Ok i know the GTR wheels are 8 inch wide wheras the GTST is 6.5 inch wide and gtr is forged, but is there any way you can tell by just looking at them that they are GTR wheels? I bought wheels last year and just recently read that gtr wheels have a 'forged' marking inside but i cant find it anywhere! the rim says 690kg and ive got 225/50 tyres on them.

Take the rim off and look on the back usually on one of the spokes. It will tell you all you need to know.

like this one it writes forged around the center cap?

if mine are not gtr but gtst rims, then why do they have holes drilled into them around the center caps?

Just take the wheel off and look on the back.

i cant right now, i will do it tomorrow, but like that link i posted, shouldnt it have markings around the center caps if they are gtr, and none if they are gtst? also exactly where on the back?

also why do mine have holes drilled into them

GTR wheels. GTST are 6 or 6.5 wide

Ok thanks but it still doesnt answer the question as to why there are no engarved markings around the center caps like the one in this picture: http://www.cruzinforacure.com/Skyline/IMG_5078_800x533.jpg

I think you should cut them in half to confirm; Ben was definitely onto something.

ill cut it in half and shove it up your lawyers ass :yes:

by the way...your car ---

R32 GT-R = 16x8 +30

R32 GTS-t = 16x6.5 +40

If I may add. It's been 26 years since the first gtrs rolled off the line, any number of things could have happened to them. Were there any other markings behind the spokes? They could well be non genuine.

    • Hi soviet_merlin, We appreciate your concern regarding this possibly being some sort of PR/Political hype, I assure you that is not the case, I wish we could claim something like that, but in this case, we merely reached out for comment on the basis of the outrage we too felt, as those heavily in the automotive industry. Ps. the original source in the social media post is CarExpert not CarExplore.    Best, CE.
    • Made a bit of a discovery, but while I was cruising, I randomly decided to test to see if it worked and it showed up on my IC7. The entire time I tested it before, I never thought to turn the ignition on. I only tested it with head lights turned on but with the ignition off. Huge oversight on my end. I’m a dummy. I know. 
    • G'day all, I have drilled and tapped the hole for the relocation of the timing belt tensioner. That was straight forward. I'm unsure if I need to also put another hole for the smaller stud that the spring behind the tensioner catches on (this is how it seems to work in its original spot). Or do you not use the spring behind it and just torque it down? Thanks in advance, I did a search but couldn't find anything related and it doesn't mention it in the rb30det sau guide.
    • Hi All,  just thought I would provide an update as I know smooth (Matt) was on this forum from 2003.    my brother Matthew passed away end of may 2024 at the age of 41 from liver failure. I am not sure how many of his original team krazy friends are still on here or active but thought it reasonable to let the forum know.    if you have any photos or pictures it would be great if you could share them.    it took me a while to work out he was active on here.    thanks so much
