Hey Dude,

These are the ones I will get for my R33. Or I do take the point of the other guy about silver and I have seen the new ROH Drift R's and they looked phat!!

Check it out!

Cheers

for the same price with tyres you could get some orginal 3-piece jap wheels or even te37's second hand in decent nick! cheap knock-offs will always look cheap and weigh too much, drift r's are a poor excuse for an aussie company to capitalise on a booming market. i dont know any serious drifter who would put them on thier car, too heavy, cant get the right offsets (even for the cars they are designed to fit) and look to much like a rehashed 5 spoke design from about 4 years ago.

japanese wreckers always have something half decent $1900-2600 should see either te37s, avs model 6's, works, bbs etc etc all in good offsets r33gts should run 8.5-9" fronts (depending on tyre choice) and 9.5-10.5" rear with lipped guards.

Gatty, with the money you have to spend I think you would be much better off getting a second hand set of rims. You will usually find jap 2nd hand rims in a1 condition with tires for under $1800.

Skyline_Boy - dont know where you get your rim info and prices from, but no point reccomending a rally based wheel that doesnt even have the right offsets....

      Shifting questions

      By DRoc81 · Posted

      This was a huge help.  We followed the steps,  although shifting into 2nd was actually into 3rd for us,  and 1st was into 2nd ( steps 9 and 11) .  The long flash was the 4th flash.  So shift solenoid A is possibly the culprit.  Is this inside the transmission itself? Or is it accessible by just front the pan? Or is it bolted to the outside of the transmission?  Thanos for your help everyone

      Can you enlighten me on your best practice regarding these hoses? I don't wanna make the same mistake if you already got a better solution.

      I have some silicon hoses already, for example engine to watercooler. But yeah, I get the sentiment. The lower intercooler silicon hose is drippy too, despite not being very old. Does anyone except Nismo make these same lines out of rubber? Long term I think they'd be the better replacement, especially since the car won't live as hard a life anymore as in the past nor be driven as often.

      I know most issues are just age related. But for example the turbo oil drains, there is dash adapters for these and you can just make a braided teflon line for them and (probably) never have them leak again. Also not terribly expensive. Can you even get the factory hardlines from new? Or are they repairable if they break?

      I know it'd be much much easier with the tool. I hope I can find one that won't take 3 weeks to get to me an isn't a "Asian models kit" that has tons of (to me) useless adapters for a load of cash.   It's a summer project/fun car. I do wanna enjoy it, without endless downtime over and over. So yeah I would even go and buy an engine crane + stand to save myself the trouble of hard to reach or unreachable places going bad later on. Would also be a good opportunity to put on a Fluidamper, renew the mains seals and stuff like that. I have some money on the side that I can use for that, what I wouldn't want to or be able to do is let everything be done by a shop or have my engine completely rebuild right now. I intend to do most of the "doable" jobs myself. Pulling an engine can't be that hard, can it?
