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!

      Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
