For sale is a set of 4 R34 GTR wheels with centre caps. I purchased these wheels almost 12 months ago for my R32 GTR. They were fairly close to mint condition - zero gutter rash with the odd scratch and chip which I had repaired because I'm so anal. This is how they look on the car:

Reason for sale: I am absolutely devastated that these wheels do not provide enough clearance for a recent brake upgrade. Having brakes that are too big is certainly a first world problem...

So the harsh reality for me is I have had to purchase new wheels which will look nowhere near as good on my GTR as these R34 GTR wheels, but with slightly more clearance.

Ramifications from too little clearance: having such small clearance (1.3mm) has meant I have sucked up and trapped the odd small stone between the the front of my calipers and the inside of the front rims. This has resulted in a decent scratch on the inside of both front wheels only. I don't have photos of the scratch yet but can produce easily and will upload in the next night or 2.

Apart from this scratch on the inside of two of the wheels, there is typical wear and tear marks on the wheels and NO gutter rush.

Wheels come with centre caps that are in excellent condition but without tyres.

Wheels are currently on the car but will be available within the week as my new wheels are in transit.

Price: $1250 ono

Location: Sydney, North Ryde area.

Looking for a local buyer at this point. I will happily deliver to anyone within a 45 min drive (e.g. almost anywhere in greater Sydney).

    • I would paint match the whole thing to avoid unwanted attention  I had a similar bonnet, paint matched, on my old R33 GTST, but mine was a fibreglass jobbie made by Blitz in QLD, they work extremely well for radiator efficiency and under bonnet temps
    • Does anyone run this kit with factory plenum? Does the adapter and bosch tb fit under factory strut brace? I wanted to get this setup before going forward facing manifold. Thanks
    • small update time, after always wanting a "cool" looking bonnet for my car and always struggling to find one for the series 2 that i liked and wasn't an insane amount of money. Saw one i liked on RHDjapan from D-speed in Japan the price was very good for a carbon bonnet so good infact i was a little unsure how much i trusted it, decided to bite the bullet and with the help of jesse streeter in not long at all it was at my door. Once it was delivered i ran in from work and quickly unboxed it and to my surprise the quality was actually pretty good i quickly removed the old bonnet and placed on the new one to test it out and even the fitment wasnt too bad at all. Then decided to paint the little grille in the bonnet black to stop it sticking out so much.   I decided to not mess around with the hood latch and just install some aero catch hood pins, having never installed them before did some YouTube university classes and i was good to go. fair to say it is not a fun job at all from making brackets so the pins sit nicely and actually cutting through the bonnet but also being very scared of cutting the holes too big it took wayyyy longer than i would like to admit but finally got it there. Then it was time for a quick test drive to ensure the latches actually worked and thankfully the bonnet looked very stable. I still think paint matching the bonnet and leaving just the part that sticks up as carbon would help make it all look alot neater as im not sure how i feel about all that carbon on a very fridge white car but will leave it as is and see how i feel with time.  
    • I think it's bound to happen, you finally get it all perfect, and bam, something will happen. I took a while to get a Commodore rear quarter repaired where a P Plater clipped it. Two days after getting it back, Sarah wiped it out on a concrete pillar in an underground car park... This is why I take forever to repair them, it stretches how long until it gets bent again... 😛
    • Nah, not really responsible for that little fiasco, but I'm still pissed at myself for writing off my 86, or when I reversed my VX into a pole just before selling it, but, meh, 5hit happens to stuff, all it takes is a slight distraction, and life is full of distractions, and "dooh" moments
