GTRsean, that carbon fibre front lip look nice.

Cheers. Ended up selling it to one of the guys on here because over time it would end up getting damaged on my daily...

Pretty sure it's a garage saurus lip.

My LM GT3's slid out in the wet today (well more aquaplaned) and said hello to a gutter :D

This kinda stuff's fixable right? I called Magman, and I'll have to email him pics to get a quote... Not cracked, just needs rolling out, and the rest welding or whatnot. I explained to him they're the Nismo rims...

Also, Steve: Not sure those are legit LM's. I'm pretty sure they didn't make them in 16". I may be wrong though.

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.

You know ive got a soft spot for these things

Whats the offset?

Also, what guard/lining mods have been done?

I had 18x9.5 on before, stretched 235's to fit under the guards as mines low. Currently on R33 GTR rims which will be replaced as soon as i find the right offsets and design for a nice 18'' but this time i want 18x10 :P

Hey Owen,

I recently got my Lm GT1 18X10 shaved back for some gutter rash which was inherited when i bought the car... The Magman will prob charge u a large amount for these as the inside of the wheels need to separated from the othside of the rim as they need to reanodise the wheel. You can do separate this youself but it does take some time might be cheaper too.. just ask the place where u werre gone get it done at. The cost would be mainly due to the outside rim being aniodised. This is a surface coating which you will notice gives the outer part i.e the rim of the wheel a "shinner" look. When geting your wheels shaved back for gutter rash you loose this anionised effect.. in addition when they weld onto the rim to fill in deep gashs the aniodised finish may sometimes discolour... (purplish metal colour) so you should be aware of this before getting them welded.

Any way i reckon they are an awesome rims and pretty rare, so fixing them might be a good idea...you need to do the balance thou, if they gonna charge you too much then its prob not worth it.

Hope some of this information helps

Cheers

I got these as well, can't be that rare >_< . I got mine when I told the place that I bought the car from that I didn't want their cheap 18's. so they took 2 grand of the the price and put on some 17" lm-gt's. I was kinda happy though I aint completely sold on em.

    • 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
