I think its Auto Tek, or made under contract to Autotek. I know the magnesium wheels for the R31 GTSR cost a small fortune. The japanese used BBS or something, Gibson the locally made rims.

I think the NSW crew is now running them as a result of their 18" Simmons not being correct. So maybe its something R31_Gun can answer quickly through Terry Ashwood. I doubt his rims are used magnesium wheels from 1990 :domokun:

Interesting it still has the std rear rack. I assume it has been shimmd up. Also the rear hubs are all GMS, though i thought that GMS Cars used Alcons back in the R32 dats???? (Though im not 100% on that)

I love those rear arms and hubs, and the swaybars etc. So wich i could steal that cradle for my car :thumbsup:

Castalloy in SA used to make the the rims. Terry believes that the moulds are no longer in existence if I remember righty.

Ran into a guy who used to work there a few years back, he remembers the team transporter turning up to pick up their rims.

By the way, awesome find.

Cheers

Terry, Rod and Chris are running 17"Speedlines at the moment.

The Original Castalloy magnesium wheels are past their use by date. Still ok for wets though.

I do like the 1990 colours but it won the ATCC in 1991 colours.

I think 1991 colours look alright as long as you don't run the dark grey wheels like they did at the start of the year.

Apparently that was Alan Heaphy's idea because he didn't like cleaning wheels....or so the story goes...

IMHO 1991 livery, white wheels, and no restrictions.

It was the year they beat up everything :thumbsup:

And Richo and Skaife actually caused quite a bit of panel damage racing each other!

I like both of them...

Go the daggy wheel covers...lol

I don't suppose you have any more hi-res images like these....?

This GMS doco project looks very interesting. And I love the 1991 'fake' as well. Awesome stuff.

The Japanese do the same with their roadcars.

      Tomei gasket

      I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.

      Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.

      WGNC34 - floor mats

      Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
