Hi guys/gals

I have myself an R33 with aussie FTL ROH wheels :wub::happy:

I've searched and searched and I can't seem to find any wheels I want so I need some help.

Here's the criteria: Jap, 17"-18" and under around $1800 (without tyres). I've been looking at URAS NS-01 but they're discontinued and the only size I've been able to find them in it 17 x 8 and I wanted the 17 x 9.5. I also love the bee*r wheels that are similar looking to the URAS but I don't think they're available in Aus. The Volk CE28N is a super sexy wheels but I'd say that would be stretching the budget a little!

So any suggestions on wheels or where to go to buy em?

if you like the bee*r / uras wheel, dont be afraid at that price to get a set of drifteks. Cheap enough if ya break them and dont look that bad

Maybe shop around some of the traders to see whats coming across in containers second hand. XD9s look porn tho :happy:

Well, BEE-R's and URAS NS-01's are both discontinued.

XD9's are a very good wheel for the money.

And there's nothing wrong with the ROH's....... as long as they're the custom 3 piece modulars and not the mass produced cast wheels. I got mine in custom offsets/widths/face types for less that 2K, and in 4 stud too.

Have you Looked at 5 Zigen GN+ Racer wheels? Can have you a set here for under $1600. Or $1800 for 18's.

Your biggest problem is if you buy here, you're paying a huge markup on them...... if you order from japan, you'll save a ton. In saying that, it's not that Aussie buisnesses are slapping huge amounts of markup on them for themselves..... it's to cover buying the wheels, import taxes, customs duties, freight etc. and then their profit goes on top.

Jump on Nengun/Greenline.co.jp/Perfect Run etc and see if you can get a set delivered here?

Exactly what Id be doing.

Thanks for that advice. The 5zigens are a great looking wheel too, and much better priced. I'll check out the websites and have a search around.

Get the Rims through Jesse Streeter who is a regular importer of parts on NS.com... his email is [email protected]

He got my XD9's for me, and by the time i paid shipping via EMS (got them 3 days after he sent them) it cost around 1700 landed.

tell him what other rims your after and he will get you prices. His reputation is A1 and will not rip you off.

Another person to praise Jesse Streeter, looks like that's a good avenue for purchase.

$1700 perfect, just under budget :starwars:

    • Working through possible solutions of converting my mechanical speedo.    Anyone know what type of speedo sensor the factory r34 gtr getrag has ? what the output is ? I assume its not a VSS and more a voltage like earlier speedo sensors ? Can an ECU read it ?  
    • roof rail delete used to be a thing, they were made locally for a while too
    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
