Ok car is black, wondering what people's thoughts are on this..

I was looking to chuck on some R34 GTR rims on my R33. What do you guys think and has anyone had an dramas doing this before? I'm looking at getting some in the silver colour which are in great condition but I was originally after the bronze/green colour. Reckon I should stick with the silver or re-colour to the bronzey green colour? EDIT: They are the right colour I just didn't see them properly (camera flash made em look silverish :domokun:)

I attached a pic of the rims I might be getting.. and a pic of the current rims in their "clean" state which get real dirty and are flaking away etc.

the gtr rims are nice but over priced in my opinion as michael said for the price there are alot of other rims you can get. Also dont like how they would be sayin GTR on the center caps for each rim yet would be on a gtst... like stickin GTR badges on your gtst

gts-t's dont run staggered fitments, however its common for aftermarket rims.

like others have said, R34 GTR rims are alright, but overpriced for what they are.

go buy a set of volk/work rims (or even a certain set of forged sparco rims. :P) that will fit perfectly, and look better.

Like many others I'd suggest aftermarket rims, because people will think you are trying to pose as a gtr... and nobody likes posers! BTW it's a well known fact that fake gtr badges on a gts-t makes baby jesus cry (not that you're doing that... right? :P).

genuine r34 gtr wheels are still like $3K with decent tyres, you could get a very hot set of Works 18s etc for that price too.

dont dream of slamming your car with r34 gtr wheels, as they will rub on the front no doubt!

japan....

shipping is $300 by sea (takes 4 to 8 weeks) EMS is around double that $600ish takes 4-7days. shipping pricers are without tyres.

with a budget of 2 to 2.5k inc shipping you will be able to pick up some nice rims

for example

LM-GT4 19inch suit gtr landed to ur door for about 2.5k-3k

a15687287-img600x450-1181007052dscf1793.jpg

brand new WorkEmotionCRKai (18inch) 2.5k landed (or less)

600x450-2007053000029.jpg

Volk Gt-C 2.5k-3k landed - gtr spec

scadenza_2001-img600x450-1180837453ca0cz3fn.jpg

buddy club p1 2-2.5k landed (or less)

hesetomo4977-img600x450-1180975361p1010341.jpg

BBS LM 2-2.5k (or less)

600x450-2007030700037.jpg

or bargain price SAR3 for 1.5 to 2k (more towards 1.5k or less)

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
