Im in the market of purchasing some wheels for my R33 GTS-T. I particularly like the looks of the R34 GTR wheels. I played around with Adobe Photoshop and cut+pasted the wheels onto my car and it looked awesome, especially loved howl the titanium/gold suites my black duco.

Does anyone know if these wheels will fit on my car?

Ive got a 96 GTS-T SerII.

Thanks!

I don't think the R34 GTR wheels are suitable for the R33 GTST.

They are too wide in the front for a RWD.

Anyway, I have a set of rims that may 17x8 F & 17x9 R Volks/Rays rims that may interest you.

Don't believe anything on nengun's site. Everytime I have emailed to get a confirmation of a price/product the reply has basically been "no sorry we dont stock that anymore" or "the price is now...."

For instance the R34 GTR Used wheels he has on the site are only au$2400 now not $2700. (Aussie dolar gone up)

I guess the only way i can find out is if i can find someone who is willing enough to fit one on the front and one on the back and see how she sits?

Yr right in saying they are damn sexy benm...

Still, 2700 for some genuine GTR wheels is pretty good i reckon?

Has anyone purchased anything from Nengun?

shit, didn't realise that they were that cheap!! i don't think i'd really care if i bought some that were scratched a bit, still would look awesome.

reckon they'd fit on a R34 GT-T ok? (sorry bout the digression!)

Be wary of nengun

With used parts, for example R34 wheels vary in price. The reason for this is some have more scratches then others and the same goes for other used parts. If the Aus dollar drops against the yen then of course you can expect to pay more for your parts. ( "prices vary so much" ) Anyway you slice it if the dollar is low you won`t be too much out of pocket . If the Aus becomes too weak against the yen then I buy my new parts in bulk quanties, Hence I receive parts cheaper and so to does the customer. Anothor point is that these currency converters don`t exchange your funds, the banks do and they will always give you 2 to 3 cents less per $ than the currency exchange rate. Credit card companies make up their own rate + 3% on the total order. I don`t make up prices as I go along I just work of the bank exchange rate. If at times I have made a mistake on pricing, then by all means challange me on it.

How did you come up with the math of $300 difference. The AUS Dollar is getting stronger but it isn`t that strong. On my site the wheels are now 189,000 Yen which is $2700 AUS at the exchange rate of 70. Now if the Aus $ rises up to 85 Then you will only pay $2223 AUS for those wheels. On the other hand if it drops to 64 then you can expect to pay $2953 AUS. The only reason the Aus $ is on the site is because some people don`t understand how to convert from yen to the Aus $. If you want the current price all you have to do is ---189,000 Yen divide 70 AUS = $2700. From now on I will delete any AUS or US pricing and I will only advertise in yen.

i think they make quite a lot of $$ of selling GTR wheel, i have seen them selling for a$1050 for 4 rim in a import parts shop of HK. The shop make profit after the a$1050 selling price, so u can guess how much the GTR wheel really worth.

To Buy just 1 new R34 GTR Rim from Nismo is 120,000 yen divide 70 AUS = $1714 AUS X 4 rims $6857 AUS I sold a set that only had one small scratch on one rim. I classified them as near new I sold them for $2700 AUS My profit was 15% So you can really see I made a killing of profit.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
