OK I've been looking for some decent track rims and these are the best price/performance I can currently find for under $2000

How would you think they would look on my Silver R33 GTR?

Yes Mick, I'll put FEDERAL 595 RS's on them (unless you can get the r's for me)

I'm with TiTAN. Go the larger, fancier rims for around town and keep the stockies for track work. That is unless you plan on getting some really monster brakes and will need the larger wheels all the time?

If that's the case then you will have no futher need for your stockies and i'll be the first to put my hand up for them...

I want to go with the larger rims with more expensive tyres for track work then cheaper tyres for daily driving (something I do a lot more of). Besides anyone can see the amount of stress I put on the 17" tyres around the track so I'm very keen on getting better performing tyres and 18"s are the best for the track currently.

I think they'll look nice but with more dish. Colour....?? On silver cars, I like silver, gold, bronze and maybe white but white would depend on the wheels. Never been a big fan of black wheels, always thought you kind of rip your self off cos black hides the wheels so it doesn't really matter what style they are, where as lighter colours highlight them more......did that make sense? Having said that, I have seen some nice ones with polished rims but they tend to be for show only, ie: big and heavy. Just my 2cents.

Ps: The ones on the Beema look hot as but they look like they're at least 19s.

Thanks everyone for the feedback, I've got to check out Towlie's wheels but unless they are something special I'm going with the SSR's

Leech yes I have a Silver GTR, but black wheels, na.. the lady in charge of "bling" wanted back wheels until I showed her black wheels on silver cars, I'm now excluded from looking at black wheels.

JD-33 spot on mate.

Mang have you looked at the price of those wheels... I could not afford 2 of the for the price I'm getting all 4 of the SSR's

Tarmac, you make perfect sense :D

The reason for the 18"'s as explained is I have worn the side walls off the 17" 585SS Federals doing a training day at the track, so I need good tyres with less sidewll flex for a real track day. Yes I'm still keen on running a track day, but I've been slowed with supplier issues.

    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
