Hey, At the moment im researching on wheels for my car, I have a 1997 R33 GTS25.

I want a set of Nismo RAYS LMGT1's. Just because =p

Now there are several problems in this.

Because these are designed for a GTR and i have a GTS25, What will i need to do to get these rims on my car with no bodgey shortcuts or money saving techniques, I am only researching at the moment so money wont come into play untill later on...

From start to finish and every little detail included, What will i need to do to get these on my car?

Hope someone can help.

thanks

josh.

I'm not sure if I understand you correctly but you are saying that LMGT1s are only designed for GTRs? That is incorrect. If you have a GTST just source a set with the correct offsets to suit. If you find one with GTR offsets chances are you will need to pump your guards or roll ur lip to fit. I have a set of LMGT4s for sale if you are interested..GTST offsets :P

Oh right sorry, For some reason i was thinking they were for the GTR only, My car is a GTS25 non turbo, hopefully soon ill be looking to upgrade the brake's from the GTS to GTST setup, I wouldnt mind rolling the guards if i found wheels with GTR offset. As long as its guaranteed to work.

If ur after the LMGT1 specifically, then good luck...its hard finding 2nd hand ones let alone the correct offsets. Yahoo auctions in Japan are ur best bet, then when u find a set get a trader to import it in for you.

I have actually found someone at the moment selling a set for under $2k, Refurbished, but i do not have enough money at the moment...

doesn't really work tht way unfortunately...LM GT1s even though older and rarer is probably not as popular or sought after as the GT3s and 4s. I've seen LM GT1s go for bout 1.5k in 18s. 2nd hand sets on yahoo auctions normally go for around 50,000 to 60,000 yen...add freight and customs...u do the math. :P

I've got a set of LM GT3's on my '93 GTS-T, the inside of the rear guard has been rolled right back; but I'm keen on getting it flared soon. Additionally because they'll be running 275/35 18's, make sure that you roll the front guards too, or you'll have chunks out of your tyres on full lock (found that out the painful way). :)

EDIT:: Irrespective of that, you WILL get scrubbage on front tyres on full lock (corner of tyre hitting the plastic crap behind the tyres. Cut holes if ya gotta.)

I'm running D2 coilovers which are currently slammed hell hard though, so if you've got softer suspension, hopefully you can find a gtst offset, or flare those guards. :)

My suspension is factory for the GTS25 except for a set of NISMO struts which i think was a factory extra. It sits pretty high off the ground at the moment, About a foot :sorcerer:

First thing i need to do before anything is the brake upgrade, Ill have to drive around on steelies untill i get the gt1's i want :)

Im gonna go coil overs after i put the wheels on.

Damn some of these rims a fkn sweet!

I want a set of white ones in 18" not any smaller then that , I dont mind the white with chrome lip ones at all though :P

Ill keep my options open, The gt4's are steering away from what i want.. I dont really like the look of them, But each to their own they look hot on a 34 :(

ALSO how the hell do i make any sense of yahoo japan auctions?

i tried looking on there but i was lost hahah.

any way to view it in english or will i need someone that knows japanese keke

The only difference between the 05 ver GT4s is the center cap and color...both are forged lightweight monobloc wheels.

Thank you for that.

Yes its working :P but they suite your car though. SECKS!

I Like the GT3's i wouldnt mind hunting down a set of them in GTST offset in 18", i need a GTST brake conversion though :(

Instead of creating another thread..

What will i need for a gts25 - GTST brake conversion and how much will it cost for parts ONLY as me and my dad can fit them.

so far ive researched that i need:

GTST Hubs

GTST calipers

GTST master cylinder

GTST Rotors

GTST discs

New brake lines?

And do all of these need to be off a GTST that has ABS? as my car has ABS...

Hopefully thats all i need as id like to get this done fairy soon as soon as i have the money.

let me know if i have left anything out!

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      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.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      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

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      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).
