seeing as all the jap stuff has gone up in price over the past year or so, has it affected the price of private sale r34 gtr wheels?

for example lets say 1 year ago work rims were 1500 for a set, now today there 2500

now lets say today r34 gtr wheels are 2000, what where they say a year ago

i hope i made sense as i need some sleep now, ill update in the morning if no1 knows wtf im talking about :(

Work rims are $2500??

I think you will find a set 18's will set you back close to $2,700.

If you are buying 34 GTR rims from japan then yes they will cost more because you are paying for them in Yen. Just find the price in JPY and google will tell you what that is in AUD approximately.

Yahoo auctions etc is one place that might sell them. But you could probably find someone selling them here in Aus.

R34 GT-R wheels on an R33 GTS-T?

i dont think it will suit....

ive seen GT-R wheels on R32 and it looked kinda cheesy

i think the GT-R R33 wheels would look much better on the GTS-T

Really? I think they look tough, with a little lowering, they sit sooo neat in the guards. Offsets are perfect, wouldn't want more than a 245 tho'

The stock R32 GT-R Rims look neat... so does the R33 GT-R.

i think that if he really liked the all round...R34 GT-R look he may as well save up and buy the actual car in the end... instead of sticking parts on the R33 GTS-t

but getting better rims than the existing ones is a different story. with that sort of money, he'd probably be able to get something nicer and more suitable to the car

Interesting logic, if you like one bit, you should save up until you can buy the rest... :laugh:

I guess "nicer" is a subjective thing, just cos you think it's nice, doesn't mean someone else will. Besides, an r34 GTR rim is forged, so, light /strong and not bad value, if you buy at the right price.

It's all personal choice.

it depends....

stock OEM parts from japan are very expensive...

sometimes at the same price you could buy some aftermarket branded products...

do you know how much the OEM stock Nissan R33 GT-R stereo costs from nissan?! 800$ brand new AUD

with that price you could buy the latest MP3 player from the leading brands for less than half its price.

im sure alot of the Genuine Nissan R34 GT-R parts are very dear at Brand new as well...

Darron at Just Jap recently sold R34 GT-R rims with 50% tyres for $2400 early this year. He said the wheels were a bit scuffed.

HEKT1K has R34 GT-R wheels on his R33 GTsT with slightly stretched tyres and they look tough!

im not so worried how it will look. at first i was worried how they'd look on a silver 33 series 2 then i came across this pic which answered my question. although it does have a gtr front bar and wing, ill probably take the center caps off and put some blue nuts on. and maybe get a drift/duck wing to replace my series 2 spoiler and get some coilies to lower her. im not only after looks, as mentioned before they are very light, strong, and resell value should still be high as everyone wants them.

my question was more regarding whether i should wait a while as the economy might recover slightly to bring the price down? coz if the aussie dollar gets stronger, jap wheels will go down. but did r34 gtr rims go up in price since the dollar went to shit or have they always been fairly pricey as ppl dont buy them brand new they mainly get passed around.

anyways heres the pic

I don't think he was intending to buy new, I thought it was more a question about whether the poor exchange rate was effecting prices of imported parts...

You are right tho', there is other equipment that is much more competitive on price. My point was that a set of gtr wheels bought secondhand would be cheaper than buying new wheels of similar construction.

Plus, as the pics show, they look the goods.

      New lightweight, square wheel/tyre combo for the E90

      What type of track driving will you be doing?  Do you have a set of class rules you need to abide by that will limit your rim / tyre width?

      New lightweight, square wheel/tyre combo for the E90

      By PranK · Posted

      I've been reading a lot lately about unsprung weight and how beneficial it can be to reduce it for driving on the track, given my semi's only have another day or two in them I am throwing around the idea of some lighter wheels and a square set up. I have 265/35/19's and 245/40(?)/19 Federal 595's at the moment. The wheels and tyres are super heavy. I looked up my wheel weight online and got 14.5kg naked. Not sure if this was 8.5 (front) or 9 (rear) but that's a lot. I have also been reading about the benefits of a square setup. Much better rotation and potentially less understeer.  When I throw these together I'm thinking about a 17x9 or 18x9 square (preferably under 10kgs per wheel) with 245 or 255's. I can get some cheap 17x8.5 BMW M Sport wheels, they weight 10.5 kg's each but at 8.5 wide could probably only get 245's on them? I know they come with 255's from factory but semi's are a bit chunkier. Otherwise it will be aftermarket wheels in a 9" width. Most of the other BMW wheels are heavy unless you pay a squillion dollars for some M wheels.  Although, the E46 M3 Style 67's could be good but I'd have to buy 2 sets to square them up.  My car has a tickle over 400hp and about to put an LSD in also, is 245 a little thin for a square setup? It kinda feels that way to me. Also, is there any tangible benefit to having 18's over 17's? Is the footprint demonstrably bigger? From those of you who went to light(er) wheels after heavy buggers, did you notice it much?

      RB26dett R33 gtst swap

      Start with the R32 GTR wiring diagram. The ECU is essentially the same, so the pinouts are good. The details around ECCS relays, etc might differ a little bit, but the reality is that you need to get ignition power to kick the ECU so it powers up the ECCS relay which brings the rest of the ECU up. This also gives power to the other circuits that are needed to make the engine run, like the ignition coils, etc. All of this is visible on the R32 diagram and should give you a strong guide, even if it's not quite the same as the R33. As to specifics - I'm pretty sure no-one can help you from afar, as there is no way to know what mistake or omission has been made in connecting stuff up. It always turns out to be "LOL, I shorted something and an entire wire vanished out of the loom", or "We never connected X or Y main connector", or "shit, you mean I need to have that fuse installed?".

      hahahaa @GTSBoy that is my last resort. Like use a cardboard and cut it using the indicator as a reference. But I was winging my luck to see anyone had a spare bumper because drawing the outline off the hole is always easier and less chance of mucking it up
