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

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.

      Original window sticker?

      By Celticsfan03 · Posted

      Hey everyone. Is there a way I can get the original window sticker (maroney label) for my 1995 R33 GTST? I doubt I’ll be able to ever get it but it’s worth a shot to ask

      It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪

      And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil

      Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
