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

    • We have some genuine Japanese legally decommissioned car number plates now in stock 🙂 Add some legitimately obtained JDM style to your Skyline or other Japanese model, or simply as a garage/man cave decoration! About the 40mm hole: The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure & Transport in Japan recognised the popularity of keeping decommissioned plates among car enthusiasts and came up with a method to "destroy" (or render them unusable for street use) while still retaining their collectable/usable value for display etc.  We have 40mm hole covers available to cover the hole nicely with a Sakura motif, which are also available in white in (very!) limited quantities, however they frequently sell out. Please let me know if you're wanting one or more of these and I'll check availability. The Sakura motif covers are more common. https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/genuine-decommissioned-japanese-vehicle-number-plate-set-su-7515 https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/genuine-decommissioned-japanese-vehicle-number-plate-set https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/genuine-japanese-vehicle-number-plate-400mm-hole-cover *Please note that we can't obtain particular number or area name (eg: "Gunma 500 Fu ・86") if requested. All plates are provided as they become available after decommissioning. 
    • Ah, fair enough. For the IAT, I'm using a legit GM sensor that was used on the car prior to my current build. I'll get another wideband and IAT ordered and follow up when they show up. Thanks for the help.
    • You shouldn't need to massively fatten up the mixtures for cold conditions. For one thing - 0°C is not that cold. For another, the Haltech will be using the IAT sensor to tell it how dense the air air, and calculate the correct amount of fuelling. Then the cold start enrichment is added as a % on top of that, so it should scale with the main fuelling. You might also doubt the IAT sensor at this time. You're not using one from an RB26 are you? Using a nice Bosch sensor or similar? Happens. Some wideband units take great pleasure in killing their sensors. Put another wideband in the tailpipe and compare. Or just swap the sensor to a brand new one and see.
    • Oh, my misunderstand. When the car was running, it sounded ok, but if I gave it any gas it wanted to die but caught itself afterwards. It's very different from how it was a couple months ago when it was warmer outside. The logs show that the AFRs are better during, what I assume, is warmup enrichment. Because it's cold, and air is more dense, should I work on the enrichment bit?
    • yess of course im not using 2nd hand parts from my spare engine, but the place where i live is hard to find parts for the RB20DET ,but for the RB20E is everywhere including new ones and a lot cheaper ,because for the RB20DET you have to order it overseas to get one and it cost a lot of money 3x the price to be exact. so i ask this topic because if i can use the new ones but for RB20E is it compatible or not. if not im screwed haha, not totally screwed but i have to save a lot of money first before i can begin repairing my engine, thanks for the information before.
