just wondering if any of you skyline gurus out there could tell me if the r34 gtr wheels come in more than the one dark grey color from factory.

Ive just aquired a pair of r34 GTR wheels that are a lighter grey (similar to the r33 gtr wheel color) it looks too good to be done aftermarket as the match on the centre caps is perfect aswell as the paint around the wheel nuts etc.

Anyway not that important but was just interested to know.

When i was in Japan last I saw a set of silver rims and a set of gunmetal (looked like blackchrome) . I think they were both original limited edition ( they looked original ) but can't say for sure .

a guy i know with a r34 gtr has a set of gtr wheels on that are about a 12 spoke with a ring around about 2 inches from the lip of the ring. i will try to get pics. they are white and have gtr stamped on them.

You mean this one? enkei NT03

yeah, them in white.

wasn't sure if they were an actual gtr wheel or not.

Not a factory wheel but I have seen these in some dealer catalogs as dealer options in 1999. But you could get a great deal of things as dealer options when the GTR came out.

I've seen a lot of Japanese GTR's with these on. example:

seeming as there were 400 they arent THAT rare then, also they are pretty scratched already so it wont matter when I do things like this...

Well yah. They aren't particularly rare actually but they go for 50% more than a set of standard one's in Japan on average. Not a huge market for them though so they don't sell like hotcakes.

    • 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).
