hehhe, i looked into the exact same thing over at the gtr.co.uk forums. Yep, they make 18" copies of the LM-GT4, about the only ones i know of besides Bee-R, but i'd say Bee-R B5's are a product all of their own.

I did come across some pics of Rota rims cracking at the track (at the gtr.co.uk forums) but didn't see any problems with the 'GTR' rims (i think that's the what the GT4 copies are called) Prob cost a crap load to get them out here mate. I recommend you stick with some Jap rims, get something forged :P

looks like we are on the same page, thanks for pointing out those Bee-r b5s they look nuts

Just thought id let you know, i bought some rota gtrs(p45r) for the front and rear of my r33 (x9.5" all round).....ive had em on for 2 years now, best rims ive ever had, never had any problems with them, and everyone comments on how good the rims look!!!, yeh theyre nismo lmgt4 copies, but not bad at all, and for 1/3 the price, i payed AU $1750 for a set of brand new 4 x 9.5" gloss black rims.

P.S: they are light let me tell you that much, mine weighed in at around 7-8kgs each, compared to my old dishes which were like 23kgs each...do the math...

i love em.

Steve, a mate of mine from the UK (wiltshire) has a set of 18 LMGT-4 copies on his GTR.

Although he said poor quality and deff second rate materials. He found this out after going over some road works (not like 2 meter holes or anythinh excessive) and it cause a crack in the rim, the tyre went flat and rim was bent and then took it too a specialist mag rim repairer and said it was unrepairable....

Could have been bad luck.... but after reading that I bought genuine nismos.... I had em up in a recent post. very nice, excellant quality.

But not having seen the rotas in the flesh its hard to compare.... but alls I can say is Nismo rims are The Business.

    • 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.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
