Hi Guys

Looking for opinions and options for rims for R33 GTR.

Please post some pics - and any advice is appriciated.

I really like the R34 GTR rims on the R33GTR's - except I dont like the way they dont fill the guards - I guess spacers would fix this but I just dont know if spacers are a wise move.

Just looking at some options guys.

Thanks Again.

Daniel

i don't know but i do want your 33 GTR rims when you get new ones :cheers:

whatever you get i think 18X9.5 and around +18 offset will look nice. TE37s are pretty hard to beat.

R34 rims look great on 33's especialy white but still dont fill the guards you need 20 mm spacers , the 34 rims are the same offset as the stock 33 ( +30 ) . If you buy aftermarket rims in 18x10 you need 17 offset and they will feel the guards 100% to the edge .

If you need a picture to see let me know and i'll dig one up for you from my old 33.

That would be great mate if you could post pic - thanks heaps. Also wrxhoon is there any issue with spacers - are they safe to use.

Hey Dan - long time no speak. Car is not purchased yet - started looking this week. Looking for a series 3 r33 (white or platuimum) or a LM edition 96. Expecting to purchase in Jan.

Dan have also always been a fan of the Nismo LMGT2's

WHat colour car is this lovely new baby of yours?

rule of thumb the darker the car the shinier the wheels :-)

Hey buddy

I was thinking something with a bit of dish for the rears to fill the guards - only problem is every dish wheel i see either looks ricey or shit.

Maybe LM GT4's.......

Need some pics with wheels on cars.

Daniel, I ran the R34 GTR wheels on my R33 GTR and despite looking great, the offset is wrong and they make the car look rather skinny from the back.

After a LONG search for the right wheel for my car, I purchased these Japanese Trafficstar DTS 3 piece wheels in 19 x 10 and couldnt be happier!

Mateeeee..... now thats how you dress a R33 GTR - stock , clean and simple... and the right colour as well.

Yours wheels look great, now thats what I'm after - like that or similar. I would also like going 19x10.

I had HR lightweight wheels on my old car. They were a five spoke design and the spokes came out slightlt wider than the rim. I had them in white and I loved them. The HR wheels i used to have but with dish -that would be my ultimate wheel.

Any more pic of you car??? Engine bay,etc you want to share???

You really can't beat Work Meisters... Has the simplicity and tough look of a TE37 paired with dish.

And if you like white:

      Stock rb25det neo questions

      Hows your intake piping? Are you still running stock? Having in the stock AFM position would mean, if the BOV was shut/venting out, it'd create the almost stalling kind of effect right // "the rich pulse behaviour" due to MAF thinking air is flowing ? But this would be better than having the bov in the stock position + MAF on/just before cross over piping right?

      Essentially, yes. Although I wouldn't put the AFM on the crossover pipe. I'd want to put it into what amounts to the correct size tube, which is more easily done in the intercooler pipework. I bought a mount tube for card stile AFM that replaces the stock AFM - although being a cheap AliExpress knockoff, it had not flange and I had to make and weld my own. But it is the same length and diameter as the stock RB AFM, goes on my airbox, etc etc. I don't have a sick enough rig to warrant anything different, and the swap will take 5 minutes (when I finally get around to it and the injectors & the dyno tune).

      So to summarise, the best thing to do is to move recirc to between turbo and IC, and maf on the crossover pipe. Meaning I'd need a recirc flange, drill a hole in the piping on turbo outlet area. And drill hole on crossover to fit/weld maf sensor? Either that or put the MAF on the turbo inlet right?  Is an aftermarket recirc/blowoff valve recommended? Do currently have family in Japan so could probably bring something back with maybe a cheeky lil SuperAutobacs run?

      Lets play a game - What is causing my oil consumption?

      By tsuokun · Posted

      Yep, so far most have said that it looks like corrosion on the wall from piston not moving. Which then has probably damaged the oil rings and caused those vertical marks. The longest the engine was still after the rebuild, was the winter of 2018 - 2019, plus the boat trip to Japan. When I shipped the car, it had normal gas in the tank but before that winter pause, it had E85 in tank.  In any case, even if either one of those was the cause, it happened close to 6 years ago and the car has been driven something like 30 000kms after the fact. Again, apart from the plugs and the dip stick, there is nothing in the way the car runs that would indicate what has been going on in the engine. I am going to consult a shop and ask their opinion, what would be the best approach. I do have some access to a garage I could use to diagnose further myself, but time is very restrictive. Might end up buying another engine that could be used while this one is being remedied. Without pulling the head, it will be impossible to find out if it needs another bore, but here's to hoping a hone would suffice.  Goddamnit, I would really have preferred this not happening.

      Got this r31 silhouette flood car to rebuild.

      By 25RBGT · Posted

      Boot is going to be replaced eventually. I just wire brushed what I could and rust converted. Then painted in rust kill primer. the spoiler also got repainted and plugs replaced on the ends. The under side of the bonnet is going to be black also, currently white. But red on the top side, same colour code as the silo to begin.
