Hiya all,

I've just taken these mags off my car and i was told they were genuine nismo LMGT4's (17x9) but regardless of this the wheels didn't fit my GTR (spacers, apparently they're a 30 offset, suited for gsts and silvias), i've had them replaced and now im just trying to identify them. Does anyone have LMGT4s, that can tell me what to look for? cant see any nismo badging, they've got the nismo decal ofcourse, but nothing to suggest the brand by any casting information on the mags.

thanks in advance.

Mate I have LMGT4's on my GTT. (F 17 x8.5 x 35, R 17 x 9.5 x 38) They do not have any Nismo stamp on them other than the face decal. They should have a Rays sticker on the inside telling you size and offset. It is the spoke pattern that makes them Nismo LMGT4's nothing else. They should be able to be lifted with the little finger (wheel only) as they are forged monobloc construction hence the lightness. Rays make them for Nismo.

From my Nismo catalogue they should weigh about 7.7 kg bare so 11 with rubber is about right. Also details on size and offset can be had from the Nismo site. Scroll down until you get to section 4. It is in Japanese but sizes are in English. Fairly easy to interpret.

But to give you some idea, the R34 GTR requires an offset of 12 if the wheel is a 17 x 9.5. The wheels you have would suit an R33 GTST and maybe some others.

Cheers and hope that helps

Here ya go mate, just match them up with these

awsome, thanks mate,

unfortunately they're not genuine they havent got the "made in japan" and the decal seems a bit smaller on these, and they were also missing the rays brand, which got me suspicious in the first place. The mags i just got put on are drifteks and they seem to have the same badging, seems these ones are just drifteks + nismo sticker. Im planning on selling them, just wanted to confirm authenticity.

cheers guys!

hmm bout 11ish kg with tyres

hey guys, they will be nowhere near 11 with tyres. tyres weigh a lot more than 4-5 kgs more like double that, i weighed a lm-gt4 17 by 7.5 with tyre and it was 16.5kg. your being 9inch wide should be a couple of kg more than that.

attached is a pic of bronze gt4

Gotta admit I was only guessing on the rubber content. Apologies all round if I have misled anyone.

cheers

    • @Murray_Calavera  If I were an expert I wouldn't be in here looking for assistance.  I am extremely computer literate, have above average understanding on how things should be working and how they should tie together.  If I need to go to a professional tuner so be it, but I'd much rather learn and do things myself even if it means looking for some guidance along the way and blowing up a few engines. @GTSBoy  I was hoping it would be as simple as a large vacuum leak somewhere but I'm unable to find anything, all lines seem to be well capped or going where they need to be, and when removed there is vacuum felt on the tube.  It would be odd for the Haltech built in MAP to be faulty, the GTT tune I imported had it enabled from the start, I incorrectly assumed it was reading a signal from the stock MAP, but that doesn't exist.  After running a vacuum hose to the ECU the signal doesn't change more than 0.2 in either direction.   I'll probably upload a video of my settings tomorrow, as it stands I'm able to daily drive, but getting stuttering when giving it gas from idle, so pulling away from lights is a slow process of revving it up and feathering the clutch until its moving, then it will accelerate fine.  It sounds like I need to get to the bottom of the manifold pressure issue, but the ignition timing section is most intimidating to me and will probably let a pro do that part.  Tomorrow I'll try a different vacuum line to T off of, with any luck I selected one that was already bypassed during the DBW swap. @feartherb26  I do have +T in the works but wanted to wait until Spring to start with that swap since this is my good winter AWD vehicle.  When removing the butterfly, did it leave a bunch of holes in the manifold that you needed to plug?  I thought about removing it but assumed it would be a mess.   I notice no difference when capping the vacuum line to it or letting it do its thing.  This whole thing has convinced me to just get a forward facing manifold when the time comes though.
    • Update: tested my spark plugs that are supposed to be 5ohms with a 10% deviation and one gave me a 0 ohms reading and the rest were 3.9ohm<, so one bad and the others on their way out.
    • 9" wheels are a little too wide for a RWD 32. They can fit. People have put R33 GTR wheels on 32s for years and years. But they are a very tight squeeze. This has been known for about 30 years. As I said - there is no difference between a 17 and an 18 in terms of what will fit. The rolling diameter needs to stay about the same as stock - not very much larger. If you increase that, you will start to have problems. If you increae rolling diamater at the same time as yo increase width, you will have problems earlier. as 9" wheels are pushing the boundaries already, you would need to be careful with tyre choice. I would put 8.5s on the front of mine, but would expect problems with 9s.

    • Diagnostic flow for a code 21 says check signal at the ECU pins, on a voltmeter of some kind it should read 0.1V at idle, 0.12V cranking, 0.15-0.25V at 2000 rpm. Check each coil such that +1, -3 is infinite or very high resistance, -3, +2 should do the same. (-1, +3), (+3, -2), (+1, -2), and (-1, +2) should all be somewhere between 0 ohms and high resistance. If you trace the path from the coil pin all the way back to the ECU in the diagram the resistance you measure at the coil vs connected to the harness should be pretty much the same.
