I was going to say, gee they look exactly like my LM-GT2's ... Thanks for the clarification MintR33 !

They are an awesome looking rim. I have them for my circuit racing, love the look... make the car look so much tougher than the VOLK multispoke rims i use for street...

They are like any other aftermarket wheels, but I believe it is Rays Engineering who make the wheels, do not make them anymore as there are the Nismo LMGT4's now hence why they are rare.

Nissan/Nismo would have used them on their Skylines/Fairladies (Z cars) with their racing events like with the R34 GTR and the 350Z JGTC, they use Nismo LMGT4's.

I would keep them for sure.

Also Revhed01 has a set of White Nismo LMGT2 wheels and looks very nice.

cheers lads. they are a bit scrappy so i want to get them reconditioned. how would i go about replacing the "nismo" decals? also, anyone know a good workshop in brisbane who recondition rims? adam

As good as new, it was cheap, only about $100. Just give yourself a full afternoon to seperate the wheels though it takes alot longer than you'll think.

I planned on getting the middle part machined back to silver and then doing everything in clear but didnt end up doing the machining. Make sure you get the clear though, they recommended it to prevent fading, stone chips etc. Its not much extra either.

Had these for over two years now.

They suit the 32's!

These are 18x10's all round.

Only problem I have had is the inner rim cracking, from fatigue crappy Sydney roads etc.

Got em de buckled, rewelded and machined. Running 265 35R18 tyres all round, as I was running 255 35's, too stretched lol.

Got LM GT1's on my 33 . I tried to get a spare back in 2001 (Scraped a gutter) and was told that it would be almost impossible so I agree, EXTREMELY RARE rims nowdays

Tops it off really well.

Cheers,

Your wheels suit your beast too, gotta get that certain look going!

Only problem is that if these crack again they can't be fixed, so it's gonna be hard to find the 'right' wheels for the beast.

Bought my car about 3 months ago and they came with the same kinda rims, was just wondering if they are original LMGT 1's or 2's because i cant find any on the net that come in 16"s without the dish. also wondering what they are roughly worth.

    • Hi soviet_merlin, We appreciate your concern regarding this possibly being some sort of PR/Political hype, I assure you that is not the case, I wish we could claim something like that, but in this case, we merely reached out for comment on the basis of the outrage we too felt, as those heavily in the automotive industry. Ps. the original source in the social media post is CarExpert not CarExplore.    Best, CE.
    • Made a bit of a discovery, but while I was cruising, I randomly decided to test to see if it worked and it showed up on my IC7. The entire time I tested it before, I never thought to turn the ignition on. I only tested it with head lights turned on but with the ignition off. Huge oversight on my end. I’m a dummy. I know. 
    • G'day all, I have drilled and tapped the hole for the relocation of the timing belt tensioner. That was straight forward. I'm unsure if I need to also put another hole for the smaller stud that the spring behind the tensioner catches on (this is how it seems to work in its original spot). Or do you not use the spring behind it and just torque it down? Thanks in advance, I did a search but couldn't find anything related and it doesn't mention it in the rb30det sau guide.
    • Hi All,  just thought I would provide an update as I know smooth (Matt) was on this forum from 2003.    my brother Matthew passed away end of may 2024 at the age of 41 from liver failure. I am not sure how many of his original team krazy friends are still on here or active but thought it reasonable to let the forum know.    if you have any photos or pictures it would be great if you could share them.    it took me a while to work out he was active on here.    thanks so much
