These arnt drift teks dude.. They arnt made in 18" i also found this out .. so what are they?

They are Rota P45R's, i know this because i was going to import some from the usa a while ago, some people in the uk also call them Rota GTR's, if you do a search on google for both of these names you will find pics of the exact same wheels and most of the colours they are avaliable in.

is it just me or is the first pic of all the diff colourd wheels diff to the rest of the pictures? i want 18's in black so someone buy my starcorp's!

Yip the pic of all the different coloured wheels are not the wheels that are for sale on this group buy, they are another "copy wheel" they are copied from a wheel called "desmond regamasters".

Hey FOBS15 I am thinking of getting them for my S15 as well. What size are you getting? I have stock guards front and rears are lipped.

Im thinking

18 x 8.5 ET25 offset front

18 x 8.5 ET30 offset rear

should be flush with guards and clear coilovers.

Not sure 18 x 8.5 ET30 offset would clear coils at the front and that 18 x 9.5 ET30 offset would fit in the rears

I am planning to get 18 x 8.5 +30 all round. Should fit nice. If they were 9.5 on the fronts then they'd def hit the coilovers.

FOBS15: You still have not updated your first post as requested.

I will check again at the end of the afternoon and if the supplier details have not been included, this thread will be removed.

if this groupbuys still going, i'll be in for black 18x8.5 30 X4, how much was it with tyres included?

Sorry this GB is only for the whells alone. Might organise a GB for tyres. See how this goes first.

I need to know if these will 100% fit an R33 GTSt, anyone have confirmation on offset? If so then i should be in for a set of bronze 18's.

This also depends on the width ur goin for. Offset if im not mistaken is +30 on those Skylines, correct me if im wrong please as im into my silvia's.

Also pplz please remember that the spoke profile is different on less wider wheels. Pics are showing a 9.5 inch wide wheel. Spoke profile is different on smaller width wheels. I will try get a hold of some pics and post so u get an idea of what im talkin about.

    • I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies. 
    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
