, or possibly from a combination.  The airflow between cylinders isn't dead even, injectors can go off over time as well, with the turbos overboosting if you didn't have upgraded fuel system there could have possibly been a bit of leaning out - stock triggering is often a bit unreliable by this age too.  Basically its an old engine and a few things could have been going on, and you won't know how much work is needed until the engine is apart.  
    • I'm just shocked there's a euro driver on our roads who is thinking of other road users and not attempting to blind everyone. I wonder if Prank uses his indicator too...
    • Its hard to tell really. The Q50 owner's forum talks about it a lot and has quite a few people directly affected, but no idea what % of cars sold actually had the block replaced. Also, there seem to be 2 distinct issues which both get diagnosed by Infiniti as requiring a block replacement (no wonder they are going broke) 1. "Porous block" where coolant mixes with oil through thin or poorly cast parts of the block 2. Head coolant gallery plugs not sealing. If I was noticing engine coolant loss I'd start with cooling system pressure test (as always) and then I'd pull the cam covers and reseal the coolant gallery plugs on both side before worrying about a potentially porous block.  If neither of those did the trick it would be put in a second hand engine out of japan; I haven't checked pricing but I'm sure there are plenty around by now as they've been in production 10+ years
