Although these need to be on the right car, they are still one of my favourite rims, if only they came in a 19 x 10.5

These on a blk or mnp r33 would look nuts in a deep dish 19..

C'mon advan

I hate those Advan wheels you posted. There's a few nice Advan wheels but these three-spoke ones look ugly as!!

I used to work compliancing cars back in 1999 for an importer and we had a few serious cars come through our doors, the wildest ones where supporting these rims. I agree with you that they can't be thrown onto any car, they need the perfect combo, but if they made them in 19s, a gold set in 19s would look great on a mnp or black r33 IMO

Btw, I haven't seen many r33 gtr's with silver 19" lmgt4s like on r34 nur.

The enkei rpf1 look pretty good on them also

And not sure if there are any Melbourne guys reading this post but there used to be a white s3 r33 gtr with number plates VOLARE with polished rim and silver centre Simmons fr19's

The thing looked insane

My top 4 in no real order would be

Simmons fr19 min ( polished lip with solver spokes)

Enkei rpf1 18 or 19

Lmgt4 19" min

Te37 19" min

Looks like you're a sucka for massive dish rims. TE37 and LMGT4 only come with those dish at 19.

Personally I think 18 is the perfect size in terms of look, price (both rim and tyres) and steering. No doubt 19 looks great and better than 18 but I cant justify spend the extra coins just to look good.

Yes I do like a dish dish I guess, look I like 18s too, good price on tyres, better ride, but r33's are pretty big cars, so if your talking price a set of 19 varsstoens or whatever they are called with tyres from the tyre rack will cost you less then 18 te37's on there own, seriously though, I still think the Simmons fr wheels are amongst the best rims that are a available, not only that but you can order any size, colour, width and offset...

Didn't Simmons shut the doors a couple of years ago though? You're right the FR was probably one of the best looking wheels but more suited to Aussie cars really, you cant go past TE37 on any GTR. And whats with everyone flogging off their SL's? I know when I eventually get a set they will be staying put.

Fr simmons are now made to order from Tempe tyres, after seeing them on an r33 believe me they suit them well, fr18's on a 32 gtr suit well also. But I'm not a fan unless they are polished lip with silver spokes

I love te37's but some guys where talking about a rim that isn't common on a gtr, you really can't go wrong at all with te37's or lmgt4s, but lets admit it, we have all seen a gtr with te37's on it

So nobody flame me, I agree that they are probably the best rim for a gtr, just saying there is other unique stuff out there

So I guess it is same to conclude that the TE37 is the best looking wheel for the GTR.

    • I'm seeing torque specs all over the place for the OUTER tie rod, but none for the INNER tie rod, where it connects to the steering rack. Even in videos, people are just tightening em up as much as they can with a wrench and that's it. Anything tightened down without torque makes me nervous. Anyone know what the spec is for it?
    • Hope you had a great time here in our tiny country.   The JDM scene we have here is quite small, it's mostly BMW, Volkswagen with burble tunes haha. But the few JDM cars we do have in the scene are pretty nice. Some of my friends drive cool s14's too. Both built engines, red one makes abt 500, blue one abt 400 i think?
    • Ye good idea , would have never thought of something like that. Might aswell do it to every pulley and the balancer while I’m there 
    • Use an LS1 or similar, via kit like Frenchy's. But.... It's probably not the alternator. It sounds like belt squeal, which would be because the pulleys are glazed. Rub every groove on the pulleys with 120 grit paper. Report back. Oh, and new belts afterwards too. The old new ones will be shitted up already.
    • Hello all I have 2 r34 sedans , one turbo one na, only recently aquired the na 34.  Man what is with these things.... My turbo 34 started sounding like a super charger, it was screaming at anything above 4000rpm , I took the alternator apart and replaced the front bearing which is the only one I think you can access and it did not fix the issue so presumably the bearing in the rear of the alternator is gone. ( diagnosed it was the alternator by taking off the aux belts one by one to figure out which pulley or bearing it was )  My friend gave me one he had lying around, Installed it , it did not squeal for maybe 500kms and now its started to squeal again briefly on startup  Recently got an na r34 and I replaced the timing belt, water pump + all the auxillirary belts. Runs amazing but it suddenly developed the same squeaking problem but significantly worse, Ive had my neighbour come down screaming at me because it was waking her up everytime I moved the car. It takes a good 2 minutes before it quietens down.  Im yet to diagnose where its coming from but im fairly sure its coming from the alternator aswell. My question isnt about how to fix it but rather where can you get a new alternator for an rb25 neo??? Ive searched everywhere but I havent been able to find a direct fit oem type replacement thats not genuine. All the automotive stores sell an oex one - BXA035 - which I picked up for cheap through a friend with staff discount , got it home only to find the connector is completelty different.... As far as im aware bxa035 is for rb20/30's and after a bit of figuring out the bxa035 has an ev14 type connector, which is tiny compared to the rb25 connector. I actually had an ev14 connector lying around which I was considering just replacing the bigger plug with to get the alternator working but the bxa035 is rated for 70amp vs the rb25 alternators are 90amp ( or so ive been told ? ) That paired along with the fact im about to install an amp + sub in the back and I have the stock sized small battery Im not sure itll do the job unless anyone has another opinion?  I know and have seen all the websites selling the ls1 alternator conversion kit but I am not going down that route, nor do I have the money to. Hopefully I can figure out how to get 2 brand new alternators for both cars. I would buy second hand which there seems to be many of but considering how common this seems to be im sure If I installed a second hand one it would start squealing in no time  Or even better if anyone knows how to fix the issue directly with the alternator itself... Any input appreciated Thank you     Link for bxa035 connector picture
