Yup they are 4 stud mags.  After christmas I will go mag shopping but until then these will have to do.  Wheels are probably the weekest part of the car atm.

So it was a NA conversion to turbo?

Your wheel offsets looke like +45, thats why they are so sunken in the gauards. You need +38 offset front and back on a r33 to get them to sit right!!

Nice car BTW

Thanks for the comments. Yea I got the car a few months ago as an unfinished project. Alot of the interior had been done and it had been resprayed. The car had also just had the NA engine swapped out for a DET and an Auto to Man conversion.

When I got it the car was horrible to drive. It was still stock but with bigger injectors and fuel pump and had no power and fuel blowing out the exhaust.

Things I have had to do is finish the interior, completely redo all the electical work inside. Basically when the indiglow covers where fitted to the dash the needles were removed and every guage was stuffed. Had to replace dash, redo all the wiring behind the dash, recalabrate speedo and fitted stereo and turbo timer.

Have spent close to 8k on the car after buying it. Motor is very nice now but still needs another tune as it's missing in first at around 4200rpm (and knock sensor was too high for my liking). Once I do wheels and new turbo I will be happy with it for a while.

Ohh and the comment about the glare off the dash is true. ATM you will go snowblind driving this car on a bright day. My interior guy is doing up a custom dash mat that will fix the glare problem.

    • I am currently going this route. I am curious how much horse power you put behind the cut bell housing? Collins was telling me I am going to crack it and bluh bluh bluh. Because I didn’t buy the custom fly wheel from him. I am looking for somewhere around like 500 hp
    • Forgot to mention that these are the before pics when I first got it!
    • Thanks @PranK for the updated member status, much appreciated! 👍🏼 Now, about those pics… Unfortunately I could only find ones that I took in the dark. I was soon to discover that underneath it wasn’t in the best shape, but it was mine and that’s all I cared about at the time 😆
    • Oh, and only having done this task yesterday, I've now driven the car ~60km since, and while it is hard to avoid placebo effect and confirmation bias, I reckon that some annoyances I had with the way the car has been behaving have improved. Which....kinda makes sense, I guess. If the bushes were really stiff and resisting rotation, they would have been contributing to the effective wheel rate. And if it was more so on one side (which it was, because one side was worse than the other) then.... you might imagine that the additional rate would be asymmetric, and potentially even different between compression and rebound. And so... the car has been twitchy at higher speeds - like freeway on ramps. It really shouldn't be. The wheel alignment is good and there are no (other) known problems elsewhere in the suspension. But at 90-100 on a long sweeping ramp, tiny steering wheel motions would make it feel like it wanted to rear steer. Quite nervous. At lower speeds it would heave about in a manner that it didn't use to. Didn't want to put power down, etc etc. Now...seems to behave better. Am going to have to concentrate on the various corners where it has exhibited weirdness, on the rare occasions when I can get a decent run at them without Methanial getting in the way in his D-Max/Ranger/LDV Van/etc.
