Hi guys,

Just purchased these wheels from Japan for my R33 GTR. I'm hoping they'll look good with my car and perform well with handling (cornering at high speeds). Anyone have any experience with these. Also do you think 18x10 is a good size for the GTR?

Tyres on them are: Dunlop formula W1 - 275/35R18

Pics of my car can be seen here: http://allblitz.com.au/cars/004_nskylinegtr95black.html

Let me know what you guys think of the choice of wheels.

Thanks,

Husnu (Hus)

Here is what they look like in action!

Mine just do not have the blue part as yours do.

10" rims just look phat :(

You're a legend. I've been typing keywords like 'Volks, Fzero, Challenge, GTR' etc... in google images, trying to find an R33 GTR with these wheels.

Thank's a lot, i love 'em !!!!!!

I've also got a set of HKS coilovers, once the wheels are on, i'll try and get the right height :D

Same as my wheels but mine dont have the Blue inner like yours??

How much did you pay for them as I have no idea what they are worth!

I got mine for 1K when I bought my car, 17x8.5 and 17x9.5.

However that said you have to take on board that the factory R33 GTR wheels (Magnesium) are also extremely light weight. Therefore you are not going to, if at all, reduce the vehicle's unsprung weight.

The stock forged non-Magnesium alloys are not very light, my 18x9+22 Enkei RP01s with 245/40R18 tyres

weigh the same as R33 wheels with 215/45R17 tyres and I have several 17x9 Enkei RP01, Enkei Racing S and BBS

LM that are lighter, I don't know about my other wheels because I haven't weighed them.

The real advantage of the stock wheels is that they can eat a kerb hard and take it like a champ! Good ol Nissan!

As for the wheels the poster has bought, I do not like the styling at all, but the width and offset specs are good,

I have ugly wheels that I love too so it is all good :(

The Dunlop W1s were good tyres... in 1998, I don't know when they were discontinued but they are probably

ancient by now so I would burn them up as quick as you can, if you get some heat through them they might

come good again though. But no question, for performance, the setup is good.

Thank's for the feed back guys. I've stumbled across another set of wheels which I have fallen in love with and am just about to purchase.

They are the Volks CE28N. They are practically in brand new condition. Dimensions are: 18-9.5J Offset +15. Tires are YOKOHAMA DNA S-drive 235-40-18. I'll have to put wider tyres on them as soon as they get here. I think these will be the full time wheels on the car, they look stunning.

Actually a few months ago wheels or motor did a tyre test and came to the conclusion that wider tyres do not mean more on limit grip.

Thats more to do with chassis and suspension. Rather than tyre width.

      R34 GTR Speedo Drive , sensor type ?

      By Butters · Posted

      Working through possible solutions of converting my mechanical speedo.    Anyone know what type of speedo sensor the factory r34 gtr getrag has ? what the output is ? I assume its not a VSS and more a voltage like earlier speedo sensors ? Can an ECU read it ?

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
