Hey guys,

It sure is hard to find a place that has a decent range of 17"s to choose from, that clear the Turbo factory calipers!

Have tried ozzytyres, Bob jane, Wheel revolutions and they don't have anything that i want. Keith for wheels mentioned they have a few, but I haven't checked them out yet.

Does anyone recommend a place when they were wheel shopping that has a good range? I may even consider buying 2nd hand rims, or just putting some proper bolt on spacers on my current ones...

Try Grahams SWT on Moss ST, they are pretty much across the rd from wheels revolution...what type of wheels are u chasing? Just a note, IF you are chasing wheels with big dish ur not gonna find many that will fit in OZ shops...best to chase up some jap wheels with custom offset, or look in the classifieds section and buy wheels u know have come off a skyline.

We have just recently been looking for rims and have had a pretty hard time just getting people to get back to us re prices. Apparently no one wants our money. But then we tried Tyre Zone at Cleveland and they have been brilliant. It's a family business and they do have a pretty good range. We have the car booked in for Friday. Their website is: http://www.tyrezone.net.au

ROH make a wheel named Drift R. Available in 17's and they have a bit of dish also.

Go to the ROH Website, then click Product Catalogue, then click Passenger (Drift R wheels can be found in there).

Here's a pic of what they look like on a S1 R33

The ROH website also has a section where you can enter your car details, select the rim size you are wanting and a list of suitable rims will be produced for you >_<

Try Grahams SWT on Moss ST,

hi, i had same issues aswell. ive also tried them all and keith for wheels, and the above quoted place. and they all seems to not be able to get the wheels i wanted either. or they were extremely expensive.

found that speedy do some wheels, with correct offsets, and brake clearences for skylines, good prices,

check out what they got here. (they also supply alot of places. i actually got kmart to order mine, and got a awsome deal on tyres aswell.

check out speedy's website here. http://www.speedywheels.com.au/

cheers, n goodluck :)

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
