Hey all,

I wanted to offer my rims to the ACT guys first before putting them up for sale elsewhere.

I have sold the R33 to a mate without the rims/tyres as they are worth too much.

My Volk GT-C Face 2 rims in 18 * 8 fronts and 18 * 9 rears with near new Federal RS-R tyres (235s on front, 265s on rear) are one of the best looking rims I've seen. They fit the R33 GTS-T superbly and were legally engineered for use on my R33. They went through Dickson twice without trouble.

I will get the offsets for you all tomorrow but for now I have just photos:

I'm chasing $3500 for all 4 with the RS-R tyres (which are $1700 on their own). This will include the hubcentric rings, carbon volk center caps and volk nuts with volk lock nuts.

Cheers

Sam

I've wanted these wheels ever since i 1st saw them on the car, years ago. they are easily one of the best rims i've ever seen on an R33! the photos dont them justice. you gotta see these in the flesh...

Good luck with the sale....

They're 17x9" I believe. Currently got a set of 235/17/45 (I think that's the measurements) Maxxis tyres. Mostly legal (bar some lame camber wear on the rears)...plenty of tread depth.

haha I don't even know if I should be considering it, I already owe him $180 rofl

let me know. Couldnt really care about the tyres, as my current set are 235/45's and I'd just swap them over. Would be interested to know what their offset is, so I can figure out if they won't look as fail as my front rims do at the moment.

Damned if I know, I could name a figure but it's probably wrong. What size are they anyway, not sure on my 33 rims sizes, I do know though they look halfway decent on a 32 though.

Looks more than halfway decent :D

    • GTSBoy on your suggestion on another thread I had a look at those injectors and ended up getting them because of the quality.  Got the expensive ones.  
    • Hey guys been looking everywhere to try and find the correct gtr hood latch support part number but only found the first half and when I search with that number it sends me to an r34. The first part I found was 62515. If anyone could help me with the rest then I’d really appreciate it. Or if there’s some alternative hood latch support that would work even better cause I can’t find any for sale. (Searched on upgarage, partsouq,buyee,rhdjapan) 
    • If you've only done the upper control arms on the rear, AND you have changed their length (by more than about 1mm) to set the camber you want, then you will definitely need/want to install traction arms also. Adjusting the camber arms on their own WILL introduce bump steer and make the car unpleasant to drive. Most owners have no idea that their car could behave infinitely better than what they put up with. I'm not entirely sure what the Stageas need, but I am thinking that unless you have massive front spring rates and pretty soft rear springs, you have waaaay too much rear bar. Oversteer city, in my estimation. Combined with possible excessive bump steer from maladjusted arms, that could be a recipe for nastiness. ATR43SS2 is not a highflow. It is an outright replacement turbo. It's a little bit bigger than the largest highflow profile that Tao does. Probably a solid 300rwkW turbo where the bigger highflows will be about 30-40rwkW less. Nevertheless, we're only talking about ~300 rwkW, which is well within the abilities of the stock ECu to run with a Nistune on board. I would do so without hesitation - and I will be doing so when I get my finger out and actually get the injectors and AFM installed. But, if you would prefer to drop a whole lot more money on the ECU side, then I suspect you're looking at Haltech. The Haltech fanbois here will all spout on about all the available engine protection you can have, that you can't have with the Nistune option. And they're right. But it doesn't really come for free either. You will spend more money on extra sensors and the like, plus the work to install them. If the engine was built and therefore represented a big investment to protect, then I'd say definitely do it. If you view the current (and forever into the future) shortage of replacement engines as something to prompt similar protection, then also, do it. If you see a destroyed RB25 as an opportunity to put in a Mercedes or other V12 (like I kinda do)... then your perception of the risk/reward might differ. These are good injectors. You can also get a "better" set of the same with more flow matching, for more $$. 1000cc is where you will want to be. You will need an R35 AFM and adapter tube if you want to stay with Nistuned stock ECU. Otherwise, if going Haltech, you can ignore. As for intercooler. Just about anything will do. You're only talking about ~300rwkW. Just put a big core in there. Be aware that return flows do add significant pressure drop and will cost power and will make the turbo work harder to achieve the same goals. If you can manage a proper crossflow, do it. I'm keeping my very good return flow because I'm only expecting to be in the ~250rwkW range, and will live with whatever outcome I get.
    • I have a heap that i have collected if you want some authentic ones still. Pm me if your interested!
