Hi,

I'd been trying to swap these wheels at first, but gave up.

bought myself a set of stockers so these are now up for sale.

18x8's

rear tyres are 245's and Dunlop SP 9000's

fronts are 235's and a mixed pair..

PCD = 5x114.3

Offset = I can't find them on the back of the rims. - pics in this thread and other thread will tell you how it looks on an R33.

No spacers are used.

more pics and conversation is in the previous swap thread.

Price = Offers over $600

I weighed them when I took them off.

21kg each (with tyres)

not bad considering the stockers I put on were 17.5kg

and these are 2 inches larger in diameter and 1.5 inches wider and the tyres are bigger again.

Location = Brisbane Northside.

Will fit all 5 stud skylines (probably not GTR offset though), all falcons and commondores.

Did you replace them with 17x8?

also R34 GTT cooler over the FMIC on stock turbo anyday.

nope.

I bought a set of R32 GTST stockers and sprayed them black - Looks ok on a white car.

and also got some some BF Goodrich 225's for them.

I now have a set of R33 stocker with good tyres and cash as payment for these 18's.

I'll clean up the stockers, maybe spray them black too and sell them off or keep them for the tyres (If I can find room).

with the cash, if no random bills come up, I'll get the R34 SMIC and boost controller and maybe OMGBRO pump If the cash stretches that far.

I have found a mate who wants to swap my Ipood nano for a boost controller and front antisway bar.

so that covers that.

I like the stock R32 rims.

I'll be keeping those.

The 33 ones I will sell after cleaning them up and painting them knee grow.

the tyres on them are practically new.

no it's a manual one.

like this setup

yeah stockers are 6.5 wide.

still fits 225's which is what is stock on GTR 8 inch wide rims.

besides, it's a street car.

it's fine.

The front antisway bar should make a good improvement and same for the controller.

your one isn't a turbotech one is it?

    • Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.
    • Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
    • Thanks @Duncan Ride height is fine. I think it's almost stock tbh. Happy to share a pic. I don't actually have a regular mechanic as haven't lived in Sydney too long. Could you or anyone recommend any shops in Sydney?
    • You just need a different blue slip shop (preferably one you regularly use as a mechanic), and make sure the coil overs are as close as possible to standard height
    • yeah the sugar refining companies were pushing for the same in Oz originally, all fuels were going to have 10% ethanol to make them "cheaper" (noting, that the loss in l/100 might be greater than the decrease in price). I guess they won that fight in Canadia
