I was looking to get mine restored also but I'm leaning towards powder coating as anodised wheels are more delicate. .IMG_20170517_153115.thumb.jpeg.d215318113a0b30f97546772c8b3a418.jpeg

Yeah my 19"'s were anodised bronze te37's from factory, so I got them powder coated white. The guy done such a great job they have gloss & exact paint spec if bought from factory white! I highly recommend powder coating as long as business knows there stuff

Could you message me the place and price you got it at please ? It would great if they could match the factory rim colour.

No worries, his name is Vince from "WheelfixItcom.com. Mob:0418 343 482. He is mobile which is super convenient & charges $275 each wheel(that includes all repairs such as gutter rash, dints, deep scratches etc, sandblasting rims, then heat treating them to ridiculously hot temperature in oven which helps withstand/shield rims turning yellow easily if u go white like me, & then the actual powder-coat). This guy was referred to me & I'm more than happy with result. Also if you're after factory white or black on te37's-no problem! My white finish was exactly same colour code & finish from factory. Only colour that is an issue is my original rim colour=bronze. Reason being that factory bronze te37's are anodised & can never be replicated 100%. They can get close, but never exactly spot on. This guy also spray's rims which is much cheaper but if you know a bit about powder coating it's a much better way to go if you have descent to good rims. Just say Mike with blue r34 gtr sent ya & hopefully he looks after you

Ps. If you need any extra bits such as Ray's stickers, bolts, tyre caps & valves, centre caps or anything similar, just hit me up as I know couple places which can help[emoji1417]

      Is r33 gtr steering wheel the same as the gtst?

      By PotatoCake · Posted

      The steering wheel on my 97 s3 gtr is a little bit worn out, so im on the hunt for something mint. I notice that this type of steering wheel is on several other nissan's of the era.  Does anyone know if their all identical, or are there slight differences? I feel like gtr tax applies to anyone selling one, but if it comes from any other car the price is much less, even though its the same design.  Chat gpt says the material for the gtr is slightly different and it says gtr on the wheel, but every pic ive seen it just says nissan.

      Ahh... it's an early RE5R01A box, that means the pinouts I gave are wrong (they were for the RE4R01A 4-speed box)... I'll have to dig around in my docs to see if I've got that schematic (they used the same gearbox plug, with the vacant pin wired to the direct drive clutch solenoid)...prolly hidden away in a supplement somewhere... ...there were 3 variants of the RE5R01A ~ this early schema was what we called the 'dumb' 5 speed ; it's what jatco called a 'medium duty' box, with torque holding up roughly ~200ft/lbs or so, which was good for NA from RB20/25DE and up to around VG30 output spec. With the RB25DET (and VG33/35 mills), the only options they had was the 4-speed 4AX00 box, which had been beefed up to handle the extra torque (primarily for the VG35, but it also suited the RB25DET mill and others)...and the RE4R03 box in large 4WDs a lot of the time... ...the next variant of 5-speed was redesigned, stronger, and 'smart'...first ones had external TCU with internal (on valvebody) Shift Control Unit, pressure switches, and 2 x TSS...and the last ones had internal TCU+SCU setup, with CANbus control etc etc. @DRoc81 On the RHS of the box towards the rear, there should be a stamped silver ID tag -- what's the model number? Oh...and with the early 5-speeds, the torque converter control solenoid assembly should be replaced as well (31940-60X00)...it's a bit Murphy's Law ....if one has failed, bet on the rest not being far behind ...
