Hi fellas,

It's time for a rim upgrade for my R33, so decided on a set of Volk TE37's with 4 x TE37 18 + 10.5+15 for a GTR in gloss BLACK.

I was tossing between a set of LMGT4's but decided on TE37's as I felt a 6 spoke rim looks nicer on a Skyline. What you guys think of these and where can I get a set of authentic Rays / Volk Racing stickers as the set I'm getting has the stickers but they're a bit faded.

Do you guys agree that TE37's look tough on a GTR?

DO YOU HAVE ANY PICTURES WITH THESE RIMS ON YOUR GTR?

the 37s look tough on most of the skylines in my opinion. Plus to anyone that knows there stuff there a real head turner and will be highly appreciated (followed by fits of jelousy over not having a set for themselves :P). good choice man, the lmgt4s would of look tough also...

I'd give the go ahead with either LMGT4 / TE37.

On The Run Motorsport are based in Melbourne and they sell the genuine 'Repair Sticker Kits' if you want new stickers for TE37's.

And they have the choice of Black / Blue / Red Sticker Kits to match the correct TE37 wheel.

Yeah I agree with you mate - the TE37's are probably the nicest rims to ever come out of Japan followed by the LMGT4's...they look good on all Skylines for sure...loved how you describe people's fit of rate when seeing them...for like $4.5K brand new I guess there is some logic why most people would choose not to go ahead with a set and rightfully so too...but I'm lucky, going to pick up a good set for $2.5K. What you think of this price range?

Thanks mate.

Much appreciated bro - great info will definitely need a set.

Thanks.

Post pics when done!

For sure mate...

HEy what would be the best tyre profies?

Front 235/45/18

Rears 225/45/18

Also, does anyone know what the legal amount of tread remaining on wheels are in VIC? The rims I am getting will come with 50% tread left on all 4 rims - is this still legal? With the money I spending, don't want to spend more cash on tires until a few months' time.

Thanks.

you do know that those tire sizes will be very stretched on the size of the rims you want.

You might want to put the wider tyres at the rears.

Like what JnJ said, it'd be stretched, with 18 x 10.5 so you might want to go at least a 255.

Preferably run all same size tyres all round.

50% is fine, as long as you are not down to the indicator mark.

But I would be buying new tyres anyway.

Shop around and compare prices.

Tyrepower Hawthorn / North Melbourne and On The Run Motorsport can all do good prices on high quality tyres.

275/285/295 is ideal.

265 is a bit more common, therefore a bit cheaper, so people tend to buy them. Just a cycle.

Just like 235/45/17s, commonly used and cheap in most brands.

Volk TE 37 Superlaps on a Midnight Purple R33 GTR? Thoughts or pics of one??

would look very good. i just recently fitted matt black rims to my mnp r33 gtr n looks alot better than before in my opinion.

do a google search and some images should come up of the sl's on a gtr.

i will be putting some new photos up in the photography section once my abflug rear diffuser arrives from japn

also pretty sure that sunline racing used to use those tcII on their carbon r34 so they must be pretty good if a high class tuner in japan would use them for a time attack car

      High temp brake fluid?

      By Komdotkom · Posted

      Reasonably hard, although I haven't run it with the new Endless setup yet. The old brakes were F50's on 335mm rotors and the car did a 1:40.6 at Phillip Island which is a reasonable time, I'm seeing high 600s on the temperature paint. A guy I know ran the Endless fluid at WTAC without issues and he was doing 1:33's I think (Evo) with a 355/332 setup. I don't get out to the track as much as I'd like but we put the car on the hoist and spanner check every bolt and re-paint mark everything, bleed the brakes, change the fuel, check the coolant system and re-bleed blah blah blah before every event. Motorsport is expensive, RB's are expensive so a couple of hours before an event is time well spent. It's also a net time saving because if you can keep your RB from self destructing it saves you time in the long term!

      Hello! I'm new here, I have an R33 GTST that is currently being finished up! Last year was pretty rough, blew two stock turbos so I decided to build the car. Has been down since November, but I get it back next weekend!

      Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!

      HKS Vcam Step Pro Issues

      By believer · Posted

      I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
