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!

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

    • 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.  
    • 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       
    • 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).
