Hey,

I'm looking to purchase a set of Nismo LM GT3 rims that are 18''x9'' with +26 all round for tyres....

I am very curious to know if they would fit under a 1993 Nissan Skyline R33 GTS-T...

I am far from being the most technical person so basically i am wondering if they would fit if i had the guards rolled or they are just to large to fit under the wheel wells even if they are rolled?

Are the Stud patterns the same?

Would my camber be destroyed if i put them on or is it a direct bolt on?

If camber is destroyed where and how much would i be able to find a fully adjustable camber kit to make them work?

Help on this subject would be awesome so i know whether to purchase them or not...

Please help me out...

Thanks...

Jake

They will of course bolt on, which will be great for photos but driving will be another issue. Being GTR wheels, they're deigned to fit under much wider guards and fitting these onto a GTS25t will have them hanging out the guards by at least 10mm meaning guard clearance issues. There may also be issues with the rim width of 9" (not sure), you'd be better off getting something more suitable that won't give you a headache and burn a hole in your pocket at the same time (despite looking awesome!)

Maybe check out 350Z or Maxima wheels.

Wheel selection won't alter your camber, good luck.

I have already purchased new front guards that are wide body (20mm wider on each guard)... So i hoping the front will be fine but i am more concerned about the rear guards...

Will they fit flush or will they be hanging out the sides? (even if the guards are rolled, and being that they are 9'' wide)

Or even worse rubbing on the interior guard or undertray and destroy the rubber...

Please post up again once this is read as i am quite eager to get them...

Any help would be much much much appreciated...

the best thing about the r33's is you can fit whatever width wheel/tyres you want (within reason ofcorse). you shouldnt have any clearance problems with standard rims and tyres from another car. i had 19x10's on the rears and they were fine.

this is a pic of my car jacked up on these rims.. they sat fine:

Also, what size tyres should i be thinking about getting?

The seller suggested that i change the existing tyres from 265's to 235" or there abouts...

Will it make a dramatic difference if i do change them or will it be fine if i stick with the 265's for a while?

I'm in the process of fitting 17x9's with an offset of +22 to my gts-t and yeah as someone said.. burning a hole in my pocket.. but i love the rims

I'll be getting camber kits to help out a bit and flaring the guards, we'll see how it goes then. Haven't seen the rear on but the fronts stick out like nothing else.

But I say, the main problem is just the fronts and you have wider guards for them.. so just do it! Maybe look at flaring the rear even if you don't need it so it doesn't look so odd with fat front guards!

but yeah i say DO IT!

my 19x10 fix without any camber kit or anything.. heres a pic of it the moment i got them on my car... it looked like a 4wd but they didnt rub which is the important part. if you dont want to fork out money on camber kits or whatever, just lower the car according to how much space you've got.

Thanks for all the help from everyone...

Ok, to afford the LM GT3 Nismo rims i will have to sell my current rims, they will be posted in the for sale section but i thought it appropriate to put them in here also...

Price : $1600

They are 4 x DOLCE DC-6's that are 19'' x 8'' (Fronts: WANLI S-1099 245/35 75% Tread... Rears:FALKEN AZENIS ST-115 245/35 80% Tread )

There are 1 very small mark on a Rim from when a car has kicked up a stone...

(not the long grey cord, that was from digital camera, about a cm to the left is a tiny mark, sorry bout quality but was best i could do and it really is a tiny mark)

Would have to be local pickup only too sorry, would not know where to begin to ship rims off to another place... Local pick up would be Wollongong or the Illawarra area...

The rims are perfect and look outstanding on Skylines... If interested please PM me or Leave a msg in here or in for sale section or msg my phone on 0421 545 240

Thanks... Jake

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.

Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      By Duncan · Posted

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?

      Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
