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!

Where do I get good aftermarket rims from? It's gonna be $2300 for the 34GTR rims with no rubber... I dun like the GTR bit in the center as much as u guys dont :D

Although my car does already have a GTR wing and factory GTR diff :(

What are these rims they look hot...

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)

-i should have a few set of rims laying around in the nxt few months, as im constantly changing my mind lol

just some examples of what you can get if you got the cash :O pricers are ruff est. too tied to work out what they would really cost so i just over est lol

cheers michael

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
