GTRsean, that carbon fibre front lip look nice.

Cheers. Ended up selling it to one of the guys on here because over time it would end up getting damaged on my daily...

Pretty sure it's a garage saurus lip.

My LM GT3's slid out in the wet today (well more aquaplaned) and said hello to a gutter :D

This kinda stuff's fixable right? I called Magman, and I'll have to email him pics to get a quote... Not cracked, just needs rolling out, and the rest welding or whatnot. I explained to him they're the Nismo rims...

Also, Steve: Not sure those are legit LM's. I'm pretty sure they didn't make them in 16". I may be wrong though.

Had these for over two years now.

They suit the 32's!

These are 18x10's all round.

Only problem I have had is the inner rim cracking, from fatigue crappy Sydney roads etc.

Got em de buckled, rewelded and machined. Running 265 35R18 tyres all round, as I was running 255 35's, too stretched lol.

You know ive got a soft spot for these things

Whats the offset?

Also, what guard/lining mods have been done?

I had 18x9.5 on before, stretched 235's to fit under the guards as mines low. Currently on R33 GTR rims which will be replaced as soon as i find the right offsets and design for a nice 18'' but this time i want 18x10 :P

Hey Owen,

I recently got my Lm GT1 18X10 shaved back for some gutter rash which was inherited when i bought the car... The Magman will prob charge u a large amount for these as the inside of the wheels need to separated from the othside of the rim as they need to reanodise the wheel. You can do separate this youself but it does take some time might be cheaper too.. just ask the place where u werre gone get it done at. The cost would be mainly due to the outside rim being aniodised. This is a surface coating which you will notice gives the outer part i.e the rim of the wheel a "shinner" look. When geting your wheels shaved back for gutter rash you loose this anionised effect.. in addition when they weld onto the rim to fill in deep gashs the aniodised finish may sometimes discolour... (purplish metal colour) so you should be aware of this before getting them welded.

Any way i reckon they are an awesome rims and pretty rare, so fixing them might be a good idea...you need to do the balance thou, if they gonna charge you too much then its prob not worth it.

Hope some of this information helps

Cheers

I got these as well, can't be that rare >_< . I got mine when I told the place that I bought the car from that I didn't want their cheap 18's. so they took 2 grand of the the price and put on some 17" lm-gt's. I was kinda happy though I aint completely sold on em.

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
